My biological uncle was murdered on my birthday years ago. Don't know when actually and two of my half brothers died in their twenties, one was pushed in front of a train and no one knows what happened to the other.
Yeah and bullshit like wtf? 10 years? If this was a black police officer, it would've been a complete different story and not only that, the brother lost all my respect for forgiving this racist piece of shit like he should know better that this situation would've been a whole lot different if someone like him was in that situation.
Faith in humanity restored... today the world needs young men like him. He is younger but way more wiser and a bigger person than me... God bless him with a happy and successful life ahead...
Bush would have never done that... he went and destroyed a Country, executed their President, killed 1.000.000 people and brought chaos in the whole World.
Im tired of seeing BLACK PEOPLE FORGIVING ALL THE TIME TO MURDERERS ESPECIALLY WHITE ONES WHO WON'T FORGIVE BLACKS BUT RATHER US DIE!!!! DUDE SAID HE LOVED HER WTH
@@ricocheteraw90sthebestdecade he truly has a lot to learn he is Young and he has a heart for Christ but he must realize that he is that same black man with the same bloodline that she murdered..SMH
@@ricocheteraw90sthebestdecade I'm sure she's cringing well they are hugging and calling him the n-word in the back of her mind just like she left all of those hateful messages on her social media.
I am an old christian and i am not there where this young man is. But the Bible says love your ememies, and in doing this you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.
@Libs Hate Montesquieu Trump is a professional con artist. Why do you think he promised he would release his tax returns, yet still hasn't? Why do you think so many people have left the administration? He promised he'd solve N.Korea, he said Mexico would pay for the wall, he said he would repeal and replace Obamacare day one. Just look at his family, they can't stand his a$$ either. That's why you never see baron or tiffany. He said multiple times that he wanted to sleep with ivanka. Dude is a liar and just plain nasty.
I was so moved to tears 😭. In a moment where anyone else would take the opportunity to verbally tear this lady apart, this young man broke us all with his incredible act of kindness, forgiveness and love 💕. I can only empathize and wish him love and healing for his loss. 🙏🏼 Thank you for reminding us we have it in us to be better humans.
It's crazy because even though he's coming with her with nothing but love, that will kill her inside harder than anything any other person can say to her. He's letting God do the work.
@Marc jones man im Black if i haven't herd the truth dont what is ...you my friend is tellin the truth ...get killed by a white woman or man jesus love you B.s modern Day Martin Luther king shyt dont work
He had to do this as much for himself and his sanity. Can you imagine having to carry this hurt and anger around the rest of your life? I understand his reason and don't think I would ask to hug the perpertrator, but each of us responds in our own way, and many of us claim to be christians, well, there you go.
He forgave her because that's what happens when you surrender to Christ. It changes you for the better one day at a time his love fills you. I understand if you dont believe I'm just telling you my personal experience. This guy knows his bible and follows his (Gods)will.
Forgiveness is for you, not for the other person. Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies. Colossians 3:13 "The Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive."
@@ethenmorel You are correct! God gives us the grace to endure what would be impossible in the natural world. It is the fruit of the Holy Spirit working in us believers. When you accept Christ, He sends the Holy Spirit to abide in you and you are changed from the inside out by Him. Gal.5;22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. It is amazing how the Lord changes a person!! I was an atheist and I mocked the Lord. I was arrogant and stupid. I smoked cigarettes, weed, and crack. The Lord delivered me from weed and cigarettes in one day supernaturally! I had a foul mouth , every other word was the F word and the Holy Spirit cleaned up my mouth! I'm 7 years in with the Lord and it's been the best 7 years of my life! The peace, joy and rest the Lord gives not to mention His love, mercy and grace are astounding! God bless everyone❣❤🧡💛💚💙💜🕊🔥💖🤗✝️
@Watchman of God You are right and we know the Lord will work it to the good! I pray that she will be born again and be a great light to e everyone in the prison in Jesus's mighty name and for the glory of God, amen! God bless you!🤗💖🕊🔥✝️
@Philip Roberts He believes in Jesus but he's confused of his name. Yeshua is Jesus's Hebrew name. Some people are teaching Christians that they should no longer use the name "Jesus". But it's really silly. Whether you call him Yeshua or Jesus. Jesus knows who he is and you know yourself who you worship. It's all Satan's divisive tactics. Unfortunately people are falling for it.
@Crazy Canuck im not the one named crazy, or should i say delusional. Most of you idiots dont use ur brains like yourself, instead u create fortune cookies thinking the world will change. Ur living in a fantasy world canuck, hugging dosnt solve a damn thing.
@Crazy Canuck wow great comeback, thats what happens when you got nothing to say. I dont need to say mean things im just intelligent and tell the even if its not popular, now thats brave and courage trust me.
I’m in complete awe of his level of forgiveness. What an amazing family for having raised this kind of human being. This case is just so sad for this family. Hope that Amber also finds the peace she will greatly need to come to terms and forgive herself for taking the life of an innocent man.
Everyone can be nice and kind when the sun is shining; But how do you conduct yourself in the tumultuous storm? Adversity doesn't build character -- It REVEALS it. And Brandt Jean showed us who he was during this difficult time. He is a rare Godly spirit among us, Blessed with "Agape Love". I imagine his brother was a beautiful person, too. His Beautiful Heart sure compels us to reexamine our own lives. How many people will change their lives or heart after seeing this?
Brandt Jean showed us what an enslaved Black mind and confused person looks like. He has totally disgraced his family, victims of murder, and Blacks. Begging for free hugs from the killer of your brother is extreme cringe. Looked like he would have licked Amber Guyger's toes if she asked. Not only that, but he undermined the entire point of bringing the killer to trial. I'm wonder if he was paid off to do that or is he that mentally disturbed.
Not me, no way no how not today! This officer of five years had options and she chose to over look her options and all her Police Academy Training and did what she wanted to do when she could have easily secured herself and called for backup which was less then five minutes from her apartment. She only lived 5 minutes from the police station. As an individual with a background in law enforcement this today was not Justice. Tell me when have you seen people hugging after a trial as if it's Sunday Morning and your at church or even better it's Family and Friends Day,please and the brother fixed his mouth to say I don't want you to go to jail, I forgive you, I wish you the best, honey I live in the real world and it's ok to be angry. Am angry and my heart goes out to that mother who lost a good son at the hands of the Adversary AMBER "Murderer" GUYGER and just like she killed him I pray and hope she DIE IN PRISON, YES DIE I WILL BE PRAYING THAT PRAYER ALL DAY EVERYDAY 365 DAYS A YEAR 3 TIMES A DAY JUST TO MAKE MYSELF FEEL BETTER! When have you listened to a Anglo-Saxon individual say I forgive you after little Ray Ray has murdered their college daughter in her apartment when the mother gave her impact statement last year during a trial she expressed a good life sentence would be just fine with her. The mother not anyone in the family did any hugging and that also included the judge. I don't want a hug I want Justice to be Served ,Quick Harsh and Swift!!!!!! Quick, Harsh and Swift! Period, Dot the End!😠😡😡😡😡😒
@@Lerian_V "Atheist confirmed"? Nigga shut the fuck up... he is a sellout... No white person has ever forgiven a black person for doing something, so why should this dude? His brother was fucking murdered and now he should hug the murderer? Go to fucking hell.
Why most def is mad because he's obviously a black man tired of seeing our people forgiving awhile nobody forgives us..NEVER..I WATCHED THE VICTIMS OF THE CHURCH SHOOTINGS FAMILY FORGIVE DILLON ROOF...IT MADE ME CRY CAUSE MY PEOPLE ARE JUST BOWING DOWN NOWADAYS.
@Mos Def you have your opinion and I have mine. Because you don't see it does not make him a traitor to his family. You have no right to judge this young man at all. Feel how you feel and god bless you but don't judge this man. I don't disrespect how you feel but don't try to put what you feel on someone else. So you be you and I will still feel that same respect for this young man. God is who I would need forgiveness from for my deeds. Won't loose sleep because a simple human being cannot be forgiving. So to that wish you well.
Weakness is giving in to your rage, forgiveness takes strength especially in the face of something so horrible. I know I wouldn't have it in me to forgive, this dude is a pillar of grace.
Weakness is letting people beat you down repeatedly and letting it go. She murdered his brother then tried to drag his name through the mud in an attempt to get herself out of trouble. She's not even remorseful, she's just caught.
Shinzenbi I just read your comment.You are sooo Right.My name is Karl,and sometimes,I get angry at people that I felt did my a wrong.Then I watch the Video of a true Man forgiving the Woman who killed his Brother.I watched this this Morning on one of the Cable News Shows.It reminded me of what I should by feeling.When I watch the display of forgiveness,and the Woman reaction,I get touched.I am reminded as all of us should that only God judges,and that we should all seeks forgiveness from others,and be willing to forgive others ourselves.
Hey Shinzenbi you are soooo Right.Everybody needs to be forgiving to the wrongs done to us.I am a part of a religion that is suppose to be forgiving,but sometimes,some are not.This is truly bad.We need to put into action what the younger brother put into action,and from the heart.
That's one of the best thing when we are a child of God we must have a love heart and for giving heart that's the heart Jesus wants from us God bless you sir
Should be locked up for LIFE, 30 YEARS MINIMUM, now the witness was killed, some shady shit going down, case should be re-opened and everyone involved should be under investigation.
STEPHEN- Check it Playa when ya not black U can only put up with a certain amount of tension from BLACK PEOPLE - But when ya Race keep delivering problems to another Race it gets tiring then it become an MAJOR ISSUE- YOUR BLACK RACE HAVE A PROBLEM - I SAY YOUR BLACK RACE SHOULD BE WALK OUT
Get off your self-righteous arrogant pedestal. Fool, if his brother can forgive her than certainly an asshole like you could do the same. I also bet she is not going to serve a mere two years. Maybe 7 or 8 for good behavior, but most likely she will serve all ten years. She showed remorse, asshole, and that's the main thing by far. And did you watch the entire trial? She absolutely is redeemable so she doesn't deserve to rot in jail forever.
@@zanderprinceton9539 Life throwing bad things is literally the definition of adversity. Maybe you just don’t like the word itself. Poor ppl have more compassion for others because of the their tougher experiences.
@M.A. Monson Awwww look, it’s a snowflake getting triggered by a harmless fact. Thinly veiled? I wonder what you’re inferring. Perhaps it rhymes with bassist? LOL In general, poor ppl are more willing to part with their money to help others in need because they’re more likely to know how it feels to be in their position. That was merely the example I chose to support the fact that adversity builds character, which the OP already knew based on his reply. Fyi: poverty is economic adversity. My assertion had nothing to do with this family. YOU drew that conclusion for OBVIOUS reasons. You’re so emotional that your brain is much too foggy to ever process any logical thoughts, so you automatically ‘feel’ racism in everything, hence your tantrum of a comment. Unfortunately, your kind far outnumbers people like Brandt. He’s had a lifetime of training for this big moment having been surrounded by irrational troublemakers like you. Talk about adversity!! LMAO

What a classy, genuine young man. He's not just mature for his age, he's lifetimes ahead of most of us with this kind of strength and forgiveness. Inspiring.

@FutureRichPerson 247365 it wasn't in cold blood. Prove it was in cold blood okay go..you can't. And yes I would like to believe I'm half as strong as his brother speaking on his behalf. So sad and just unfortunate.
@@mikemondano3624 I had a near death experience in 2006 after my truck got hit by a command det IED. I didnt go to the good place first. I went where it was so dark that the darkness was flowing through my body. And much more brutal stuff. I would rather go through physical pain than the mental low that I was in when in there. Then horrible things i seen yes. It was like the movie Event Horizon times googleplex bad. Then I was pulled out of it and went to light and comfort for a little while. I'm not going to go to that bad place. No way! God Bless you.
This is human love, compassion, and forgiveness that we are all capable of, but the majority will never be able to reach this level of decency. It's a beautiful moment mixed with a sad truth.
Too often we give others the power of controlling our emotions. Replace fear, hate and anger with love and you will be free. Props to Bothams brother... much respect.
Nick Currey ...I thought same thing til just something about the back of a person head almost like a double . And when she leaped up to hug him she was slight thinner , they got it close though ! But a big deal was done is why you could not look at face of imposter- and why Brandt had to say : I don’t want her to do no jail time ! No worries there . It will go to Appellate and with Botham own brother testimony to not give her ANY jail time ! Get some discernment. All of a sudden we get to ONLY see a back of a head ??? Amber already Celebrating her freedom because she sure isn’t in jail ! But that is how BOTHAM AND HIS FAMILY CHOSE to take obscene amount of money to give themselves a whole new life even at expense of they murdered deceased loved one . His own Brother! Who says money doesn’t buy even justice . The kind of figure$ they have in bank right now had to be orbiting $0000, 00000 in triple number figures POSSIBLY .Over 50 million if not over 100 Million sad
They are just super nice people.Him and his brother and his mom too had great words to say. These people didn't deserve what happened to them. I had to stop listening to his comments because I feel his pain but at the same time there is no justice that can make this lost any better and certainly not 10 years with 5 years probation. That just makes you want to cry even more honestly looking at this bullshit. Prayers go out to that family this is unimaginably sad. Also and just like they say " ignorance of the law is not an excuse ". Its also not an excuse to be ignorant enough to shoot someone in there own residence, because you thought it was your place.
@Linny Payne I have no gripe about this young man's compassion and forgiveness. You have to be a strong willed person to even say what he said even after not that much time has passed. My issue is wholeheartedly with the sentencing. I agree with you that we should be forgiving to one another. Even then it takes time because people get hurt and not everyone deals with the pain in the same fashion. That hurts people so you can't say that everyone is going to respond this way being placed in a similar situation no matter the ethnicity. However the sentencing just makes you even more sad watching this bullshit. She knew she was wrong for this. Im not going to start on her unnecessary questionable racist comments because they have little bearing on the cold facts.
@Linny Payne In many cases that is to be true. The reason why I ignore stuff like her questionable texts and tweets is because honestly its irrelevant to the actual case. For example they used images of Trayvon Martin to impose he was some sort of gangster. Like so thats totally irrelevant to the case. Point being black doesn't always call for racism to occur, but being black almost never gives you the benefit of doubt that other people would generally receive. How do you feel about the sentencing?
What an absolutely beautiful young man this is. It's absolutely heartbreaking but I'm glad that he got up and spoke what he wanted to. Still praying for this family💕
What do they have to do with this story. You want him to hold a grudge just because you do. By the way ain't no damn body rotting in prison for a bag of weed.
@@thespookyvaginosisnut5984 absolutely. You see I've been locked up with them more than once or twice. And I can tell you without any doubt in my mind that every single person black or otherwise that was in the prisons I was in deserved to be there. There was no innocent black guys who got caught with a personal sack of weed. No everyone was a criminal who had numerous Chance's to get their shit together before being locked up. That's a fact.
@@adamshortnacy4595 no, this isn't true. More than half of the black people there don't really deserve to be there. What makes you suspect that they deserve to be there?
@@thespookyvaginosisnut5984 more than half don't deserve to be there. Where did you get that number from. And it depends on what you believe is prison worthy I suppose. Nobody believes a simple weed possession is worth it. It's why noone is serving time for it. Black white yellow it doesn't matter noone.
This lady was a racist and even admitted it on her text. I’m not sure I could forgive her especially under those circumstances that she just killed my brother but I do applaud him for showing dignity that even wanted to hug the defendant.
@@mergg3365 for one shes not white. And the term white is in use to promote white supremacist. Do the research for yourself. You can start from 1681. So called white people have been racist for years and its a built in trate that will never change.

Deuteronomy 7:6-15, Amos 3:1-2, he's the perfect example of a isrealite, Job9:24, it's a big difference than a Christian I bet the lady that hugs him is a Christian
The only way to overcome evil is to fight fire with fire. You think jews got ahead by being ''peaceful''. Blood will run when certain people cant learn to keep their hands and their petty hate to themselves.
So please explain to me how good overcame evil in this case? The man is dead. The brother wants this woman to live her best life! I've yet to hear that she is even sorry she took a life other than she had to go through this process?
You clearly don't understand what forgiveness is about, that's why you're saying this. They have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of. This is a useless comment that should have just been kept to yourself.
This is sad. As someone with a profile pic of Emma Goldman I expect more from you. Forgiveness is weak and only perpetuates the racist systemic violence in America. He literally said he does not want her to be punished or go to jail but to devote her life to god. This is the epitome of a colonized mind.
Some Guy : An example for ALL Americans, right now. His life will be SO MUCH better, unburdened by hate, and leaving that in the hands of the system, which did NOT let him down. Trump fans could learn from this?
A love that covers over a multitude of sins. One that comforts us in the face of loss, and one that forgives in spite of hurt. One that no one ever deserves, but a gift freely given. That is the love of God ♥
@@abc1234567a1 it doesn't say it has to be publicly...how he did it was his choice. But it does say you must forgive. Colossians 3:13 "The Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive." 2 Corinthians 2:5-8, 10 "Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure - not to put it too severely - to all of you. For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough, so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him … Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive." Luke 17:4 "If he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, 'repent,' you must forgive him."
MSBLS721 sure the how is his choice but it’s a choice that based on everything I know is the wrong choice for safety reasons. I’m not an evil person but if I was an evil person seeing this display it would embolden me. Not nearly as harsh of a sentence since I’m not black or Hispanic is one thing but knowing people I hate will love and immediately forgive me would be the icing on the cake. Some people fail to understand that public forgiveness can actually be pretty dangerous. When’s the last time America as a country came out publicly and forgave an enemy country or group? I can’t think of many people who would want evil people to know that they will be forgiven instantly by the people they wronged.
Troy Oliver His actions are unselfish. This video got millions of view in a day and brought glory and possibly convinced others to look deeper into christianity. That is worth much more than some threats in the mail.
Dom Villegas what’s beautiful about this ? He’s giving a green light for murder as long as you give yourself to Christ. Religion has clouded this mans judgement. He doesn’t truly mean what he says he is simply expressing what he is told to feel and believe in the name of his religion.
@@coke1011 that u don't see forgiveness as beautiful is the problem yeah its terrible and no it's not a green light for what she did but it takes more strength to forgive someone then it does to hate and fyi I'm not Christian far far from any religious organization I just recognize this for what it is real strength
Kristin Francis.......I agree that was a stunning display of character......my hope would be that parents would save video of this and show it to their children whenever the subject of grace and forgiveness comes up.
Finally, someone with real compassion who sees the loss on BOTH SIDES. We all need to pray for Amber, and it makes me cry knowing that she didn't set out to kill anyone, and that her life is forever ruined because of poor decision making.
CapoVelli I wouldn’t have at all, Period. His Brother is a Sap & a Sucker, Hugging The Person that Murdered Your Brother? What? no Power of Religion or God or whatever should excuse that My Brother is gone because of that Person.
Forgives is not for the other person it is for you so you can heal. Bitterness is like cancer it will kill you if you don't get it out. My husband of 17 years was killed by a drunk driver. I don't hate him. Forgiveness helps me to live with the help of God.
Im in tears god is really in his heart , most people wouldnt be able to be in his shoes and be so forgiving...amen good man need more people like him..

@Ty Jones The Lord isn't supposed to do anything FOR us. He gives us the ability to learn skills and make choices. Unfortunately, some people make bad (evil) choices and the rest of us deal with the consequences.
If there's anything that can make you believe in humanity, it's this very act. The judge and representation allowed these two people a moment to show love for each other rather than hate. We all make mistakes that we later on regret and this beautiful man was able to see through that. 😢

That running to that young man and hugging him like that, and crying those tears, those weren't faked tears or any kind of faked behavior. That's being grateful for the sentence that she got, and wanting that boy to know that she is very sorry for what happened, and for being real enough in her humility to allow someone to grace her under such circumstances. Great things are going to come from her, it won't bring Bothem back, but she is worth something to society, and the jury felt that way, too (and so did that boy).
@@kristypolymath1359 - Why are you calling him a boy, all of your words don't take away from the fact that you can't find yourself calling a Black man a MAN? Also, no, she isn't a beautiful girl, see, you called her a woman but the man a boy...

Cause he forgave the woman that doesn't make him any less of a black man..you cats are just as bad as some of these white folks running around here. He stood like a man and accepted her apology for himself not the rest of his family and he had the right to that..she got time.you got officers that's been getting away with killing babies..that's where your outrage should be.we can't expect white people to get over themselves when we can't either
Stop with this bullshit, a man lost his, 10 years is mercy anything else, I dont need to heal I need to be treated equal, it's black men serving more time for drugs, once again blacks don't want to be free
Mos Def I’m sorry that you feel that way. Maybe I’ve had different life experiences than you have. I don’t see any reason to carry hate and anger around with you in life. He knows that she did not try to kill his fine brother. It really is better to forgive ❤️
Kisha McCormick nobody’s ‘forcing’ anyone to do anything. He chose to forgive his brother’s killer. Anger and sadness are natural during grief, but holding onto anger will make people bitter, and that’s not healthy. Bitter people are controlled by their anger. Forgiveness isn’t easy, but it’s way more healthy than anger and bitterness.
@@JoinksScoob The mans' brother was just murdered last year. It's ok for him to still be hateful, bitter and angry. He doesn't need to supress those feelings. How do you know he's free now that he forgave her? I know so much folks that forgive and don't feel free. Folks such as yourself need to stop with this bullshit. Stop forgiving bullshit. This Amber bitch didn't even ask for these folks forgiveness. They're sitting up there begging to be her friend when it should be the other way around. There's a reason why there's so much assholes in this world. People are too quick to forgive bullshit. And no forgiveness is not much easier than being hateful and bitter. You can make peace with what happened and move on but you donot have to forgive
Man he forgives.thats a good thing. Hating her isn't gonna bring his brother back so he choose to love because that's was the type of man his brother was..she got found guilty and she was giving time. Every situation between black and white ain't that clear cut..we as people gotta stop wishing the worst for the next race and get mad when they wish the worst for us. Its gonna take all of us to be great
Doesn't matter how we feel. His way is the right way for him. I feel good for that young man knowing he's well past the hate for her, and what she did.
@@h.s936 No, I think Amber should get at the very very least 20 years . I'm not sure why you concluded from my first comment that I justified her crime.
This was truly an example of love and forgiveness. People misunderstand forgiveness doesn't green light someone's wrong forgiveness frees you and demonstrates love which breaks all forms of evil. God bless this family that takes a lot
Ex police officer Mohammed Noor got over 12 years for mistakenly killing an innocent white women. He expressed his mistaken and apologized to the victims family but no remorse came from them... and they were rewarded a $20M civil suit.🤔
The jury in this was brilliant......they knew there was a mob outside screaming for a murder conviction so they delivered that for them......and then came back and delivered a man-slaughter type sentence 10yrs/she'll be out in 4yrs.....this satisfied the mob.... plus gave her sensible sentence instead of 99 freakin yrs.
No it doesn't. It's a green light for White psycho or racist cops to kill more innocent Blacks, thinking they can get away with it or get a light prison sentence. When have you seen a White family and White judge hug a Black killer of an innocent White woman that was in her own home, to the joy of White America? Time to be honest about this insanity.

It was most likely an honest mistake. I don't think she had the honest intention to murder someone. I think she just forgot her training and panicked, not realizing she wasn't in her own apartment. But I understand why some people probably think she deserves more
@ericlogos so you're going to tell me she murdered him just because she didn't like him making noise? I highly doubt that. She probably didn't recognize she was in the wrong apartment, and freaked out. I don't believe she killed him just out of hatred

Forgiveness is for you, not for the other person. Unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies.
Colossians 3:13
"The Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive."
@@ethenmorel You are correct! God gives us the grace to endure what would be impossible in the natural world. It is the fruit of the Holy Spirit working in us believers. When you accept Christ, He sends the Holy Spirit to abide in you and you are changed from the inside out by Him. Gal.5;22-25 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. It is amazing how the Lord changes a person!! I was an atheist and I mocked the Lord. I was arrogant and stupid. I smoked cigarettes, weed, and crack. The Lord delivered me from weed and cigarettes in one day supernaturally!

Begging for free hugs from the killer of your brother is extreme cringe. Looked like he would have licked Amber Guyger's toes if she asked. Not only that, but he undermined the entire point of bringing the killer to trial. I'm wonder if he was paid off to do that or is he that mentally disturbed.
Not me, no way no how not today! This officer of five years had options and she chose to over look her options and all her Police Academy Training and did what she wanted to do when she could have easily secured herself and called for backup which was less then five minutes from her apartment. She only lived 5 minutes from the police station. As an individual with a background in law enforcement this today was not Justice. Tell me when have you seen people hugging after a trial as if it's Sunday Morning and your at church or even better it's Family and Friends Day,please and the brother fixed his mouth to say I don't want you to go to jail, I forgive you, I wish you the best, honey I live in the real world and it's ok to be angry.

Also and just like they say " ignorance of the law is not an excuse ". Its also not an excuse to be ignorant enough to shoot someone in there own residence, because you thought it was your place.
@Linny Payne I have no gripe about this young man's compassion and forgiveness. You have to be a strong willed person to even say what he said even after not that much time has passed. My issue is wholeheartedly with the sentencing. I agree with you that we should be forgiving to one another. Even then it takes time because people get hurt and not everyone deals with the pain in the same fashion. That hurts people so you can't say that everyone is going to respond this way being placed in a similar situation no matter the ethnicity. However the sentencing just makes you even more sad watching this bullshit. She knew she was wrong for this. Im not going to start on her unnecessary questionable racist comments because they have little bearing on the cold facts.
@Linny Payne In many cases that is to be true. The reason why I ignore stuff like her questionable texts and tweets is because honestly its irrelevant to the actual case. For example they used images of Trayvon Martin to impose he was some sort of gangster. Like so thats totally irrelevant to the case.
Point being black doesn't always call for racism to occur, but being black almost never gives you the benefit of doubt that other people would generally receive. How do you feel about the sentencing?
He restores my faith in humanity. So gracious and I hope people would follow his example.

Whoah I think that's like the first real Christian thing I've seen besides in TV shows and movies

It takes a strong person to forgive someone who killed their brother.
brother was a deadbeat
"Murdered" his brother, not manslaughter
DOUBLE FOLD COMING I’m not wicked.. I always try my best to forgive
What about all the little black boys rotting in jail for 20 year or more over a bag of weed! What mercy did they receive?

@@thespookyvaginosisnut5984 absolutely. You see I've been locked up with them more than once or twice. And I can tell you without any doubt in my mind that every single person black or otherwise that was in the prisons I was in deserved to be there. There was no innocent black guys who got caught with a personal sack of weed. No everyone was a criminal who had numerous Chance's to get their shit together before being locked up. That's a fact.

This man is the highest example of Christian I have seen in my life so far. Some people have been sainted for far less.
Deuteronomy 7:6-15, Amos 3:1-2, he's the perfect example of a isrealite, Job9:24, it's a big difference than a Christian I bet the lady that hugs him is a Christian

Much respect to this young man.
The only way to overcome evil is doing good, but this brother is exceptional, i am so humbled.
AMEN 🙏
The only way to overcome evil is to fight fire with fire. You think jews got ahead by being ''peaceful''. Blood will run when certain people cant learn to keep their hands and their petty hate to themselves.
So please explain to me how good overcame evil in this case? The man is dead. The brother wants this woman to live her best life! I've yet to hear that she is even sorry she took a life other than she had to go through this process?

Some Guy : An example for ALL Americans, right now. His life will be SO MUCH better, unburdened by hate, and leaving that in the hands of the system, which did NOT let him down. Trump fans could learn from this?

A love that covers over a multitude of sins. One that comforts us in the face of loss, and one that forgives in spite of hurt. One that no one ever deserves, but a gift freely given. That is the love of God ♥
I believe in god but show or tell me where in the Bible it says you must go out (PUBLICLY) and forgive? God loves good and hates evil.
@@abc1234567a1 it doesn't say it has to be publicly...how he did it was his choice.
But it does say you must forgive.
Colossians 3:13
"The Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive."
2 Corinthians 2:5-8, 10
"Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure - not to put it too severely - to all of you. For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough, so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him … Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive."
Luke 17:4
"If he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, 'repent,' you must forgive him."
MSBLS721 sure the how is his choice but it’s a choice that based on everything I know is the wrong choice for safety reasons.
I’m not an evil person but if I was an evil person seeing this display it would embolden me. Not nearly as harsh of a sentence since I’m not black or Hispanic is one thing but knowing people I hate will love and immediately forgive me would be the icing on the cake.
Some people fail to understand that public forgiveness can actually be pretty dangerous.
When’s the last time America as a country came out publicly and forgave an enemy country or group?
I can’t think of many people who would want evil people to know that they will be forgiven instantly by the people they wronged.

Im not sure its about race that much. But it seems to me that the less fortunate are almost always more compassionate than those well off. At least in the case when they are the victims like this.
@@cora3337 when have you ever seen ANYONE do that? I'd wager never. It doesn't happen. So you don't know the effects it will have. Don't be toxic. He did a good thing REGARDLESS of people like you, who are negative even about good things. This act is probably the only good that came from the whole situation, and here you are tarnishing it. You should be ashamed.
Damn. 10 years isn't enough but I understand. She'll never handle a gun again.
It was most likely an honest mistake. I don't think she had the honest intention to murder someone. I think she just forgot her training and panicked, not realizing she wasn't in her own apartment. But I understand why some people probably think she deserves more
@@Quinny_ThirdTimes Felons can't be cops, so no, she'll never work as a LEO again. Get a grip
@@Quinny_ThirdTimes Check the facts first, then write comments.
@ericlogos so you're going to tell me she murdered him just because she didn't like him making noise? I highly doubt that. She probably didn't recognize she was in the wrong apartment, and freaked out. I don't believe she killed him just out of hatred
It's TX. She probably won't see 5 in prison and get her job back.
Wow! I've never seen anything like this! This kid is love personified. Not many out there like him. What a beautiful soul.
This is because of Jesus Christ
