True.

Rodney King fled from police and was on PCP.

This guy? We are just seeing the end after he ran but sure seems like he had good reason to run!

Rodney King video seems far worse but could just be we’ve become jaded to seeing videos by now.

Why is this important?

Gotta get the Biden documents and Paul Pelosi off the front page somehow.

I agree. Police that violate the law should simply be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Those that use police violence to justify their own violence need to also be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Unfortunately, justice is no longer blind, and we are rapidly approaching anarchy and unlimited violence.

It looks to me that this was a case of someone resisting arrest. The media, including Fox News, are already convicting the officers. How did this young man bleed to death in a hospital?

Totally agree. A disabled white man was shot 7 times and no whites rioted.

Police scanners across the US. Memphis is now above 10,000 listeners (which is a lot for the site IMO). https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/top

Yes.

This is manufactured.

It’s all black cops who did it. It’s not a BLM type situation.

But it’s the best they can do. They plan their operations and have to use what they can.

I am watching this video, and I have to wonder if it might be gang related.

It doesn’t matter that the cops were black, it’s time to steal some stuff from liquor stores, walmart, target, etc. and break windows./s

I would actually have a higher opinion of the black community if they DID have as much of a fit over this as they would had the cops been white.

THat is because the liberal media only showed you the 2nd part of the video. They never showed him fighting officers and damn near killing them.

Maybe those cops were fully vaccinated with the Covid poison,and the exertion triggered something in their bodies adrenaline-wise.

They are really whaling on him...and one of the guys ought to try out as punter for Dallas. That was a full fledged drop kick mode.

Thank-you for watching and relaying. I have buddies in law enforcement. Older guys who say younger cops are trained the same as military. They can’t wait to retire. I suspect we will see more of this as those of my age leave.

The police were acting like an out of control street gang.

What was the rationale for yanking him out of the car? Seemed they amped up pretty fast.

Gang-related, or those cops are corrupt and he owed them money, or... something.

How many times did they say, “Give me your hands!”? He didn’t. He did not want to be cuffed. This went on for a while.

Tyre did everything wrong in a physical altercation with police - he yelled back, he struggled, he kicked, he ran. Its like his brain shut off and he was operating on pure adrenalin.

It doesn't justify his being beaten to death, and at this point, we don't know the justification for stopping him in the first place.

But like every major Police scandal there is - from Rodney King to Michael Brown to George Floyd - it began with a perp who refused to submit.

So how do you train police? Well, subdue the perp, especially if he fights you - "but not too much!"

Or if they resist, just let the perp go?

Was the kid yelling “Mom” when he was down on ground, or did I hear things?
