why isn't there an outrage when a white man is killed by cops? theres only outrage when black people get killed
He shot at police.
This is the best in news??? He WAS ARMED. NO way for police to know he left his gun in the car. AND WHAT ABOUT THE SKI MASK??? Police don't SAY he fired at them, IT'S ON VIDEO!! IT looks like suicide by cop. Why don't you explore that possibility? Instead you repeat the obvious distortions of what happened. How about discussing the REASONABLENESS of how the police responded?
Unarmed??
Whatever happened to firing a warning shot or a non lethal shot?
Saints are black people treated like we are RUSSIANS. Psalm 82, sounded like the officers were at a gun range.
Kind of irresponsible for the news anchor to call him unarmed.
Human rights? Democracy?
Shoot how many times?
90, in his body.
Didn't he fire a gun at the police from his car before he ran. How would the police know he was unarmed. This will come out. He fired a weapon at police from his car. What do you expect will happen … They are going to fire back. 60 is to much. But they had a right to fire if he shot a weapon at police.
this is domestic terror yet no one will say it because it blacks AGAIN.yet white supremacy
is the number one threat to america????? i havent seen these white domestic terrorist burning down ANY City.burning any police stations yet thats who we should target as domestic terrorist.Some one explain tht logic!
GOOD COPS, PROMOTE THEM
I'm confused too. Why would someone where a covid mask that resembled a ski mask?
How about you report on the state of emergency at the border! STOP HIDING NEWS!!
The smile displayed on his pictures just shows a pleasant human being.
Only in US people get killed by authorities because traffic stops routines.
He got exactly what he asked for and deserved
Cops don't care how many times black people hold up signs asking for justice. Those signs accomplish nothing
more curfews on black people as always
He shot at cops, ran from cops, then jumped out of the car and ran with a ski mask on…. But “ohhh he was a nice boy”. now they’re all gonna riot claiming and innocent black kid was shot. State the facts, seriously.
This incident got me thinking a little bit. Don’t get me wrong. I believe blm. Maybe shooting Mr. Walker was a safe precaution at the time. We know now he was unarmed but what if the police didn’t know he was unarmed at that instant moment and thought that he either still had his gun or had another gun. A shot was fired from Walker’s car so you can’t expect the police to know in that moment he was unarmed. If the police knew he was unarmed before his death, than I’m not with that. Or if Mr. Walker was killed like George Floyd, than I’m definitely not with that.
Bet y’all don’t report on the yt guy shot by officers in almost the same circumstances

You constantly overlooked the crimes committed by black people against white people. And you think I'm supposed to care because of black criminal got shot.
ya need 8 killers,to go find 8 murders
Your son was a thug, that's what happened.
Where are the hearings and committee for the 2020 kamala floyd riots??
Outrage at firing at a man who was firing at them. People are ridiculous. Report that truth. Stop the racism crap. It doesn’t apply here.
Just a reminder to the women of Ohio ask your nearest republican if you want to do anything with your body you have a boss now and it is the republican you voted for.
The mothers of these communities continue to raise kids allowing them to be gangs bangers and do violent then complains for justice. What type of parenting is this??
Stupid choices , unfortunate consequences. It was lawful but awful
"I've never known him to raise his voice" but he shoots at people during a high speed chase.
A traffic violation that still can’t be clarified but we know he left the scene! Well, yea. He knew he was in danger. When you get pulled over for no reason you know statistically what happens to you if you are a black male.
The police in this story are not heroes and they are not victims either.
Wasn't there a firearm in the vehicle.?
He was wearing a balaclava how on earth this is race related baffles the mind. How about obey the law and don't run.
Those murdering cops shot at him 90 times, that's more than the July 4th park shooting at people.
Why in U.S.A you defende the criminal? From italy
A black young the mf its a thug the have no job and robs everybody he sees
It was justice. If u fire at cops u get shot. I'm not sure why they keep saying he was UN ARMED. And wtf did he think would happen.
Payton Gendron gets to face a judge after killing innocent folks in supermarket.
Polices Ben killing black men for last Hundred years.
Next thirty years white supremacy will be replaced buy Black and brown people who will put stop to the mess white supremacy created.
He didn’t help his case, but I just wonder why ZERO police shot at the people when they LITERALLY stormed the capital in washington DC🤷🏾♂️. If that had been black people, they would have been mowed down lol.
Ready for a war with these freaks , who Believe right is wrong, and wrong is right!!!!!!
Why do cops need to shoot a lot
This is pure evil this was nothing than war on black peoples by the system. the way they fired the bullets was pure evil and a way of hate..these animals should all be arrested immediately.This can't justify the police' or get these killers out of jail.. This was just a racist execution.
the whole world follow this country how racist and violent white cops are in this country and often get away with their criminal acts.is this the great america or the new nazi Germany,??
Watch the video he shot at the police it's undeniable. I was for justice and it seems that it was served was it Overkill completely but he caused it don't shoot at the police
Was he going skiing? No? Then, Why the ski mask?
Fleeing from police at high speed. Shooting a round out of his window. Gun found in his car by police wearing body cameras. All recorded. Doesn’t sound so good for the young man.
But then if you listen to his friends and family he was a saint. My lying eyes I just can’t trust them.
NBC is fake news.
They need to stop putting these incidents on the news; it just adds fuel to the fire (sometimes literally).
I'll bet a shiny nickel that pallets of bricks are being delivered right now to prepare for the riot … I mean, protest 🙃
