When you call the police because of domestic issues it takes it to a whole different level. Tensions are high, emotions are racing, if your partners has to involve police let them go asap

[MyronDavismd]

The reality is that a lot of the young people who fight and run, don’t respect ANY authority. Be honest. Parents, teachers, preachers, building security, even grandmothers are disrespected. They aren’t afraid of Law Enforcement because they don’t obey ANY law except “their own.” Understanding of these basics HAS TO start at home.

Sounds like he just wanted to fight. He was fighting her and then he was fighting the cops - and he lost. It's senseless but he caused it on himself.

[sethjoyner]

Maybe they'll have pictures from when he was 7 in a church choir

He literally could've walked out calmly with his life, dignity and what sanity left.

When it comes to the police, don't do the three F's. Don't fight. Don't fuss. Don't flee. If necessary, win your case in court.

Why didn’t he leave? He put himself in that situation by fighting and resisting. If he would’ve left, the police would have let things be and he would be alive today

Officer: STOP RESISTING

Guy: nope.

Officer: Understandable have a nice day

That's why Police say a domestic call is the most dangerous one because of emotions running high! 🙄. And the victim can turn on the Cops for arresting the significant other 🤷🏽‍♂️.

Just remember, the police were called on the guy that wouldn't comply.

I'm forty-six, I was real selective of the women that I chose to be with. If you shacking up 'cause you got no house, no food, or no car, you're soon gonna be in a world of problems. Man or woman, stand on your own two feet, but keep a solid support network. I broke up w. a girl at her apartment, talked for a bit, grabbed my stuff and left, walking in the rain.

"The family's attorney however said thats not what happened." Even attorney's lie. My word people just don't think you're going to fight with police and the police won't have to use force.

[josecaneda]

Cops gave him a choice to leave on his own two feet. Now he left in a body bag. He chose this.

[scott]

I completed my investigation just by watching this three minute video. He not only did not comply, not only did he resist, he aggressively fought back and furthermore he removed the officers taser and used it on the officer. This investigation is over.

[ReggieCox]

The family has no case in this situation. Just leave the damn house. This is just a case of a SIMP who don't know when to leave a woman alone and move on.

[WillisVision]

He forced his way into someone else's motel room, evaded the officer's questions, and resisted arrest. His guilt is obvious.

[MrAlexito]

Whatever happen to “hands up don’t shoot”? Now it’s “resist arrest, fight back and uhh...still don’t shoot”

[shaun]

"Don't touch me, only I can touch other people". This thug mentality is in so many young people's lives, even girls now. Keep them in jail

[robbie]

He was such a good boy he would always remember to beat his girlfriend until she said I love you. Now that's true love

[chaunceychappelle]

Finds girl in hotel room, assuming she was not in there with him, then get's shot... this a valuable lesson in knowing when to take an L and keep it moving.
