Atrocious
Murder and cover-up. A lot of the officers involved need to be arrested and convicted.
Early reports said she was also shooting at the police with her dad. Is there no follow up on this claim?
When they first chased his car there were shots while they were flooring it, which is the only thing that made them think. But they have no real other angles or anything to confirm it.
They said they are not sure now who was shooting.
Doesn’t matter. She was unarmed and following commands when they shot her.
>Early reports said she was also shooting at the police with her dad.
But police was unable to proove it so far I know. And single gun was recovered from her father. I gues police lied as usual.
They also said that she was wearing a vest and helmet
It would have been better if the cops didn’t get involved
Why did it take 2 years? Because the cops effed up.
Cos election in 2024. Not 2022 🤷♀
Midterms were in 2022. Stop making it into something it isn’t. @@delta_glider4362
They probably hoped people would forget.
To cover their tracks and get stories together.
This is what they call transparency! This is what they call transparency! Calling the gun happy police is a death sentence in America!
She did everything they said and they killed her for it. How long does it take murderers with badges to get charged?
Did the cops get charged with Murder?
Of course not. They waited two years to show this to video, now not sure who was shooting at them.
@@stephaniejames4940 thats really messed up, those cops murdered that poor girl… and they get to walk free…. WOW!
No
This is so messed up!!! Gun happy cops in LA? 😮crazy
Mistakes were made. Tragic.
Out of control #ACAB
Heart breaking 💔
Truly sad 😢
I have no idea how they messed that up so badly. Every deputy who fired their gun needs to be held accountable for that girls death.
The reporterettes in that “news” piece didn’t say who murdered the girl … but I suppose their silence essentially identifies one or more cops as the murderer.
this is obvious law enforcement incompetence.
To be a cop,all you have to be is stupid! 🥺
Let’s face it, officers will not be charged for this, 90% of the time they dont officer safety overrules your rights and life
Remember when the police lied about this?
Yep the said she helped her dad shot at the cops
@@melizq1266Jesus
Calling the gun happy police is a death sentence in America!
The police were trained by the IDF , no seriously look it up
More American police trained by the Israeli military! We are all Palestinians now!
Thank Biden
@@rodgerwoods4971This is not Biden’s fault! American police have been trained by the Israeli military for decades now.
If it isn’t one thing, its another….
Anything to keep people’s emotions in a uproar….
“Only the cops should have guns.”
Said no one ever. Just better regulation.
First of all this segment is misleading. The whole scene was chaotic. What everyone is missing out on is that the father was in a shootout with surrounding law enforcement. If you watch the whole video you can see gun shots everywhere. Stop blaming all police officers only because of of them allegedly fired a shot in a chaotic situation striking the hostage.
If the investigation will show that one or more officers did wrong they will be held accountable.
I hate these garbage news blaming all our law enforcement and inciting hate and violence on police officers.
Wipe that boot polish from your chin.
All these cops must vote for Biden. That way they can get away with it.
You sound like someone who believes in fairy tales about a big man in the sky and a mean red man with horns underground
🐑 ✝️ 🐑
So tragic. Idiots….
So this is what terrorists in blue look like.
Whoever fired those shots needs to be in prison.
But shes not black
@@cliffordduzz4342your point?
no need to work together as a team. AMERICANS can do ANYTHING solo
Caught in a crossfire by over eager trigger happy cops
Safer At Home
Law Enforcement does what Law Enforcement does. And it’s not Law Enforcement. It’s repeated murder.
Out of all shootings cop or cops in this one need to be charged.
And family of girl need to sued period.
The girl is following instructions while on her knees getting shot and murdered????????
This is low.
Tough break, for sure, but her father is responsible for her death. Of course it wouldnt be “news” if the lib/dems didnt armchair LEO’s at every turn.
Why would they shoot when they told her to come to them she was probably so scared she didn’t know which way to go. This is so sad the stupidity of these cops to fire when the child hostage was moving towards them totally incompetence. The father is ultimately responsible and to blame he knew his child was moving towards the officers and he started shooting. R.I.P young lady 😢 so sad!
That’s what I thought, too. How do we know dad didn’t shoot her? I presume that’s been disproven.
@@isthatmymom6175The officer in the video says “No don’t shoot her” or “stop shooting her.”
THEY HELD THIS VIDEO FOR 2 YEARS BECAUSE 2 YEARS AGO COPS WERE BEING HEADHUNTED WHEN SOCIETY TURNED ON LAW ENFORMENT WITH THE,”DEFUND THE POLICE” MOVEMENT!!!!
Cops hide the video for as long as possible hoping the heat will die down.
Two years investigation and counting 😂 🤡 🤡 🤡
Trump’s fault 😭
OOOPS!!
TRIGGER HAPPY COPS!!
Cali cops the worsted
a whole family is dead, because of incompetence.
So he killed his ex because he’s incompetent?
@@herzfeldji I mean, probably. Murderers aren’t exactly the brightest bunch. Most become cops and you see how dumb they are.
Whats disturbing is what they are teaching your kids at school
We have the worst police on the planet!
defund the police
Obviously they didn’t want for the video to become available, it clearly shows that while 1 officer was trying to do the right and help the girl, 1 or more of the officers just saw a moving target as always, instead of paying attention to the instructions that one good officer was giving to the kidnapped girl. But hey, her death will be blamed on her father, no accountability will take place and instead it will get brushed away under the carpet, and those officers responsible for shooting her most likely will be awarded a medal, a pay increase, and more confirmation that they are untouchable.
No if the one cop wanted to protect the girl, he would run to her to shield her from cops. But he knew cops would continue blasting away.
Send those officers to prison
Sounds like a bunch of idiots yelling .Typical police officers confused and not obeying there procedures. Just make it up as you go.
Cold blooded Murder! They told her to come out and walk towards them. She did what they told her to and she was unarmed. Once she walked out towards them, they executed her, an unarmed teenaged girl. This is Murder!
The independent journalist requested this 18 months ago. It just now was released.
This is corrupt as it gets.
State sanctioned criminals get away with murder
Why now, what took so long.?
Stupid keystone cops
Sad that the police shot this young child. Again, police do not shoot white men or white women even when they are charging police.
Terrible 😞
They killed that girl, No? I know The System wont Punish Them, but I also know God and the Girls Spirit will….
I have been saying for years that Police training needs a complete overhaul and here is one more example of why. Clearly no, none, nada command and control, just a bunch of spazzed out cops…. just free lance cowboys.
Why didn’t those officers run to her and shield her with their bodies and all the armor that they are wearing how do they hire scary officers isn’t it an oath to protect and serve not yourselves! Poor Girl she probably was so scared my heart breaks for her to have last seen that she was running towards helpers that were too afraid to go out and shield her WE NEED TO DO BETTER !
Cops are not always savers look at the school shooting in Texas no one didn’t go show the kids in there they all watch him died.
Should be trillion dollar lawsuit
So Police shot a victim of a kidnap … what a shock .. they are just eager to shoot anything that moves ..
Two year old cover-up
At first the try to justify it by saying she was shooting at the cops but no video released and the boot licking sheep came to the defense
Today is like old west western. 🐎🤠
“Unarmed Hostage Murdered by Police while following their orders.”
Fixed your headline.
Any of y’all noticed that the NBC newscaster is not mentioning that the police shot her or even the fact that the dude in the video says stop shooting her and she never mentions that he says that they are avoiding this
From the get-go I never understood why she was told to run at cops during a firefight.
Some cops just love to shoot, no matter what the consequences! The only one in true danger was the girl, by cops as well as her father. Why didn’t they covertly follow until he had to stop somewhere. They could have distracted him, and lured the girl away!!!😢😢😢😢😢
These officers committed murder and they should be held accountable.
Republicans send their thoughts and prayers..
Only thoughts and prayers not solutions to gun violence..
This is what happens when an entity enjoys the benefit of investigating themselves. But, two years it’s taken the “Good ol Boy Network” to finally admit that they can’t keep this one buried. The end result will still be the same though, which will amount to one big nothing. Just gotta weather a little media attention. No big deal for law enforcement.
So many incompetent cops, so few consequences.
Under investigation? For WHAT?! It’s on f’n video. Steps were missed, the cops bungled communications, and they executed a kidnapped child, then hid it and concealed evidence. F’n lock them up. We won’t though.
Unrelated, why are depression and drug use rates so high? Hmm, we should probably fund an investigation into the obvious.
They will never be charged. Stupid police are always protected by the state because the state needs stupid cops.
Police murdered a kidnap victim who was following their orders
I’m not sure how anyone can defend the Police as an institution when this can not only happen, but then be lied about and covered up for years.
Unarmed, most likely crying, minority, of course american police unload all theor clips…🤷
If you get kidnapped don’t call the police, you have more chance of surviving with the kidnapper.
This is what they call transparency! They tried to bury the truth that calling the gun happy police to protect your children is a death sentence in America!
Really confused about why she was wearing tactical gear, it’s like we’re missing details even 2 years later
Cops from California are the worst in the country.
