Sad to see my town in pain smh, I used to want to be a cop when I was growing up but once I seen what our pd is doing out here n all the hate they get because of the trash cops that give them a bad look, made me change my mind💯 If you seen him taking a stance why didn’t you park the truck around the corner of the store instead of shooting directly at him if your not sure if he’s gonna fire or not plus your in a vehicle you have cover n a way to get out 🤦🏽♂️
So glad im a firefighter and my colleagues and chain of command are the nicest family men. I cant imagine not being with such a family and having to deal with the public hating you
Karma and God will take care of these American citizen killers so called ,"police"
My God, what kind of freakshow is this?!
Wow... 👌 👏
This was amazingly put together.
"The support group and the blood death ritual can be the same thing.."
Powerfully spoken...
I hope all are held accountable.
The officers speaking so selfishly after taking someone's life so inhumane and predatory is truly the most disgusting thing I have ever seen AND any officer who speaks like that towards potential criminals or just community members should be terminated and have no opportunity to work in any form of human services nor government..
This documentary truly captures what the term Trigger Happy means...
I hope each of these VICTIMS and their families are afforded justice..
The DOJ needs to do a deep dive into this.
Shame on all these cops to try to come off as a victim. You should be in jail with people you put there.
Easy. Abolish qualified immunity for cops/judges/DA's. Watch what happens. Or make the qualifications to be a police officer 70× longer and harder.
So sad, I always drive to Vallejo from Richmond to visit my gf. Thanks vice for covering this
This is why people get fed up and go wild.

“This is not what I needed tonight” are they sane?
By just watching the first few minutes of this video what I see is a police department they need to be replaced by the sheriffs department temporarily until they rebuild an entirely new police department from the ground up with all new officers. No zero existing officers from this department, these officers that remain need to be disbursed among other departments, in the state of California as one or twos of them end up on other departments, they will be indoctrinated into that departments way of doing things and they have the possibility of changing their ways. But this department needs to be stopped and shut down! As a police officer, it is painful to watch this. It is painful to watch police officers treat people like this, but that seems to be the way of many city cops this hyper aggression. I will see a lot of guys that I see that have X military infantry or ranger experience very rarely display this kind of aggression as police officers, even though you would think they would, because they can handle tense, uncertain rapidly evolving situations, they keep their calm under high pressure situations. I feel for the people of Vallejo California because I know moving is probably not a possibility for you, so you’re stuck there. I can imagine it’s almost like being in a occupied foreign country with a dictator as a leader. Hopefully his deputy prosecutor can install the change that should’ve happened a long time ago.
They speak about the victims but not what they did or didn't do. Just out of context clips. Maybe there are just more scum in Vallejo. Sad that people have to blindly defend people for being criminals these days. The community shapes the police. There are bad police but it's come to a black and white situation. There are never two sides. Just one and the media tends to win. I am not speaking for Vallejo PD but in general. If I asked every single person in this comment section if good police exist you would say no. There is your problem. Hold those accountable but not the ones who aren't.

All 5hey have to do is DO NOT conduct crime.
They killed my homies cousin. He never had a gun. Killers!
If you notice their squad cars don't say serve and protect anymore 🤔
Listen to commands and you live to the next day.
