#NBCNews #Mississippi #Police
I’ll sue those cops for everything they got. Some of these cops are too trigger happy
You can’t sue the cop, the money will be paid by the taxpayers of a lawsuit is won.
I’m so happy he’s okish, or still here at least.
This is a sick world we live in an ex-military shot my son and almost killed him last June had 5 long surgeries to save his life. He has permanent nerve damage and PTSD and may not be able to have any more children. Shooter has no remorse and threatened cops, Swat and hostage negotiator he felt homicidal! UCCS reported he enrolled few months ago. They were reporting he was gonna be another mass killer in Colorado Springs CO! PRAY WITH ME HE NEVER GETS OUT!
I’m sorry to hear that.
@Caleb Junious Thank you
What the heck! Praise God that this boy survived. Prayers for him and his family.
My God! This has me balling my eyes out! Thank you Jesus this boy lived. May God continue to have his hand of protection over the boy and his family.
95 % when you hear stuff like that a white cop worth the corporate
That is unacceptable I better off taking care of your problems on your own if not you end up risking getting shot by police when they show and they act like nothing happened just another normal day they get put on paid vacation and they come back to work in a week they need to step up real quick before they end up with another like when George Floyd was was murdered and there’s City gets full of protesters civil unrest riots in the streets obviously the first protest of George Floyd didn’t work because they’re still doing hiding behind their qualified immunity like the cowards they are open and games until I have to take responsibility for their actions I say that should be taken responsibility for their actions from the get-go and they should not commit crimes while wearing their badge and and disgracing their constituents and fellow citizens cops lives do not matter more than the equal your badge and gun doesn’t mean s*** you are not granted extra rights you are the same as everybody else and should be held responsible just like everybody
floyd died from an overdose
Something is being left out of this story.. why were they all ordered out of the house? Why did the boy have to call police? What was the reason given for shooting the boy?
The media is purposely inflaming this, but why?
I bet that cop feels awful.
Lost my son to gun violence January 6th 2023 and to see this eleven year old survive that 🙏🙏🙏
Let’s just keep stirring things up NBC good job liberal media
how do you shoot an innocent eleven year old ?? you ordered everyone out of the home & just decide to shoot as a young boy who’s not even five feet comes around the corner ?? there’s no reason the body cam footage shouldn’t be released
Time to take the firearms from the police it’s going to far how police act now days this is heartbreaking
Well there should be an automatic prison sentence, fake law enforcement.
Lol
This kid is gonna grow up being afraid of cops now literally gonna have major PTSD whether he consciously wants to be afraid of them or not
Why are people this denied? You can’t just demand body cam or whatever you want from police after a shooting. You wait for the investigation like everybody else in the country.
They can demand what they want. This is what taxes pay for and you sound like a very old person sir with that Wait like everybody else in the country😂😂😂😂 it is a City 😊😂😂😂
@Johnny Hughes taxes don’t pay for the right to footage that nobody even has to release. They could keep it internal forever and that wouldn’t be against policy.
Everyone else in the country who has to wait for police footage… dumb
Shoot an unarmed child they can demand any they want!!
Thank god he lived
This funky whale put that boy in a domestic violence situation, got him shot and now she’s collecting a check….with her chin held high….and a head full of another humans hair…And we wonder why the youth is horrible.
Not everyone wonders. Some people know.
Lol rekt bruh, str8 pwnd liek a nub
Poor baby. God bless him
How is this young guy gonna look at the police from here on out?? This is just miserable. Im so glad he’s gonna be ok. Administrative leave! He shot a child!😢
Charge the toxic baby father too
Time for Black people to fight back.
This is why we don’t call these people. Mama needs to get her house in order. There not here to protect and serve us never have been never will be.
I think they should burn their own neighborhood down again. In a fiery but mostly peaceful protest hahahahaha
omg who still calls the police in 2023..🤦🏾♂️
Looks like cops have a tendency to shoot people who call them up.
WTH????.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬! THAT MAKES ME SICK! SOME COPS ARE NOT WORTHY OF BEING CALLED A COP , MORE LIKE A PIG!!!!!! ON A POWER TRIP!, I’M SO SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU HONEY, GOD BLESS YOU SWEETIE!
The mother is the reason her son is shot and in the position in the first place dealing with a loser boyfriend! She placed her child under those circumstances.
Bless your heart. You really need to educate yourself on the realities of domestic violence.
@Deidre Westover This wasn’t the first time this has happened I’m sure but the mother continues to STAY endangering her children!
@Jessica Johnsonmaybe the dangerous situation… was why she asked her to son to call the cops
Are you serious. Why don’t police have stun gun or non lethal weapons. Thats just not acceptable on a domestic call. Really.
Like always everyone is judging the cop before all of the evidence is out.
I’m genuinely curious as to what circumstance or context could make this excusable in your mind
@Isa Nobody said it was excusable if the cop did something wrong. Evidence will show the facts. Wouldn’t you want the same for yourself?
👍👏🇺🇸
Pigs need penitentiary time..child abusers!
Glade he’s alive. There’s a lot more to this story
Glad I don’t live in the USA
Killer cops are bombarding my news feed
Doesn’t make sense that cops see black as their enemy.
Let’s see the video
Oh no now he won’t trust a police officer. Glad he’s okay
If they dont charge the officer with a hate crime then idk how much more privileged you can get.
the officer was black
Can’t call Black lives matter😮
Why should people call the police anymore they just shoot you
He called for help
Now he’s going to need so much help support and counseling 😢God bless that little boy and his family
This has to stop police officers are not supposed to shot you in your own home unarmed!!!!
Here we go again. Killed while dark brown with a phone, subway sandwich, crossing the road…
America where a dark brown man sleeping in a car is shot 16 times by police but a pink man waving a hammer is asked to put it down.
Where a pink intruder breaks into someone’s house, falls asleep in someone’s bed and is gently awakened by police and asked to leave.
A global response to America’s human rights abuses is well overdue.
Wow man…….poor training and screening testing in that pd… show the footage to the world now pigs
He’s such a handsome little man, & I thank Jesus he lived. But how does an officer mess up that bad? My son is the same age. I can’t imagine such an awful situation.
coming soon across a merica… Cee Ville W ar 2.0
Typical 🐷 behavior
By the picture I don’t trust the little jogger
Get that young boy paid 💰 💰 💰 wait til that settlement check hits !!!
Impeach Biden immediately
Go outside.
Yawn
If you are black, you have to think twice before calling 911.
Media continues it’s anti police agenda
Qualified immunity and we investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing.
Lady, you got your son shot!!
Y’all were up at 4:43 am having a domestic dispute?
She forced the cop to shoot a little kid, you just cracked the case!
It’s the mother’s fault for calling gun carrying thugs for help.
This cop definitely knew that was a child. He/she needs to be charged with maximum charges there hiding the officers name because there guilty of this crime. Someone release the officer name .
WTAF! Indianola police are cowards by not even making a comment
This is insanity
” Paid Administrative Leave.” 😝 ain’t they called the vacation.. SMH
I’m sure there’s a perfect Logical explanation for the shooting. Not.
you filthy news people could turn any little mistake into hate motivated actions…… smfh…NBC News💩💩💩💩👿👿👿👿
Shooting a kid is not “any little mistake”
@Isa you know the officer was black too
Too bad the police as a whole are a worthless group of cowards, you will never see them rushing into a burning building or putting their life on the line
Ironically cops will be so confused when he grows up to not like or trust police.
Hate all police
Until law enforcement fixes their problems, they will continue to self inflict their defunding.. by getting sued.
If the police did this more often maybe america wouldn’t be falling apart… its sure better than letting parasites destroy everything.
PrOtEcT & sErVe
It was an accident. think of it this way, kid took one for the team!
Even if he was a Bad kid Don’t mean He Deserves to be Shot.🤴🏻
At least they’ll be millionaires now.
Police shoots boy, police not charge, family sues, nothing changes, rinse and repeat 😂
“No lettuce, just cheese”
We already know…..after further investigation we found the officer did not violate police procedures 🤡🤡
Sharp lawyer, so if he had asked to have been shot? Then they wouldn’t or would have shot him? Reverse psychology huh?
Just lost for words only to say ALL PRAISES TO YAHUWAH(GOD) in HIS HOLY SON YAHUSHUA(Who You ignorantly call Jesus) The brave Lil’ Man is alive & well.
Lets see the body cam before judging
Yeah let’s see an 11 year old get shot before we judge the stupidity of this.
Where are all the racist trolls that’s going to bring up things like he had a criminal record , why blacks people put themselves in situations like this ? They make up all the excuses in the world to avoid the facts or deny it
Nothing good can come from calling the police. Especially for black and brown people.
Especially with black officers
@Consolelivesmatter What a stupid comment.
Burn Mississippi burn🤬🤬🤬
Grazed better word. The mama was to lazy to call police, every knows a black lady always has phone in there hand.
Are you seriously trying to blame the mother for the cop shooting him???
If anyone is surprised don’t be. Police routinely ‘fear for their safety’ when they see their own shadow. This isn’t a ‘bad apple’. This is absolutely common.
And of course they won’t release the body cam. Police unions will protect this horrible human being to the point of making the child look like a criminal
Shoot first, hide facts later. They call it the Fraternal Order of Police. I call it fascism.
God bless this young man! I can’t believe this happened! An 11 year old child, who called police for help, and when they arrived and called for people to come and he did, they shot him? These are dark days…
Glad he is ok. But can’t help but be amazed at how this was initially played as a black kid shot by another racist white cop. Then we find out it was a black cop. Headlines had to be changed.
Never herd that angle. All I’ve ever heard was that, of course cops shot an innocent 11 year old. And that’s it.
Oh brother they jus can’t getta break can they ? I wonder whose too blame for all this beside the concerned neighbors n the crazy jealous ex that can’t take a hint hmm ❤💔
acab
We keep holding signs talking about no justice no peace and that is not doing anything. Consequences need to be set forth for what happen to that child.
Consequences will come.
slave patrol gonna slave patrol.
that will teach the kid not to ask for help.
Shot because he called the pigs over a domestic violence situation with one of his mother’s baby daddies. LET THAT SINK IN. How many sperm donors does she have 🤷🏿♂️
“Just comply”
Thank god hes alive time to get paid and justice
Hold up? Why are we not putting blame on the black mother for having multiple kids with different men. I am sure that baby mother is just as crazy as the men she deals with and it caused a situation so bad her son got shot as an innocent bystander. The police do in fact get it wrong sometimes but it doesn’t excuse the situation these black mothers pur their kids through.
They will justify the shooting of that kid becuz he’s BLACK! I PRAY for the family and hope they SUE that sick killer for💰 MILLIONS!!! 🤬🤬💩💩💩👮♂️💩💩🤬🤬
Man those signs ain’t working my blk ppl. That kid will never trust a cop
How low can USeless go?
