But attorney Eric Seitz, who represents the Sykap family, disagrees. He said the comments were made on a private Instagram account that weren’t meant to be made public but were shared by somebody else. “I regret that those comments were made but this family is devastated by what happened and I don’t begrudge them any comments that express the degree of outrage which they’re entitled to feel when their 16-year-old brother, son and grandson was gunned down by eight bullets in the back by two police officers who are being raised up as heroes,” said Seitz.

Eric, Eric, Eric. NOTHING and I do mean NOTHING you put on the internet is private. EVER. I don't care if you start a new social media company called "PRIVATEPRIVATE!", NOTHING here is private. Are you going to argue in favor of people exchanging child porn are fine because they're exchanging materials privately?
