"Look at these hands, I can't punch." What an odd thing to say. It reminds me of the glove in the OJ trial.

[@NickGurz2024]

If these hands didn’t do shiyidt, you must acquit!

[@seriouscarguys702]

Fellas, you know woman gonna try to get underneath your skin on purpose. Don’t ever react like this or let her win. Ignore that clown and let her watch your greatness from afar.
There’s a reason she’s been Barred and she’s your ex for a reason 🥃🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm judging him by the content of his character.

[@brichard9485]

Politically motivated charges in Georgia? Surely not!😂

[@DrummerJacob]

How is it politically motivated? We saw him on camera committing another crime in this video and he called it a "polytrick" He cant take responsibility for anything and he wants to force you to take responsibility for yourself with a gun and a badge and a team of people with guns and badges under him, at his directive.

[@Theworldismyoyster1000]

the looking away when he was questioned about hitting indicates lying.. he cant make eye contact when questioned his eyes started shifting... then he tried to down play his size .. his career field trains him to be fit for duty im sure he can punch anyone can.. he doesnt want to get in trouble

[@shar1202]

This is what they always say... I didn't do it.....😂

[@terrivangundy]

Of course

[@Gurn-xh5fg]

If Barack Hussein had a son...

[@theresthatguyagain5846]

Well, he lost the election, so whether this is just politics or not is moot.

[@Gurn-xh5fg]

Lol, "Shedarren". Another drunk Scrabble name.

[@Marsh.x]

He looks like he would beat up a woman; most cops have anger & control issues. They prefer their ego rubbed, not questioned..

[@Gurn-xh5fg]

Lowering law enforcement hiring standards in the pursuit of diversity goals is ALWAYS a bad idea- just ask Tyre Nichols.
