Lying, useless cops. They will never admit to making a mistake, very disheartening.
Police wonder why they're hated and distrusted so much.. its because of incidents like this. Public wonders why there's a shortage of police, its because they're getting caught.
Was the escalation necessary?
End qualified immunity, and let’s create a civilian authority oversight to oversee and enforce protection measures and budget salary levels
should sue who ever called the cops
Democrat Utopia...
fake ....try to get paid suing the cops ... obvious ..
Suing the police is so dishonorable. I’d never sue the police no matter what and mind you I’m a thug. I swear. Lastly, what Vanessa Bryant did (suing firefighters) is literally the last thing I’d ever do in life. A firefighter could kick me in the face for no reason and I wouldn’t sue them; they’re firefighters. Feel me? I’ve never helped anyone in my life and I never will, so firefighters can do no wrong.
