What do you think would have happened to him if he had immediately allowed himself to be placed in the prone position and had his wrists cuffed? Why did he think resisting arrest and then running off was going to make the situation any better at the beginning?

In the protests, almost all the faces are white.

Yep. That’s how most of them are. Even the St. Floyd marches in 2020.

he was calling for his mom so she must have lived close

I once read the same thing about our troops in a terrible attack in Vietnam, the one concerning that movie "We Were Soldiers Once, and Young"—that in real life, some of the soldiers were calling for their mothers as they lay wounded and dying.

I imagine it is almost a primal response, and probably has always gone on in horrible warfare, but has been hushed up because of the heartrending shame our brave youths would feel if it were known. I cried for an hour after I read that account, having known many guys who went to Vietnam.

“Maybe they try to float the idea that the 5 Black Cops weren’t really Black.”

Maybe they were trans-white?

His mother’s house was within 50 or 60 yards of where he was beaten.

It really depends on whether this was truly just a traffic stop, and they didn’t know him, or if this was something else entirely, and he knew exactly who they were, what it was about, and what they intended to do.

Guess that explains the kidnapping charge.

and shooting another one to death in the back who was climbing through a broken window?

He shot directly at her full frontal, and it hit her in the neck.

Cause of death was cardiac arrest and kidney failure.

If his skull actually cracked, he probably would’ve died of a hematoma before he got to the hospital.

Of course, autopsy not out, but with this little info, sounds like drug use contributing.

“So how do you train police?”

Defund them?

VIMEO doesn’t like my old browser, are these vids posted anywhere else? I haven’t found them on YouTube yet.

Yes, I think the one from video one was pissed and I believe he’s the one that came up in video 2 for the face kicks. He was mad about the pepper spray in his eyes.

The cops really effed this one up, it was horrible.

In the video the officer hitting him with the asp?! You can hear the blows and immediately following you can hear what sounds like Tyre is seriously injured and unable to form words.

This is gruesome brutality beyond reasonable control. Tyre was on the ground held down and beaten in the head with an asp?

I bought an ASP.

The material supplied by the manufacturer clearly states not to use the baton to strike the head.

Well, yeah. Plenty of unjustified shootings of whites by trigger happy cops...

Remember during the riots in 2020, all over cities they painted ACAB everywhere. (All Cops Are Bastards)

But so many cops just standing around watching and or participating in beating this guy to death?

If the huge majority of cops are good, it seems a bit odd so many bad one’s responded to this call.

What are the odds?
