#florida #police #gunviolenceawareness
Officers mowed down in the streets of Florida. On the bright side, they were exposed neither to CRT or Transsexual Story Time.
True 👍
The shooter was, that’s what motivated him.
Desantis has a great state of hill billies
@Patrick Droney thank you for catching that.
@Anthony PenaWhat state are you from?
What state are you from? Wannabe 🌮Boy!
@Appalachian Patriot 🇺🇸 State of confusion ?
, now do N.Y., Jersey, California, Killadelphia. 😅
Violent jails make people like that year after year.
People like that are violent when they get IN the jails, Slick.
Love ❤
Poor Disney so much bad publicity from Florida with all that beautiful land very sad
“Poor Disney” you forgot to add “the kid groomers.”
@G A Smith sad
Will love seeing Disney tell floriduuuh later gators. Boom, 500k jobs history, floriduuuh real estate timberrrr’s, floriduuuh goes BK.
Coming to a theater near you soon.
@Sheila Cartertrigger more
@W Awow did you have a stroke? I hope you did traitor.
Good Chief and a happy ending. Get well, officers.
Well said
Why not show their names and faces
Don’t wanna stir up the natives right now.
I pray that the officers are okay. Stay safe and watch your six my brothers and sisters in Blue 🙏💙
😂 this video was about the cop dying, so I don’t think they’re ok 🤔
No amount of useless prayer to your imaginary friend is gonna help anyone
Amen Amen Amen 🙏
I thank these officers for stepping up. We wish you well. And our thoughts and prayers.
They didn’t step up it’s a job. It’s a paycheck. They do it for a paycheck. Military yea I give them the thanks. But police. Nahhhh lol. We hire to many idiots in our department there is no way they doing it o it if their heart lol. Trust me.
I’d like to thank you for that stellar profile picture of you in your “marble holder”.
@Cloudfound the career criminal failure
I’m usually pro ACAB but I like the ending here
Bro tried taking one for the team 🙌
I hope you mean the brother and not the cops.
DeSantis 2024.
Maybe 2028. He should have waited.
Go go boots meatball ron is HISTORY. That putz will be ousted by his own soon enough.
@W A Ousted? How?
*Officials say *that *the suspect in *the shooting of two Florida police *officers is dead
Jesus, news networks need to rehire editing teams.
Cops are a piece of crap too, Chief Smith!
A lot of police officers are crap also, that don’t deserve to ware a badge and gun!!!!
These got it right though.
Two man shot , suspect dead in less than 24hours , i wish every case worked this fast and efficient
if it’s police involved it will, but like Uvalde and grade school kids then officers safety is paramount
@Michael Musson You DO have a point !!!
@Shang Hunter unfortunately this shameful response effects me in particular cause I never thought this would ever happen in my state Texas
Rot in Hail.
A lot of hate for Florida and it governor. As a Florida resident the biggest issue we have is with invasive species. Especially the human ones.
So, you are denying his election? So, this is another insurrection?
Now that we have identified you as a member of the invasive IGNORAMUS specie, please try to explain with your limited intellect what your comment has to do with the topic at hand? 😂🤡🫵🏼
Florida is a rednecks paradise… 🤣
Defund the police. I don’t need tyrants to protect me.
😂🤣😂🤣
Perfect
GOOD RIDDANCE!!!!!!!!!!!🌎
1312
The cops will keep killing us for no reason
They had reason
One less Biden voter! 😂 👍
Try again bubba…notice floriduuuh? Most deranged chumpers reside in the HATE STATE vlad.
Don’t bet on it ,he’ll probably still vote democrat in the general election .
@jon true!
Who write headline no good!
They chose death over prison because they know what it’s like.
🙏💙
I wish San Francisco police officers had the same balls
San Francisco police love balls. Didn’t someone tell you ?
The trash took itself out saving taxpayer dollars. Yay! 🎉
Whos the dude in the red shirt and large glasses?
That’s the new windshield glasses with automatic wiper blades from E bay probably 🤓
Great job PD! Where I live the local politicians & governor would be demanding an investigation as to why the perp-shooter was not first offered anger management counseling with years of holistic therapy with immediate bail so he/she could escape out of state.
That’s funny.
Must be from the south, you from florida?
@j jdelany81Sounds more like NY
@j jdelany81 most likely California I take it you don’t like DeSantis with your asinine comment.
Russian bot.
My thoughts and prayers are with them police officers. Thank you for your service. Hope for a quick recovery. 💙🙏.
Shouldn’t have ended any other way. That goes for all criminals
There ARE THOUSANDS of CRIMINAL officers throughout our lovely nation too……Just saying, before you get too comfortable in your logic. Best wishes now
@Shang Hunter my statement includes all criminal public servants. It just so happens there are more civilian criminals thugs, dont be mad if you’re one.
@Shang Hunterzero proof try again coward
Why is that woman wearing goggles?
Lol she’s wearing one ( Huge ) windshield !
Monkeys need their guns controlled it sounds like to me
*FLORIDA MAN* everyday somewhere on YT. LOL
BLACK MAN everyday somewhere on TV. LOL
Lots of bad cops in Florida. Wonder what they did this time.
Where do you see bad cops?
Nothing much..just took out the Garbage😎
What they were supposed to do.
Found the career criminal as there are no “bad” cops
Gotta go to actual NEWS sources to see the video.
We know the race of the suspect without them telling us.
The Media, City officials, etc, are corrupt.
These gang on gang shoot outs have to stop. 😂😂
Lester Holt is some type of alien… I’m sure of it. Is that his hair or a Yamaka?
“Well….bye.”
‘Tombstone’
What did u think they would let him live???😂😂😂
They let Markied lloyd live but sentenced him to death. Same state
desatans Florida is bad run
You bad English typing no
Found the liberal
@DarrinCrose just their grammar is enough to identify them.
Self defense
Save tax dollars with having to deal with the perpetrator.
I’m sorry to say, being a Christian, not believing in capital punishment! …. They are human beings in these earth. They don’t deserve even the air that they breathe.. 😢..
@Ellie Rivera2 REPLIES
If this was nypd I wouldn’t give af but the officers in Florida are law abiding n respect the constitution sorry 2 hear about this
SENDING PRAYERS FOR THE OFFICERS FAMILIES🙏🙏💕💕 FROM 🇨🇦
Funny how the piece of crap is dead.
Great job! Love the way Chief Smith didn’t mince words and they eliminated this piece of crap that didn’t want to go back to prison, saving FL untold $$’s to keep this piece of crap alive!
A piece of crap!!!
I love that statement.
January 6th
I love how trump triggers you traitorous failures
I am so sorry about what happened. But amI the only who watched this and said, “Her glasses crooked.”?
LET’S ALL CALL THE SUSPECT ‘A PIECE OF CRAP’ SHOOTING TO PROTECT HIMSELF THEN THEY END HIS LIFE WHILE DONALD TRUMP IS FACING 78 FELONIES CHARGERS WITH NO PRISON TIME???? 🤦🤦🤦🤦 STOP VOTING!!!!
Didn’t come here to complain about politics since everything I believe is right and everything you believe is wrong. Just came here to ask who the flip wrote that brain aneurysm of a title?
Thank you officer!
I love how Donald Trump triggers your emotions— its like he’s your master.
I see your tds lives rent free traitor
@DarrinCrose tell ya what…i’ll fight you in a parking lot….tell me when and where.
It don’t take much to get them all pissy
Sorry but that is part of the territory…occupational hazards… just like joining the military 🤷♀️stop whining.. if you can’t handle the heat…get out of the kitchen… INNOCENT PEOPLE DIE EVERY DAY AT THE HANDS OF OUR POLICE …WHO ARE …SUPPOSED TO…PROTECT US… sad 😢 joke 😢
Citation needed.
How many ‘innocent’ people are actually killed everyday by police in comparison with actual criminals?
Listening to this with suspicion. Do we still take their descriptions of the situation at face value?
Even CNN reported it this way.
“The suspect is deceased.” I love a happy ending.
My only question…..how many holes in the suspect?
Excellent law enforcement work.
Great news! Don’t play in Florida where law enforcement has the authority to do their jobs! I’m sure he’s 🔥🔥🔥 now!
Good news and great job officers! Hope your injured officers heal quickly🙏🏻
My thoughts are with the officers I hope you are well … what did you expect when you made it so easy for anyone to get and carry a gun?
It was a stolen firearm you failure. Try reading the constitution as my rights trump your fears.
NICE GLASSES!!!
I agree 100% with the Chief, I’m keeping those officers in my prayers 🙏.
Taxpayers money saved One democrat vote lost

Good. Not going to shed a tear for this future scholar.
Who writes the titles for these videos, an AI? Or some immigrant because you’re not willing to pay somebody a liveable wage?
Protect the community 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅Racist state😅😅😅😅😅😅
Good words chief 👏🏻
I’m sure it’ll end up being the police’s fault somehow.
*Even with the bad economic, My life has totally changed since I started with $5,000 and now I make $68,700 every 14days, I can afford any car or house of my choice right now….,God bless expert Mrs Laura Ashley*
Nice❤️❤️ God bless Expert Mrs Laura Ashley White for all Good works. We need such a person in the society
@Emmy Brownscammer
@Morgana Amandashe can’t you’re part of a mlm scam and you too are being scammed as you try to scam others. 😂😂😂😂
Yeah right. SCAM.
Seize the moment, and distract from reality. Where did you come from & how did you pay for your boat ride here
Excellent result. Prayers for both officers and their speedy recovery.
POC… yes !
u Ronnie the Racist Runt backing Floriduh in-breds are highly entertaining…
Yawn 🙄 dont care. Most cops are criminal thugs with badges and guns. End qualified immunity and maybe ill start caring about them.
Black people things
And in other news.
GUNS FOR EVERYONE IN FLORIDA!!! No background check, no license!!!! What could go wrong? 🤓
Jeeez man, so nobody could help the lady straighten her glasses? You idiots just watched her walking around like that? Gain some perspective, please.
