You are right. LE should absolutely have the right to judge, try, and execute on the spot as needed...

I’m not going to be surprised if there are more random ambush killings of cops. I heard that these five were not in custody. Can’t say I’d care if street justice found them.

“I’m not going to be surprised if there are more random ambush killings of cops.”

And that is what the others do not realize when they defend or coverup actions like this from their own peers. There is going to be blowback and they are actually endangering themselves in the long run. Cause and effect.

Willful ignorance of subversion and conspiracy is just as complicit as being directly involved in the subversion and conspiracy.

Want to see the drug tests on the victim, too. He wasn’t acting like an innocent citizen.

All five of these guys are ‘chunky’ (at least 30 pounds over average weight). They might have lifted some weights, but put into a fight...I doubt if they had any real stamina for the job. The only thing that would have improved their odds...would be drugs.

The victim might have been stupid on complying, but nothing like this makes sense to beat the guy to near-death. Common sense from the five cops? Invisible.

Sounds like they never learned standard correct English. I thought Police Officers needed some skill of correct and polite speech to be on the beat.

Yeah. These goons hung a target on the back of every cop in the country, and added fuel to antifa’s ACAB narrative.

Interesting how, once they get the cuffs on, all the cops stop hitting and back off.

Maybe that’s what they were really trying to do all along.

Is it possible that the way Tyre reacted to a simple stop...was ...unusual? Why did he RESIST so much. That is unnatural. A person would just stop fighting the police for a simple stop, unless he had other reactions on his mind.

“He wasn’t acting like an innocent citizen.”

Then the execution was justified...

I noted that. There was an episode of “COPS” (now gone, because it portrayed blacks in a bad light) in which a fat black cop walks up to some black kids sitting on a curb, and asks “Why you ain’t in schoo’?”

I suppose that there’s something to be said for communicating in a language understood by the community, but I might need a translator for some of that gibberish. And three people talking at once seems to be standard behavior.

Exactly. They sound like ghetto cops or just ghetto. One has to wonder if Tyre tough they weren’t cops at all.

“Yeah. These goons hung a target on the back of every cop in the country, and added fuel to antifa’s ACAB narrative.”

Yes they did... And it doesn’t take very many brain cells to understand that they themselves endangered a lot of their own peers. They had him down and were on top of him. All they had to do was wait him out until he tired. Instead they got carried away with their own authoritarianism... “Civilian is not IMMEDIATELY obeying commands nail him!”.

They even let him up off the ground so they could taze him. Was that really needed? When they already had him down? No it was pure and simple authoritarianism.. “I will teach him what happens when he doesn’t obey me!” Well they taught him alright. They taught him to death, a lesson he will never forget.

He must have been pretty law abiding…he worked as a FedEx driver, so I doubt that he even had a lot of traffic tickets. And at no point did they ever think he was armed.

He seems to have been a fairly harmless guy, and was actually a skateboarder and spent a lot of his free time on it. I think he simply wasn’t used to police contact and panicked.

Also, I think they were just government-empowered bullies and saw him as weak and an easy target. They wanted to “teach him a lesson” about their power and importance.

There is also the issue of general police and EMS incompetence that the City of Memphis should be looking at.

I believe the police chief already said that it did not corroborate with what was said.

Bingo. One would think the word was out to not resist arrest.
All this was for a traffic violation? There has to be more to the story.

It was not a “simple stop.”

Watch the first video. The stop was not typical. They dragged him out of his car. No put your hands on the wheel, no asking for ID. He was on the ground by his car with 4 (?) cops surrounding him holding him down and one appears to taser him. With what appears to be several time or attempts, it is then Tyre struggles to get away and runs.

Honestly, watch video 1 and consider that a normal traffic stop? There was nothing ‘normal’ in the way the cops stopped him.

That was how Britain ruled its massive empire; get some of the colonized to police the rest of them.

Any productive people left should strongly consider leaving Memphis now, not because of any retribution from the thugs but because policing will stop completely as a result.
