That cop had better be charged and jailed for the rest of his life.

Mf'ers murdering with impunity over a traffic stop. 😡

Give the cop solitary confinement for life.

Pretty sure he’s going to get a commendation from the commissioner and a sweet pension for life.

I really really hope someone gets the video of the stop released. That's the only way there's ever any accountability in these cases. Even then it can be an uphill battle.
