Perhaps it is their intent to do some urban re-development?

Defies Humanity? I’ll be the judge of that.

One of these days when the video gets released.

“I wonder why they decided to release the video at 5pm on a Friday?”

Because “they” will have had all day (since “they” don’t work) to get all liquored up and will need refills by 5:00. (and TVs by midnight).

“The officers have three to six years of experience. All were members of SCORPION, a group of about 50 officers assembled a year earlier to deal with the high number of serious crimes. The officers ride unmarked cars and wear plainclothes with a bullet-proof vest marked POLICE.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Tyre_Nichols

“Tyre Nichols was a 29-year-old man who died on January 10, 2023, three days after a traffic stop by five Memphis Police Department officers. According to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), he was stopped on January 7 for reckless driving, ran from an encounter with police and then had another. After he complained of shortness of breath, an ambulance took him to the hospital. An autopsy commissioned by his family found ‘extensive bleeding caused by a severe beating.’”

“Excessive bail shall not be required”

Amendment VIII

Without bail the legal system might enter an arrest, incarcerate & forget mode.

Let’s see how the RATS treat this one, they can’t blame it on white supremacy.

Pffffft. Of course they can and likely will. In fact, I'll be surprised if they don't.

“Black on Black, nobody cares.”

There is a looting opportunity in the community.

Now it will be black on black and the media won’t care.

Does it honestly matter? Even in King’s case, he was on the ground getting the hell beat out of him. At what point does it become a crime? If the guy ran, ok. If he is taken to the ground handcuff him. The extracurricular ass beatings including kicking, pummeling, tasing, and clubbing is a step too far regardless of what transpired 30 minutes before. There is no context for what could amount to a lynching by uniformed officers of the law.

Followed the Rodney King case.

Often wondered why MADD did not speak out. If the cops had let King go, he could have caused an accident. They did not know whether or not he was under the influence.

Pity it was only the latter part of the video that was shown ad nauseam. The earlier footage sows him mooning the lady officer.

Well, since we all know there will be a major riot, why not preempt it by nuking Memphis at noon.

My mom and I were going cross country in late 79. We stayed in Memphis. All night all we heard were police sirens. My mom asked where are we in Hell? I said no, but close.

Looks close to any hiphop beatdown you see on tiktok without the face kicking and curb stomping.

If Nichols was not driving recklessly, he should have fought it in court. Fighting the police who are trying to give you the ticket is a bad idea.

Now, the police officers will have their opportunity to make their case in court, though, as we saw in the George Floyd case, facts didn't matter.

We have been watching law and order being dismantled in favor of the criminal. Already, we can read of instances throughout the country where criminals are free to steal and burglarize without consequences because the police have become unwilling to pursue them.

Don’t fight the cops, then you don’t get your head caved in.
That’s so easy even a caveman could figure it out!

I remember Rush covering Rodney King on this TV show. Rush showed King attacking the officers, high on PCP with the tazer wires hanging off of him. Rush played it over and over.
This was after the long police chase.

With that said. I miss Rush and I wonder what we will find out about Tyre.
