Look at the videos; Tyre couldn't even stand so they held him up to get more of a beating, eventually using a baton to crack his head open.
It must have been an all white jury of Midtown liberals.
Riots and assorted mayhem to begin this evening? God help the good citizens of Memphis.
Does Memphis have a significant Korean community? Good lanes of fire from the rooftop?
Ridiculous. They murdered that boy.
It was a total white jury. I’m surprised the prosecutor let that happen. I guess murder is okey-dokey in America today.
I watched the videos. Sickening.
I guess those who were acquitted didn’t actually beat Tyre to death, but just sure stood around watching.
Maybe there were so many other cops killing Tyre that they just couldn’t fight their way in.
If you drive the get-away car for a bank robbery and the person you’re driving kills someone you get charged too.
Maybe they didn’t deliver the fatal blow but they sure helped make sure that happened.
The cops are black.
They also got convicted of federal charges.
The article mentions that jury was “all white” and that the deceased was black... Did they mention all five officers involved were black?
How did they manage to find an all-White jury in Memphis?
You can imagine if the cops were White what would have happened.
They were all black.
That’s why I said the all white jury must have been full of a bunch of bleeding heart liberals.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the defense didn’t hand select a jury pool from liberal areas of town knowing they could lead them around by the nose emotionally.
I can’t believe they didn’t even get accessory to murder.
“I can’t believe they got away with this. “
From your article excerpt — “The three defendants still face the prospect of years in prison after they were convicted of federal charges last year, though they were acquitted of the most serious charges then, too.”
“”Mills and another officer involved in the beating, Emmitt Martin, have agreed to plead guilty to the state charges and did not stand trial under deals with prosecutors. They also pleaded guilty in federal court, where sentencing for all five officers is pending.””
For those who didn’t read the article and wonder who in the devil Martin is, this explains it..Nothing like leaving out details when excerpting...
This is not going to sit well in Memphis. I worked with Tyre and he was totally innocent unlike these scumbags.
All of Memphis was pissed off by this...
Well, you and Justice Ginsburg agree.
It’s been this way for 250 years.
Yes, he was a boxmaker.
I’m familiar with FedEx because we contract all our shipments with them.
This verdict is ridiculous.
Wouldn’t have happened if Nichols had submitted to arrest and maybe sued later — as a white guy would have done.
The judiciary is Interested in teaching the country apart. Soros Cloward Piven plans
I’m with you, it was sickening.
BTW: How exactly does someone get an all-white jury in Memphis? Derek Chauvin pay-back?
