You film because that's how you prove that injustice took place, if she didn't film, then no one would give any credibility to her story. Also, she's likely in shock, and a man who just gunned down and killed her boyfriend has a gun aimed in her general direction. That was not the time to break down and become irrationally emotional.

So you act so racionally, yet you grab your mobile phone to film yourself after somebody was killed for reaching a gun? I'm not dumb to think that man wasn't killed and that it wasn't the policeman who did it (probably). I just refuse to believe how that happened just "because she said so". I think it was rather "hands up", no response, "drop the gun", no response, shooting.

And don't be so impolite and rude to me, you weren't there, and if you are not willing to discuss things on a discussion forum, you probably should exit.

So literally every psycho and toddler can become a police officer in the States? I'm so disgusted and I truly feel horrible for the black community and every minority over there, losing their lives because some racist pigs can't control their fears and feelings. ****!

[Brando]

Disgusting.. I can't watch stuff like that.... I'll be sad for the rest of the day... that poor boy bleeding there for nothing...

[Same Ol' Mistakes]

What the **** I don't want to watch this video tbh. It's disgusting. RIP regardless

Did you see the social experiment of a black guy walking down the street with a rifle on his back (open carry state) and a white guy doing the same thing. Multiple cop cars surrounded the black guy, were ready to shoot him, and forced him into the ground. The white guy just walked like normal, no one blinked an eye. White people can carry their guns into malls and no one cares, black people do it and risk their lives.

I didn't watch the video, I'm just sick of this already. Makes me scared for my brother and future sons. How are brown and black people expected to trust the police when you hire a bunch of incompetent KKK members who piss their pants at the site of melanin.

Is this true? That's terrifying..

US police need a major overhaul, they're far too trigger happy and black people are far too often on the end of it. It's really sad how we get a new story like this basically every week.

On the other hand, who the hell starts filming when their partner is killed? Why is she so calm? She really does not appear to be credible, don't you think?

Being calm can be a form of shock, people do all kinds of things when they just witnessed something so terrifying. Some people cry, some people go mad, some people turn very calm. I also saw some footage from people from the terrorist attack in Paris and they reacted very calmy and gave an interview to the reporters, a half hour later when he slowly came out of the shock and realised what he witnessed he began to cry like a little baby. Every individual reacts different to something like that, some people can just go on like nothing happen, and once the reality kicks in, they will grief and realise what they experiences/witnessed.

This **** is getting out of hand. I need some A-list celebrities to start talking about this and bring all the attention to this problem.

[cloudinthesky]

I can't take this anymore. I'm legit scared out of my mind to go anywhere and even seeing a cop now makes me terrified for my life. I feel like they can literally arrest me for anything and gun me down without a single consequence. And to make it worse: there will be no justice. People will trend me on Twitter, I'll get an article about me on the HuffPost and Fox News, BLM will protest for a few days, white people will say "I feel so sorry for his family and the black community" and I'll be forgotten in a week.

It's disgusting. I hate being black in the US. It's becoming a death sentence. It's exhausting. If I ever have kids, I REFUSE to raise them in this country. I will not subject them to this. I want to move to Canada or lock myself up in a cabin in Iceland or something. Like seriously, congratulations white America, you win. You can have this godforsaken country, it's not even worth it.

[Buyonce1814]

They handcuffed a 4 year old girl? What the actual ****? These white cops need to stop.

[Rihbeyga]

You don't tell them you have a gun. They kill you

You tell them you have a gun for fear of being shot if they find one on you.
They kill you

You have a gun illegally
They kill you

You have a gun legally
They kill you.

I'm done with the land of the free (but some are more free than others based on factors one can't control. Such as race and sex)

[ivi]

i'm lost for words. heartbreaking. but watch the cop not getting anything.

[!Blue!]

This is so tiring ..
RIP Philando

[Opacho]

I just saw the video and poor guy poor that girl, the way she screamed. Jesus christ, literal chills. The way the cop was acting was insane though, who let him hold a gun.

[Damien M]

How much can black people take in this freaking country.
Jesus Christ.
And who in their right mind would hire such a clearly mentally unstable cop?

[A Little Unruly]

This honestly just made my heart ache so bad. Wow.

I pray that psycho waste of flesh of an officer won't have another happy day in this life.

Just looking at the way these idiot bitches are handling this situation makes me sick to my stomach. Pointing a gun at a man who's sitting there bleeding to death. Several officers pointing guns at his girlfriend, making her get on the floor, handcuffing her. I am just glad she made the video or otherwise they would've probably spun it like he was trying to reach for his gun.

He was so handsome and cute as well.

[B'Day]

I feel sick honestly.

In this and Alton's shooting, the "****" is very telling. I wonder if these two are more racially motivated or just police officers being too quick to judge and fearful for their life.

It's all racially motivated. It has nothing to do with them being scared.

[Changes]

Why isn't something being done about the police and their aggressive force? That sensitivity training ******** is clearly not working. Something major needs to be done.

[keshaspearsxo]

I can't with these police officers and these guns... Something needs to be done. Racism is so alive and they can't keep using these "he had a gun" excuses for killing people

They need to start taking their jobs more serious. A police officers job is not to control and order people, it is to serve people and keep people safe, not kill them. A police officer should be more willing to have their life taken than to take lives, as explained by that female police officer's video, that's not what their position is for. So backwards
