"I cannot stand by and watch my people be slaughtered"...There it is

[livingwithapurpose]

Death of innocent people is more despicable.

Councilman is an activist for the people they serve. I stand with District 1 Councilman #LaShadionShemwell.

The officer was wreckless and dangerous.

[action]

It’s the truth! You know that pinched a nerve with Texas.

[nened]

This is so sad, Stop the money flow to Texas, No traveling - spending money there- Vote officials out! Educate black people on who to vote out and Vote them Out!

We as a people need to bring back The Black Motorist "Green Book", a travel guide for African-Americans that was published from 1936 to 1967. But now make it into an App.

I would give the state of Texas and for people traveling to the us to Texas a code red for the terror thats going on with the police department.

Meanwhile, the Police can be JUDGE, JURY and EXECUTIONER...GTFOH!

[jamesgarrett]

You right bro call that devil out THE WORLD SEE THAT COWARD FOR WHO HE IS

[essencenicole]

Wait...he has to choose between being an activist or a council member because he can't be both😂😂😂😂😂😂
Isn't being a city council member considered activism??
Wypipo are fundamentally crazy

[barryneal]

What do you mean you can't be an activist and a councilman???? What is that Mayor

[Smokeg]

It's been like this from 1492 to present

[breannah.]

I dare you give him a choice that is the reason why he was elected as councilman to speak up for the people in which he have said! Black and brown people are tired!

[tshepokgwele]

"we just want to live", the mayor disagrees

[semmieelston]

Why can't he be a activist and a councilman. We have a president that is a president and also erase s what's the difference?

[lexeiy]

You cannot be a councilman and an activist...What kind of nonsense is this man spewing out of his mouth? The very meaning of being someone that is a councilman is one that stands with the people...period! Of course he can be and is both a councilman and in being a councilman he feels the people's pain + can indeed stand with them in solidarity! 👏👏👏👏❤

[carlosh]

I been thinking about starting a group of change ...it's so much that goes on we need more black man too stand up

[ms.smithgamechanger]

STAY STRONG SIR ! You have every right to speak for your people and warn everybody of danger ! You are a great man ! And you are a HERO! ALL COUNCILMEN/WOMEN SHOULD BE ACTIVISTS !

[tootallmccall]

It's felt across the country not just Texas. Don't minimize the impact this tragedy had on us especially people of color
