Two of the smartest and most insightful commentators today, both of whom happen to be black, have spoken words of great wisdom about the outrageous behavior of the Memphis cops that beat to death Tyre Nichols. Both men cite culture, though one, former Detroit police chief James Craig, points to the culture of the Memphis PD and the local culture of the “Scorpion” unit – one that deals with the worst street crime, and the other, Jason Whitlock, points to the broader black culture.
Speaking to Tucker Carlson, Chief Craig (who kept the peace in Detroit while Minneapolis and other cities were burning after the death in custody of George Floyd) spoke of Antifa and other subjects, while criticizing the behavior of the cops – not just the ones that beat on Tyre Nichols, but the ones who stood by and did nothing to stop them and nothing to aid Nichols after his injuries. Wait for the last minute of the video below to see his remarks on the culture of the Memphis Police Department and of the Scorpion unit.
Organizational culture is a powerful force shaping and regulating behavior. It fills in the details of the rules and regulations that formally exist and creates a sense of what members of the organization “ought” to do. What their internal mental guide tells them is appropriate. It is usually shaped by the behavior of others that they observe, and then see rewarded or punished. It emerges over time and becomes uncomscious.
Also speaking to Tucker on the same broadcast, Jason Whitlock, whom I deeply admire for his genuine wisdom, had the courage to raise the issues relating to black culture.

“Maybe he should’ve ended the relationship with said woman instead of brutally killing a young man.”
While I don’t entirely understand your written response, I believe we are on the same page: The kid did not deserve to die but banging another man’s wife was a bad decision on his part and cost him his life.
Very sad chain of events, but then again, the Good Lord made it very clear with the 6th Commandment: Thou shall not commit adultery (a.k.a.: Don’t bang another man’s wife).
Kid made the wrong choice dice and died.
We do not have a race problem. We have a problem race.
In addition let's remember what Thomas Jefferson said.
The government we elect is the government we deserve.
To put it simply, Memphis deserves and is responsible for the thugs who beat Tyre to death.
Meaning the cop had a choice (if any of this is true) to dump his girlfriend for cheating on him or stay. He chose instead to beat a young man to death who may not have realized she was in another relationship (with the cop). Not a very smart cop, who obviously believed himself above the law.
“Organizational culture is a powerful force shaping and regulating behavior.”
Any organization is only as good as the worst psychopath they tolerate among them.
There are no exceptions to this rule.

If that newbie is gonna post an opus, he better do it now before the zot.
He’s already posted an outrageous rumor as a statement of fact, already insulted other FReepers using abusive language, and has had a few replies removed.
Hey mods... just Zot this loser, OK?
dude, I’m am not here to judge anybody. Rather, I am here to engage in rational and deliberate conversation.
Regardless as to the moral and legal implications of this event, the young man was banging another man’s wife. A major no-no in any culture. Thus the reason the Good Lord gave us the the 6th Commandment (Thou shall not commit adultery - Lest her husband find out and kill you.)
Here ends the lesson.
I was showing that the cop sinned and opted for murder. We don’t know if this story is true or if the young man was aware of the woman’s relationship. Not judging, just viewing it from all angles.
I wonder if he knew she was married, because women never lie, ya know ...
“Not judging, just viewing it from all angles.”
Understood. Thank you for clarifying that.
My apologies for any offense taken. None intended. I need to be more thoughtful and conscientious before posting.
In before the Zot.
I smell ozone. This newbie FReeper has posted an outrageous rumor, insulted Freepers with abusive language, has had replies removed, and check out his tagline.
Many of us on this thread already are waiting for a full blown two year old style tantrum/opus. Or the zot.
Whichever comes first.
OMG! Another FReeper has labelled me as a dreaded “NEWBIE”.
Is this not a forum for open debate? Or is this an echo chamber for cultists and RINOs?
Somebody speaks against the mindless rantings of lemmings and you go apoplectic and demand they be silenced.
Tell me again what is the difference between you and Antifa / BLM because I am finding it very difficult to see a difference.
You don’t like what I say but cannot provide any logical or reasonable rebuttal to it so you demand I be banned/cancelled/suspended.
So again, please explain the difference between you and your adversaries, because to me you are no different than they are. Same attitude but with a different agenda.
Worthless and weak, you are.
No offense taken. You’re doing fine, I try too, but sometimes fail. 🖖
Danka, FRiend. We be cool.
Memphis always was corrupt (see Crump machine)
But what is wasn’t was incompetent and had the albatross of an murderous culture around it’s neck
as did I
Looks like Mr. Personality finally got the boot.
Make that the “Zot”, lol.
I see cops in that video that need to be lynched.

Or maybe a police force shouldn’t hire a bunch of animals
