Running away from police, shooting at them while trying to get away, getting out of car with ski mask and running, stopping and turning towards cops after you shot at them....all adds up to consequences.

“Forget the Uvalde footage and focus on the race war we want to create. Also, ignore this person fled in the car and on foot before being shot.”

This country may never recover from the state we’re in. The Mayor, above all, sends his condolences to the family of a man who tried to kill the officers protecting his city. Gutless coward.

Once he shot from his vehicle he was marked for death.

0:12 Why would he say all this if he knows the video shows he shot at the police? Honestly, is he that dense? You dont mourn someone who got shot by the police when they were in fact trying to kill police officers.

Does the family of Jayland Walker want 10 million dollars and the key to the city ??

If you're a criminal, dying is part of the game.

A quick lesson for those who might be curious as to how this works: if you flee from the police at high speeds, shoot out of the vehicle, and then lead a foot pursuit in a ski mask, expect to be shot— a lot.

So, dude refuses to stop a lawful traffic stop, SHOOTS at the police in the ensuing pursuit, foot bales out of the car and runs, stop, suddenly turns - possibly still with the gun and cops shoot him. Did I miss something?

Sorry ABC, you can’t start a race riot on this one.

[Moleanimationchannel]

Imagine having a stolen gun, shooting at police and then fleeing police. Next, the family asks why?

[crand]

I think it is not humanly possible to survive 60 gunshot wounds for very long.

The guy shot at his police officers and yet he apologized to the the family? This is alarming . He tried to kill police.

[SASDPNV]

"Outraged" and giving an apology for a guy who fired from a moving vehicle at police with innocent people in the background? Give me a fuking break this guy was a danger to society, he could have killed someone. He showed no regard for human life and was an active threat to everyone's lives.

I’m from the Uk and America and it’s citizens have to tip toe around certain crimes and subjects because of a mans skin you lot are an embarrassment to the world if this would happened anywhere in the world those officers would of been give medals

They really need to make journalism mandatory.
The description :25 year old black man shot for minor traffic violation
The whole story: suspect flees in vehicle and then on foot, and final confrontation lead to shots fired

I've been pulled over before. I didn't get shot because I was polite and followed the officers orders.

[fidelabc]

And people will still defend him like he was an innocent civilian doing nothing wrong. Sick of this stupid movement to try and make these people look like they're heroes and such...

[therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar]

I don’t know but 60 bullet holes are likely to be fatal.

[Graybeard_]

"ME's report indicates 61 bullet wounds to Mr. Walker's body" . . . "officers diligently provided first aid to save his life"
A textbook example of an oxymoron.

Thanks for the clickbait. I watched a press conference... Fool me once as they say
