Finally, a cop related death can’t be attributed to white LEO’s. All five involved are black, as was the victim. Looks like Memphis won’t be burning. It will be most interesting to see how this plays out. I live outside of Memphis so I’ll be watching closely. The “good reverend” Al Sharpton is coming to give the eulogy and get his mug in the pics. He can’t waste a case like this.

Quick - someone put out the call for Benjamin Crump to defend these black officers. Ah. Wait a minute... Uh...

“Why would the deceased man’s record matter in the slightest to him being beaten to death by five cops?”

Because when the cops do something horribly wrong they usually start their narrative by smearing the victim.

Case in point of the cops smearing their victims is this case that came up in the past few days:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11664527/Ive-shot-Shocking-moment-shows-North-Carolina-police-shooting-unarmed-disabled-man.html

The video shows what happened but when the event took place here’s the lies thugs with badges released to the media:

https://newschannel9.com/news/local/swat-team-members-shoot-man-who-confronted-officers-in-murphy-nc-sheriff-says-cherokee-bear-paw-road-jason-harley-kloepfer

“December 13, 2022 report, based on a press release by the Cherokee County Sherriff’s Office
A man from Murphy, North Carolina is now recovering in a Chattanooga hospital after SWAT team members shot him after they say he confronted officers, according to the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office.

A post on Facebook from the sheriff’s office says the incident happened late Monday night at a home near the 1800 block of Upper Bear Paw Road.

Dispatchers got a call reporting several shots fired at the address.

Deputies on the scene were unable to make contact with the man inside the home.

Fearing there may be a hostage situation underway, deputies got a search warrant and called in the Cherokee Indian Police Department SWAT Team for help.

The man, later identified as 41-year-old Jason Harley Kloepfer, ‘engaged in a verbal altercation with officers and emerged from a camper trailer and confronted officers,’ the post says.

That’s when members of the Cherokee Indian Police SWAT team shot and wounded him.

He was taken to Erlanger hospital in Chattanooga, and at last word he was in stable condition.

The post says Kloepfer is charged with communicating threats and resist, obstruct, and delay, and that more charges may follow.

If anyone has any information about this incident, contact the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office Investigation’ s Division at 828 837-2589.”

Does any of that BS square with what you can see in the video? No, not at all.

They LIED to cover this up and then hoped it would go away. And now it’s public and these vermin will invoke ‘sovereign immunity’ for trying to murder a man and then cover it up.

Because if,by chance,he had a history of trouble with police...or the law...that could suggest that this was something other than a “murder”. Not *prove*...just suggest. As I said initially any videos that might exist would,obviously,be pivotal. And I also said initially any disciplinary problems the cops may have had...depending on the type and severity...could suggest that the guy's death was unjustified.

All five of them look like White Supremacists for sure.

One of the cops beat a guy unconscious last year. Supposedly the video coming out is going to be stomach churning. Like 3 minutes of really, really bad stuff.

He was driving too fast, and ran when they tried to stop him.

Yep...that’s a good reason to beat him to death.

OK...if there's a video (bodycam,a bystander) that clearly shows what happened...and what didn't happen...then that can be,and should be,used as evidence either to help the cops or incriminate them.

Think back...the video of Saint George Floyd that was shown a million times didn't tell the whole story.The full video showed Saint George to be a fraud,as did the drugs in his system and his past criminal history.

The cops have been indicted for murder. To me, that says his death was unjustified. The video is heinous.

OK...let's see the video. As for what they've been charged with just remember: there are January 6th trespassers who've been in jail for 2 years.

The Chief of Police had to do a 10 minute speech on TV just to prepare everybody for what’s on the video. Its going to be really bad. Like Rodney King on steroids.

OK...but he needn’t prepare me. I worked for years in a big city ER. I’ve seen every type of death one can imagine. Of course if the video shows that the “beating” wasn’t justified my vote would be “guilty”. If it only shows that the injuries were bad then...

I don’t think it would be wise to visit a place where there is no diversity....couldn’t they have had at least one token whitey?
