Please tell me the dude was white
If he was white, they would have already told you.
Oh god
Doesn’t surprise me. It’s Trump country out there. Sounds like a man who was simply practicing his 2nd amendment right. Ain’t that right folks?
Since when is it your second amendment right to break someone’s ribs and pour gasoline on them and threaten ignition? You need to lay of the alcohol and think clearly before you speak. Hope you don’t live out here, I could get shot just driving by.
Troll much Yikes?
Yikes (Basement Dweller)Grow the hell up
It’s the liberal fools like you who are completely eroding this country, if you don’t like YOUR PRESIDENT get the hell out

Eduardo Martinez ——said he did not want to go back to jail, no definitely one of yours snowflake—-
The last comment is dumbest comment that could have been posted. What does an incident of Domestic Violence have to do with
“It’s Trump country out there. Sounds like a man who was simply practicing his 2nd amendment right. Ain’t that right folks?“
Glad the victim managed to get away and wish the Deputies and victim a full recovery.
Has nothing to do with second amendment just a drunk asshole white or black who cares he’s a POS. What does Trump have to do with it? That poor woman now has trauma physically and emotionally. Very sad for the officers as well.
Hopefully the injured deputies are ok. Thank you to the officers who risk so much for so little.
You are appreciated and respected by most!!
Thank you!!!
AMEN!!!
So I guess we aren’t going to protest that a white man was killed by cops. How is this not bullshit? If it was a black guy we would be destroying the city, after all we need new shoes.
Sorry to burst your bubble, he was Hispanic. Eduardo Martinez.
The difference is that there was an 8 hour standoff, they were shot at several times throughout the day by this man and didn’t do anything.. Drinking several beers? Really? If that was a black man that would have never happened… They would have tear gassed that house, batterrammed the door and came in blazing..He was shot because he shot them.. not because he had a gun or that he beat up his girlfriend and poured gasoline on her..
WTF is wrong with people.!! Race and politics have nothing to do with the fact that this guy held a lady hostage, assaulted her and then fired a weapon at police. What did you expect a parade in his name… I feel sorry for your kids.
So if they defund police I suppose they would have had social workers dealing with domestic violence. Wonder how that would have worked out.
