The Memphis Police Chief, obviously an AA hire, tried and convicted the officers before they had their days in court. If the officers did eff up they absolutely must be held accountable but do it the right way.
This type of cheap pandering nothing new. Literally minutes after the first reports of the Tawana Brawley fiasco Fredo's father il Sfaccim Cuomo said "Tawana Brawley is my daughter". Funny,I don't recall him calling the Central Park jogger his daughter. Or Yankel Rosenbaum his son, but I digress.

While it's too early to tell in this case, alcohol and/or drugs are involved in most of these incidents. George Floyd, Jake Blake,Breonna Taylor and most other similar cases, one main takeaway should've been the consequences of substance abuse.

The police chief is an administrator who does indeed get to make decisions about hiring, firing, and referrals for prosecution.

Call it what you will it’s a far sight better than what we used to see with cops killing innocent people and getting away with it scot free.

No white people involved = No riots.

I suspect there will still be riots even though the officers are not white. Ben Crump is on the news practically promising there will be riots. To release the video at 6:00 p.m. on a Friday evening guarantees there will be at least a few riots.

I heard a report this afternoon that many urban schools were canceling this evening’s sporting events and people were buying groceries in preparation for staying home all weekend, much like they do when a snowstorm is expected.

My son is a state trooper in MA. They have all been put on alert for the weekend. He was just telling me he was dreading dealing with drunk college kids in Amherst.

I told him it’s too cold to riot.

Why the hell is the government going to release an extremely violent video of someone getting murdered on a Friday night?

“If the police have got to come and get you they are bringing a beating.” — Chris Rock

If only people watched and took to heart the advice he gave in that skit. It is really good advice no matter what race you may happen to be.

Why Friday night?

People are checking their MegaMillions tickets?

(Seriously, show the video at the same time the lottery is being drawn and then never show it again.)

There’s a RUMOR on Twitter that Tyre was having an affair with the wife of one of the cops involved.

If that’s true, it won’t make any difference. For 5 cops to beat an unarmed man to death is madness. If that’s what happened- can’t know until the video is released.

“There’s a RUMOR on Twitter that Tyre was having an affair with the wife of one of the cops involved.”

Well, that makes sense. While I do not agree with what the cops did, I can certainly understand it.

To quote Chris Rock:
“There’s a good reason to do anything. There’s even a good reason to kick an old man’s ass down a flight of stairs, but you just don’t do it. I can understand it, but you just don’t do it.”

Unless L.A. as in Los Angeles riots......everything else is just amateur hour rioting. L.A. is the standard. If L.A. burns....we have something. Nobody does it better then L.A.
