Do not allow John T. Williams death be in-vain how many will die,we have the right to bear arms, it is unconstitutional to change these laws.

This is murder affection and not by justice or law.
I can't believe it or think about this useless killing by a cop.
Those people must be arrested.
That's not normal, what the American Cops do...
Last time a private cop tried nearly a deaf, who think, he robbed in the Shop.
Now killing this man.
The politics must something do and not only words...
I can't find more words about the cops... :/

However, I am shocked and appealed at the extreme use of force that police are using everywhere in this country. There have been rising occurrences of police stupidity like this. It may be because these officers have been in situations that left them with PTSD which causes them to overreact to a situation that is NOT dangerous at all. Keep an eye on the officers in your area, and force them to have counseling if they are in an actually dangerous situation.

The veteran cops should stay with the rookies. Or should have 2 partners not one. I am very deeply support Indian in their land and respect Indian people. I love them in my heart forever. I pray for his family and friends. Cops should know better about Deaf and disabilities.
