GBI: Officer's actions were justified in traffic stop, shooting 

When you are evading the law and trying to keep a low profile, most likely not a good idea to drive 72 in a 40 zone, but then again criminals don't use their brains most of the time.

Had the justice system performed its job, no lives would have been lost. He should have been behind bars long ago.

Feel so sorry for the officer and his family. The criminal will not hurt anyone else because the bravery of the officer.

STOP LETTING CRIMINALS OUT OF JAIL!!!!!!

Who let him out of jail? Whoever did should be held accountable for this man’s actions.

Another example of why our justice system needs to be completely overhauled. This guy was dangerous and should have been in prison. RIP to the officer.

Judges NEED to be prosecuted for official misconduct and complicity in cases like this.

Sorry the officer didn't make it. Prayers for him and his family.

The judge who let this criminal walk free needs to be prosecuted and sent to jail for negligence and incompetence. I'm so sick of hearing about judges making catastrophic mistakes and then receiving no punishment.

When are judges going to be held accountable for letting the killers go free to kill. Judges need to start being prosecuted for their actions.

R.I.P. officer. B.I.H. Dolce.

Rest In Peace officer Burson. Condolences to his family & friends. The thug should've been neutralized from society much sooner.

Can’t believe how reckless people who are wanted by the law are; if you’re driving anything you should be driving like a saint.

Prosecute the DA, Judge, whoever let this guy outside when he should've been behind bars already. The justice system is the reason this cop is dead.

When the ankle monitor was removed that is when the US Marshalls needed to handle the situation. Deepest sympathy for the family of the fallen officer. SAD very sad.

The judge who let this man out sat comfortably in a courtroom day after day while the officer who was killed put his life on the line day after day on the streets. There needs to be some accountability for these weak on crime judges.

Another cop killed trying to clean up the streets. Prayers for him and his family

Ultimately,the officer who died went above and beyond the call of duty.

My daddy taught me to Never turn your back on a black man never have never will

At the end of the day most police officers get called racist but imagine the shit they go thru every day in such a dangerous environment

man, it's so sad that the officer had to lose his life in all the chaos.

So horrific, the poor cop losing his life for some thug. RIP, thank you for your service.

The facts that the officers action were questioned and this guy wasn't in jail talks about how biased are judicial system is

In every case these people have already been in prison, and yet we let them out to do this again? Why are we so stupid?

Another good example of why a simple stop turns deadly, not because an officer is doing his job, but for the offender not complying with their directives and trying to evade arrest when they know they are in the wrong.

With his history and the other listed aggravating factors you have to wonder why he was given an ankle monitor. This was a failure of the system long before this incident.

If the cop is shooting how did he die? The car crash

I’m satisfied to see a sane comment section for once that is siding with an innocent cop over a guilty criminal. I’m sick of seeing comment sections that have the reverse.

God Bless that poor Officer and his family.

Condolences to the Officers family and friends.

The Justice system failed and the Sgt. failed his partner.

Imagine dying for weed

Bring back the death penalty, or start holding judges accountable for releasing early or giving soft punishment sentences ….this would stop immediately.

The judge that let that guy out of jail to start with should be tried for murder of the police officer and lock behind bars because it's his fault, such a shame the officer lost his life,

why am i forced to live amongst these people we are not allowed to criticize?

Descalation was needed.

This is why you should NEVER jump to a moving car with a fleeing suspect...

"Im on parole for robbery, wanted by the law, have an open domestic case and have pot in the car, I think I'll drive 30 mph over the speed limit."

And thats why you NEVER hang onto a person in a car or the car itself...

the judge should have to spend that time in prison

RIP to the officer. The world is better off without the other criminal.

Less evil in our street. Thank you and RIP, Officer ❤️

NY allowed a violent criminal to roam free, and it cost an officer in another state his life... smfh

Ouch... Thats sad... My condolences too the police officer who died in the line of duty...

This was the worst conveyed articulation of an incident I've ever heard. WHAT HAPPENED? And why was the video clipped where the criminal went back to his car?

RIP officer. Thank you for your service.

Legislation needs to be enacted to hold judges accountable in these situations.

Jumps in his car to go where? They don't think. They just react.

It's a huge shame that America has reduced it's integrity to the gangster culture. We're in a sad state of affairs. My condolences to the officer's family.

RIP Officer. Thank you for your service. Liberal DAs and “justice reform” is why this criminal was on the streets.

Having worked in LEO, I will say it agin, move out all the non violent offenders and make room for the violent dangerous people. This thug should not have been on the streets.

This cop should have never jumped in a moving vehicle all I had to do was let the guy call his mom

""some"" people do everything on impulse, not thinking if it's right or wrong, but pretty much knowing that they will just get a little slap on the hand.

Judges need to be accountable

poor officer just tryna do his job and make US a better place... It angers me how this ended for him. RIP Officer and hope his family lives happy and knowing how good of a guy he was :/

Condolences to the family of the officer killed in this incident.

POS No use to society🗣 RIP to the Officer🙏🏾 Prayers for his Family.

MMA fighter? That's dangerous. A known blood member? Dangerous. He got what he deserves.

For the people complaining about the previous judges not putting this guy in prison, the question is, where are they going to put him?

I don’t think cops should hold on to the car when the crook is driving away, I’ve heard of several cops who have died that way

But but, he was a good boy, he was going to college. Same ole crap with the 13%. They created their own stereotype. RIP officer.

Normal behavior for the 13 percent

The justice system really needs to hold criminals accountable and not release them. The judge who took it easy on that gang member needs to go visit the dead officer and apologize. Please judges are getting by with murder on both sides of the law.

Departments need to consider creating a policy that jumping into a moving vehicle is only justified under extreme conditions. I've always seen this as a risk officer's take that simply isn't worth it.

What did his department do? Investigate themselves?

Twitter blue checks: “Okay but, why did he have to shoot? Couldn’t he have just asked him nicely to stop?”

Just typical!!! Momma will say 'he was a good boy trying to turn his life around!!! WTFE!!!! SO TYPICAL!!!

Why do they skip the part where the officer enters the car

When you're wanting you don't drive 70 miles an hour in a 40 mile Lane. Not too bright Criminal

We have a problem in America and it isn't the police

I dont know why cops always reaching into moving vehicles..just live to make an arrest another day.

RIP officer. Thank you for making this world a better place.

More people carrying large amounts of weed and driving double the speed limit. Like how stupid are they?

This investigation would've taken me 1 minute. I was taught by smart parents to Never trust these people hats why I'm still here. THANKS MOM N DAD!

I'm 51 and I've ALWAYS told my friends "When you are breaking the law, don't break the law" Just like this guy. Drive at normal speeds.

Please please please to all rookies and future police officers, do not ever jump into a car of a fleeing suspect, this is a prime example why!!!!

As a Retired Circuit judge for the Southern District of New York I have read so many comments here about judges going easy on crime etc. Long ago judges were given guidelines for sentencing on misdemeanors and felonies for first time offenders, And then they introduced mandatory minimum sentences for repeat offenders and crimes that were heinous and depraved. Later they took all that away and took the discretion away from the bench and issued sentences without discretion meaning if a defendant commits crime a then he shall be sentenced to the state presumptive sentencing. Meaning the judge no longer has any discretion in handing down sentencing. The duty of the judge would be to make sure that the trial was conducted fairly and pursuant to the rules of jurisprudence. With a tremendous amount of political pressure from the civil rights organizations, Sentencing Black defendants had to be done with a great deal of sensitivity. In my opinion that changed everything because it became a revolving door system and the black defendant knew it and feared nothing because they knew they would not be held until their trial date, and more than likely unless they had a warrant when they were arrested or they were on probation when they were arrested they would be a “good” candidate according to the rules for being released on their own recognizance. I cannot tell you how many people are laying in their graves right now because their life was taken by someone who was out on their own recognizance! Some of the most vicious , heartless and remorseless criminals running around at night committing every possible crime that you can imagine are 12 to 14 year-old children who are hardened by living in a single parent home and never having any discipline whatsoever. The music they listen to glorifies selling drugs or robbing stealing raping and all types of horrendous bloody crimes! The black population in America is between 9 and 11%. That nine and 11% estimate commit approximately 71% of felonies and misdemeanors! People drive by a federal or a state correctional institution, and they see out on the field A Sea of black men ! And some of the younger generation today immediately remark that this is horrible terrible racism and all of these people were wrongly convicted by racist police and prosecutors. The United States of America has the most enviable and liberal justice system in the entire world! As soon as a person is arrested for a crime the first thing that happened is the government releases a large budget to defend that person from the charges he or she is about to be handed! At every corner at every turn the government supplies every possible means available to acquit the defendant! Other countries look at our system in disbelief! In nations like Iraq for instance, you are given a trial by prosecutors only! 85% of the time you will be found guilty. And your sentence will be carried out within 30 days if it is a death sentence! No appeals, no nothing.

Why does everyone assume that a cop is a expert at everything?

It would be nice if you would show the unedited version.

How this thug was on the street is beyond me. When you flee, you get what you deserve

Rest In Peace to the Officer, but Rest In Piss to the Killer that killed, the Officer.

Another African living in america...R.I.P. officer..thank you for your service

Why would you when you know your wanted drive 72mph in a 40 zone? His incredible recklessness cost him & a brave Officer his life as well incredibly needlessly! RIP Officer & thank for your service you gave it to protect us. 🙏

1. I'm shocked, I tell you shocked that the usual suspect did this. 2. If the usual suspect would have lived he would have received a life sentence (at the worst) and would have been out on parole after 7 years.

Fathers matter

That sergeant should be fired for his failure to act.

Still will never understand why these officers keep jumping in front of or in suspects cars. If they take off they take off, your life is not worth it.

Can't believe the officer would stand so close to a gnarly dude like that. Get back-up, block the dude's car in, then get him out of the car.

How the fuck would it of been unjustified?

The states should each invoke a law where judges must be reviewed in front of a public board when crap like this happens. They should have mandatory ongoing education of some sort and be forced to reconcile with their decisions instead of hiding behind immunity... Judges are cowards

Stop fighting and running from the police! You will lose every single time!

No cash bail systems. Everyone walks free and the best thing is it's all free. You can walk free and commit as many atrocities as you like. The best things in life are indeed free!!!

Good job officers. RIP to fallen officer.

quit jumping in moving cars if u care about ur life.

You have the right to have an attorney present when questioned. Seems like that officer should know that and not ask why

The judge is said to have to deal with the worst illnesses for the rest of his life.

Note to LEO, Do not hang on or in about fleeing vehicles. The job is not worth your life

Awful lot of cop haters & Monday morning experts commenting. 🙄 My condolences to the officer's family.

Do really need cops for this BS

Never relax around POCS.
