Just curious as to what the young man did to cause the police to react so violently.
Since all the police officers are black, and given the machinations of antifa and other global-marxist operations, am wondering if this is some type of blm set-up.
Or is it a marxist-media agit-prop exercise?
Very odd, in any event.
Commie Van Jones at CNN blamed the beating death of Tyre Nichols on racism.
The intent to inflict serious bodily damage resulting in death
2nd degree murder.
Seems pretty clear to me this is an easy case
Well that was sure anti climactic. That build up to this tape was that it was the most brutal thing anyone could ever see.
I saw one doped up scrote, resisting the entire time. Then was able to escape and get away. They locate him again. There were one or two punches that were to the face, and the kick is a no-no. But they tried pepper spray, taser, etc. He resisted going into cuffs the entire time.
Then when they got him subdued, paramedics came up.
It was some excessive force a few times, but this wasn’t the gigantic terror they made it out to be.
I’m no cop but seems to me two, or certainly four, trained police officers, ought to be able to restrain and handcuff a lanky adult male without resorting to beating.
If two of those cops had taken Nichols’ hand and a third put on the handcuffs, none of the havoc would have happened. Instead, they were content to put their finger on the mace button, squeeze the taser trigger and practice their field goal kick on Nichols’ head. That chase gave them a cardio workout which was fueled by Nichols’ belief that he could do anything without any accountability. That lack of accountability goes also for the five heedless cops.
pure....thuggerie
If you resist you very well might die. Therefore, don’t resist. Is that so hard?
I’m reading the replies to this thread. Over 350 so far. It’s very easy to watch these videos, sickening as they are, and jump on the “all cops are scum” bandwagon.
Yet I keep reminding myself and let me remind everyone else, that all local law enforcement officers are but a representation of the people in the community they work for.
When you have far too many low class, low life, BLM racist, drug addled welfare clowns who vote again and again for Democrats, then you’re going to have, quite naturally, a police force made up of thugs and punks with a badge like what we see here in Memphis. Especially when good decent law abiding cops see no choice but to leave or else.
I count myself quite fortunate that I have lived all my life in a white upper class suburb without the gangs, welfare queens and other filthy problems that Memphis and other cities like it deserve.
And then 7 years ago I moved to a county here in Texas that is 97% white. So it’s easy for me to support the thin blue line. LEO’s are just like me.
Just like the cops in Memphis are just like the people in Memphis.
So much for having more black cops on the force.
I’ve only watched one video thus far and my takeaway is how many cops does it take to subdue a guy? It was 1 on 4, it should’ve taken them 10 seconds to get him on the ground, cuffed and into the back of the squad car.
Everyone commenting on this should watch the videos carefully. The phrase "Gimmie yo' hands" was shouted dozens of times and the suspect refused to comply. I feel sympathy for the dead man and his family, but this is now the present quality level of law enforcement in many of our large metropolitan areas. It looks to me as if these recordings were over-hyped and released on a Friday evening to achieve maximum riot inducing effect. As more and more qualified law enforcement officers move to careers in other fields, we will all be left with more brutish and poorly trained police like the the ones in this incident. The only thing worse will be the lack of policing that will result from us eventually firing them.
I watched Donut Operator’s livestream on Youtube to see the videos. Donut is an ex-Spartanburg SC cop and SWAT team member who made some pretty good points. They were screaming at him to roll over onto his stomach while one of them had his left arm pinned in a position where he couldn’t roll over. They were slinging OC spray around like Febreze after a fart, which he noted was really only ever used by his department to deter aggressive dogs or break up a crowd, NOT used on a suspect where officers would be rolling around on the ground with him. So they wound up spraying themselves and each other.
There’s no way that four or five big burly 200+ pound cops would be unable to restrain one skinny suspect. But they weren’t really even trying. Between all the pepper spray and the incredibly poor technique and training, they just went feral and beat the hell out of the guy. One cop, after OC-spraying *himself*, came running back in and dropped a running soccer kick straight to the suspect’s head. And after all that and they finally got him cuffed, they proceed to render no aid to him for an extended period of time. EMS that arrived didn’t even look like they were particularly interested in helping Tyre out.
Basically, you couldn’t get a room temperature IQ out of those cops if you combined all five of them. That wasn’t an arrest, it was a gang jumping from five subhuman power-tripping thugs who somehow got through whatever passes for a police academy in Memphis. I hope they enjoy getting “turnt out” in prison because that’s where they belong. This was actually worse than the Rodney King beating because King was resisting with violence, Tyre wasn’t (yes he was not obeying commands but he was also getting conflicted commands shouted at him and was getting repeatedly sprayed).
I’m pro-cop for the most part but this was completely inexcusable.
