Shoot first, cover-up later. How many times are we going to hear " we thought it was a weapon" ?

Who on earth would just stay calm when being invaded in the middle of the night at gun point?

[rollofenrir]

Did they find nothing wrong with their actions after investigating themselves 💩

[evilkirk]

KILLING?
THIS WAS A BLATENT MURDER !
District Attorney: FILE THIS CASE AS MURDER.
God Help Us. Not even safe in your own bed wearing bed clothing.
Sincere condolences to his family and close friends.
NO ONE WILL EVER GET OVER THIS MURDER CASE.
God knows how bad this HURTS. This is so messed up.
Why was that policeman allowed to possess a firearm?

You already know he shot the guy illegally so investigate what I don’t understand

*Anyone who has been in the military knows that, before you fire a shot, you have to positively identify that a weapon is in the hands of the person your shoot. Most importantly, the weapon has to be pointed toward you, and the person must be given time to put the weapon down, unless it's a combat situation where you are engaging a known enemy combatant* 🤷🏽‍♀️.

They just refuse to learn from their mistakes.

When they're at the shooting range, this is the shot they are practicing in their head. they're actually saying to themselves "he reached for something" each time they pull the trigger.

Stop doing “No Knock Warrants” that is a death sentence. Most people when sleeping, sleep beside a means to defend themselves from intruders to their homes or where ever they sleep. And law enforcement knows this!! This was a planned murder under the guise of a warrant! The guy was a violent person however. Did not need escalating to targeting him in the middle of the night when most people are sleeping!! This should change immediately. No more “No Knock Warrants”

The part that solidified it for me, in the full video the cop who shot almost immediately holsters his weapon. I’m not even confident he meant to shoot. If I was a cop who just shot someone I thought was a threat, I’m sure as hell not putting my gun down. You could see it in his body language, he knew he took a bad shot.

They tell him not to resist while he is dead.. That's the most dangerous thing I've seen.

[martyh]

Totally inappropriate handling & shooting of an unarmed man in bed. It seems very obvious hat police did not properly assess the situation and right away started shooting. Crazy and outrageous actions by these tyrants.
Why not first just open the bedroom door, observe in a safe distance, and demand the person to get up and get on the ground.

Too bad the homeowner didn't send them gang bangers leaving in blue line body bags.

[walterrichardson]

He couldn't help himself. It's in his bloodline

[imthebest]

He better get more than 10 years, that's what tackling a guy at Jan 6 gets

[fangugel]

The courts only care about a split second of the police officer's impression. How can anyone be found guilty under that standard?

[Twisty]

You hear the cop say oh right after he fired clearly indicating he knew he screwed up! Tired of this he had something BULLSHIT!

[laggy]

You see the cops screaming stop resisting as the guy is dying

[jamaicasysbm]

This is going be 20 million dollar lawsuit, the state will have settle it as soon as possible

Columbus Police showed up at my house at 1:30 AM after I called in a report of somebody pulling a gun on me. However, that was 4 hours earlier.
I'm subjected to an organized stalking harassment program because I am a whistleblower that tried to expose corruption in their court system. I now have to be concerned that they're going to try and kill me then call it suicide just like they did to John Lang. They would follow this up with a manufactured wellness check where they tried to break into my home. I think they're just probing to see how quickly they can get in and when the time comes. Trust me, this sucks.
