GOP Prosecutor FOLDS To WOKE Mob! Charges Police Officer With 2nd Degree Murder Of Patrick Loyola!!

comments on youtube

Noticing that one guy that "says" he is innocent until proven guilty, but then advocates for a guilty until proven innocent style pressure.

the problem here is even if the officer isn't convicted his law enforcement career is over. he is done as a cop.

They have been "calling for accountability".......you know....not for the criminal who fkkn RAN AWAY, RESISTED ARREST, FOUGHT THE OFFICER and TRIED TO GRAB THE OFFICER'S WEAPON, but for the police officer who was trying to do his JOB.

I'll agree, him getting shot in the head was horrific. It was so disturbing it made me cry, but that man put HIMSELF in that position with all his fuckery.

What kind of message does this send to these criminals that consistently resist arrest and fight the officers….These people wanting this officer charged are part of the bigger problem….teach these broken individuals accountability instead of victimhood.

This is going to ruin this country, what person in their right mind would want to be a police officer when you will likely be charged with murder for defending your own life!

This is unbelieveable. Look, if you grab an officers taser while struggling with him on the ground and that officer fears that you may gain control of that taser he MUST move to lethal means to ensure that the combatant doesn't tase him and then take his gun off him and kill him with it. The people making these decision for the police officers that are put in these extraordinary situations have a COLOSSOL lack of understanding of why they make the decisions they do while under pressure. If we don't start standing up for these officers we're going to find ourselves without a police force and the beginning of an even more lawless society than we already have. This is mission critical!!Show less

its only a matter of time before cops stop responding to black callers

The prosecutor is a coward but more importantly we have lost our moral compass,  now once again police are going to say it's not worth it and crime increases even more!!

As a life long grand rapids resident who went to 8 different schools I can tell you the liberal white guilt is crazy. So much racism towards whites. I was jumped several times simply for being white in the wrong neighborhood. Or the only white kid on the 8th grade youth center basketball team . Told the cops who run it the next day and they didn't care at all so I quit and said you can tell the coach why I'm not at practice and threw my I.D. in his face and never went back... I was never so proud to have made a team and looking back feel sick about it.Show less

Lets hope this doesnt go the Floyd route where a innocent man in convicted of a crime he didnt commit. Lets instead hope this goes the Rittenhouse route and he is found innocent and sues EVERYONE who lied about the case. I believe he deserves a early retirement for making the world a better place.

anyone who tries to claim that the cop shouldnt have chased after the perp  o that the cop chasing the perp means he loses the self defense argument has no respect or value of life if the perp manages to escape it would lead to them committing another crime and hurting someone else  

he is an officer of the law he is supposed to chase after the perp who runs away  to arrest them   he isnt responsible if the perp escalates
