    Whatever happened to a taser. She was no threat. That incident is disturbing. Talking about a mental issue. The officer is the one who had the mental issue as far as I'm concerned. There is no way that idiot passed a psych evaluation.
  • @DarylRodrigues
    The expert has not viewed the whole video. The officer ORDERED her to remove the pot from the stove, THAT IS THE ONLY reason she entered the kitchen area.
  • @audreymuzingo933
    Let's not just skip over the fact that he was at least 15 feet away from her. And YES he could have backed away if he really thought she might throw it. But she wasn't showing any threatening intent whatsoever, and those cops had no reason to be in her house following her around anyway!
  • @georgejetson9801
    he was so nasty and dismissive to her the entire time. he wasn't in any danger at all
  • If you need to be "TRAINED" on how to treat anyone like a human being, then maybe you're not human.
  • @5339kimhall
    They set her up. He told her to go to the stove.
  • @rrproductions8369
    An important missed point is that the police officer instructed her to remove the pot from the stove.
  • This absolutely sucks. She was ordered to go to the kitchen and take the water bottle off the stove. The name of Jesus is not a threat to shoot someone twice in the head and continue to curse her even after being dead. It’s a gruesome homicide and blatant disregard for human life and display of hatred.
  • @tove236
    There was no need for them to even be in her house.
  • @andreedye283
    He was Demonic she decern it and he only proved what she was experiencing and saw.This video is sickening!!!
  • @IndiesoulMusik
    Imagine, if she hadn't picked up the phone to call for help, she would be alive right now. A simple decision that you think is right, leads to your last day on earth. Totally unjustifiable.
  • @the_veil_
    They shouldn’t have went in her home in the first place.. I never heard the police even ask for any entrance.. and if the girl wanted to boil a pot of water in home, thats her business.
  • @farouk7336
    That Devil heard the name Jesus and lost it!
  • @andrelamarr7188
    I think he had no idea what ' i rebuke...' took it as a threat followed it with threat and then shot her
  • @darlenedowie52
    I agree with expert but this wasn't a training issue.
  • @theeoarsman921
    The cops had concluded their investigation so why did they enter her home?
  • @annmarierubbo4202
    The beast who killed Ms.Massey was an army veteran. I don't know if he was in combat. However, these Vets have PTSD and overreact to certain situations. I think the police departments should stop hiring Vets with PTSD. The beast shot first before trying to assess the situation. RIP Ms. Massey
  • @timestampz
    No ma'am I'll take it a step further. Are police trained to recognize the humanity of black people in underprivileged environments.
  • @Oneofakind123
    These people. Completely clueless. She was asked to move the pot of the stove. The cop who asked reacted with fear. The lady found that funny do the other cop shot her in the head. After shooting her in the head he yells DROP THE FUCKING POT!
