    Shooting into a crowd? Lock em up.
  • If that's "protecting the community" who's going to save this community from being "protected".
  • 5 months later? ... shooting into a crowd? ... the two teens, as well as the three officers, all fired indiscriminately, so all should be held accountable for this girls death, and any other casualties of their combined recklessness ... if you can't identify your target, and innocents are in the line of fire, you can't shoot, period.
  • @vincetina3230
    Charge the 2 teens too, because if they were not shooting at each other then the cops wouldn't have no reason to shoot.
  • This is disgusting. They murdered this 8 year old girl and traumatized not only the people they shot at but the community as well. I'm so terribly sorry ❤
  • @jaye31

  • @JDiaz143

  • @thekaerichtexas
    Firing towards a crowd? Why would u do that. Not only should they be fired, they should be speed personally why is this even a question.
  • @MG-jj3pn
    They were careless

  • Stop the gun violence, if not for ourselves, for the children, do it for the children, do it for the future!
  • @ficalli4743
    Poor little girl and his family. If the two teens wouldn't have been shooting at each other, none of this would have happened. Tired of the increasing violence/
  • @StaggerLee68
    A temporary paid administrative leave and a stern reprimand will be a brutal punishment for these three cops.
  • @aprilwycherley
    Beautiful little angel! I’m so sorry for her family’s loss!! I can’t imagine what they’re going through!!!
  • @saratlast3079
    Withdrawal of charges of the teens that did wrong to begin with? Wtf? Penalize the cops? Cmonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
  • @oldsagejoe
    Trigger happy cops need to be held accountable for their hasty indiscretions.
  • @BossQueen
    They should get 25 to life each, period. No excuses. Just accountability and justice.
