Lady, you are in la la land
This gives ALABAMA RIVERBOAT BRAWL, farmers edition😡🇺🇸 .. and I found myself reaching for my folding chair👀… cause this was so triggering!!!!
Sorry there was no water ways to help US all, decent humans, reach you right away brother🤎💔🖤… But we got you now!!!
None of them racists, their companies, their families, their homes👀… is gonna NOT feel this JUSTIFIED OUTRAGE🇺🇸💯… and sincere gratitude to y'all non-Black allies, joining us to get justice for this man his precious dog and that truck!!!!🙏💯…
Let's gooooooooo ⚖️🇺🇸⚖️!!!
I’m sure they were all afraid of the lone, unarmed trucker
Who is this reporter? Crazy lying reporter
News 13 must be local in that town. 😂😂😂😂lying az
Was the puppy seriously injured? What happened to it?
Why would he take a phone that he can buy🤔 he was At Work make it make sense
Not sure how they were portrayed incorrectly, when the man had his trailer flipped over. I don't care about context bc engaging in criminal damage, especially when ya gotta get a backhoe.
I hope he sues TF out of em. Wtf so they think they are?!? Accountability needs to be held.
Smells like a Jussie Smolier case.
Typical of workers in that profession.
Assault, attempted murder, animal abuse. This video is all over the place and they are not going to cover this up.
Assult with a deadly weapon = 2years. Animal abuse = 2 years ….. damage to semi and trailer =restitution plus 2 years ….. gove them all a 6 year sentence each …
Sound's like the trucker has case because the report says the cop pulled out a gun it's a cover-up for cop's
That place needs shut down
OK TYRONE YOU WANTED THE RACE CARD TO GET PLAYED
HERE YOU GO BEN CRUMP AND AL SHARPTON ARE ON THE WAY
HOLD YOUR BREATH
The tracker didn’t do anything wrong. They were very aggressive to begin with. They looked like a Lynch mob. Plus flipping the semi truck over and brandishing a gun. Blaming him he took his phone, he lost it during the first confrontation. I hope justice is served.
Haywood Jablowme
BLACKS FOR TRUMP REPUBLICANS VOTED FOR THIS ❤
Not buying it TBD.
Why did this channel block the aggressive face
Why did tik tok remove the video. Tik tok is racist.
Stop calling racists sir
They want us to believe a lone truck driver with a puppy in his cab picked a fight with a bunch of red necks!
The most corrupt place in the usa 😅
Shuts the door on a puppy. So brave, coward
OMG!!! He hurt that poor dog 😢😭😡
Does anyone know if the dog is okay???
Flipping truck over and trapping the driver inside of the truck and injuring his dog is now "simple assault"
Sheriff might not be directly involved but he's definitely involved.
I wanna know how the dog is doing.
He did we we hear the dog sue the company and shut the whole company down for good
I saw the video and the driver was attacked by the owners son who spoke to him in a highly aggressive bordering racist tone. The driver was very calm, the hill Billy’s were foaming at the mouth and turned bright red yelling at the driver. All because the truck showed up and parked at 6 when the dump opens and hour later.
Are they sure this is where they wanna take it??
Because this is a two way street with no u turn.
🤣🤣🤣People in THIS country are supposed to only react after they get all the information?!?!🤣🤣🤣🤣 Right. Yes. That's so gonna happen. 🙄
holy.effing.f.
Send in John Wick. 😡 Hurting a puppy? Must be real tough guys.
Terrible news coverage… 1905 sh!+
Omg he hurt that puppy.
Evil evil evil.
If… IF they hurt his dog and flipped his truck with a dozer… they should be in prison !! …. Simple as that !!
Nothing that man did necessitated them hurting that dog. 😮
I saw the whole thing that black guy that's got the video out is the one that started the whole thing he's going to be found out to be a liar because the video has been edited to make him look like the victim and he's not the victim
Yeah the black driver had a gun and he was chasing after a old white guy going to beat him up and those other white people tried to save him from being beat up by a black guy that's all there is to it
CLEARLY THE INTENT IS HATE!!!
THEY SHOULD REMOVE THE INFORMATION ABOUT BEING A CHRISTIAN ORGANIZATION!! JESUS DOESN'T DO STUFF LIKE THIS BUT SATAN DOES!!!
Just an average day in the racist white south of America
Is the puppy okay?
What he describes! What a terrible reporter. You mean whats on video. It's the sheriff! What a pos reporting!
Cute that anyone thinks those bubbas could actually manage a cell phone. That was NO sheriff!
The public believes the word of the trucker over the bubbas. How could he possible steal a cell phone while driving a truck?
