The Police to investigate the Police there is not transparency here.The Police does not have any value on peoples Life.May GOD have Mercy on us all in this Country.
Mommy says he was a good boy?
So the police had an operation in the area and the deceased was shot. Whilst the exact circumstances are still being investigated, it would be counter productive to have the police investigate itself. It is important that the general public are comfortable knowing that the chips will fall wherever they may. The police don’t always get it right and when the make mistakes they ought to man up and own up to them. The next couple of days would be decisive .

Who is this not acting but actor fooling.. u kill someones child them make this promise. Jeffers u know it was a senseless killing. What the officers forget is to check the surveillance camera on the house where the shooting happened. U guys are late cameras were remove today. And u want us to say what we say to a police hotline. It dosent work thah way.
Check on loop news and social media for it . Ur going to beg to take it down. The world will see
The police is use the same script as JOE (P…..LE) BIDEN????.
COMEN ON…don’t be too lazy
Observing with one eye open. Don’t have much to say. Just looking on
Rest in peace Kahleel. We’re watching closely for transparency and justice
Listen. If anyone knows how upset I am. Bolans people need to come out against that . This was not necessary. Setabloodclat nonesende cops be doing young people. We have to stand up. Can’t another yuteman life go down just likadat
Kahleel Simon didn’t get a chance to live his life, and now the same system that killed him is asking for cooperation. There is no trust here. There is no justice yet. Only anger and fear.”
The POLICE ADMINISTRATION MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE for THIS Shooting DEATH ….. PLUS The OTHERS that Occurred Before THIS ONE ….
……. If Not the Administration of the Police Force, nor the Officer who did the SHOOTING, then DEFINITELY The Trainer who Trained THIS Officer in the Proper use of Firearms…… And Do Not DARE to tell me that THIS Police Officer doing THIS Shooting was NOT TRAINED …….
…… If THIS is the Case …….that This Police Officer WAS NOT TRAINED to use A Firearm…… then We (The Citizens in 🇦🇬) are THE WORST OFF ….. Sitting Ducks …..
…… Now Go ahead Journalists and REMOVE my Comment as you are accustomed to do!!
May Our Dear Lord have MERCY on ALL of Us …….
The family will get the generic rhetoric from police. Body turn over for burial after they delay as much as possible and then…radio silence.
We all know police are not heldaccountable for officer involved shootings. Let’s move on as we always do after the initial shock and hue and cry.
Nobody cares until it reaches their own. Love you forever my love. Still so heartbroken💔
Justice for Mannie James. Justice for Bruce Greenaway. All of them were killed by stinking cops. We hate police. Wicked bunch of criminals in suits.
So basically it will go nowhere. JunJun was also killed by police on his birthday a few weeks ago and we ain’t heard anything since. Seems like local police turn judge and executioner.
We pray and home for transparency. As a bolans resident I’ve heard the story and it all that was said is true then tsk tsk tsk
They pledged transparency in Chantel’s case as well. Okay we are going to say because the two cases are different?
