Weren’t there two stops? The first one the victim made the mistake of trying run over one of the officers and then flee?

Okay, just looked it up and the answer is No. There was one stop and then a brief foot pursuit.
There’s another option.
The victim was “swatted”....
As in, some information was passed to the squad that this was a bad guy....
This makes sense of the senseless....
RE: The first one the victim made the mistake of trying run over one of the officers and then flee?
Where was this reported? Can you please share the source link with us?
???
No, they yanked him out of the car right away. I think they pepper-sprayed him, then Tased him.
He got away while one of the cops was dealing with the pepper-spray in his own eyes.
Just watch video #1 at the Memphis website. It's not that long.
I’ll take Odd Memphis Police Actions for $1,000. Alex!
See post #4
None of the victim’s alleged traffic violations were capstured on any dash or body cam.
And none of it explains why the first stop was violent from the outset
Yeah, I was typing while you were posting that. You know that they were beating on him less than 75 yards away from his mother’s house? Not even a full sand wedge.
And please note that these officers were NOT in standard police uniforms.
They were in black jackets.
At no time did they appear to properly identify themselves. And no screaming "Police" is not properly identifying themselves. I can scream Police. Does not make me an officer.
So you are sitting at a corner and five guys in black rush you, pull open your door and drag you out of the car.
Is your response, "why how can I help you officers?" Or is it "Oh Sweet baby cthulhu, I am being car jacked?"
I think the author’s mistake is expecting that senseless biolence must have a hidden rationale that will make it make srnsr once discovered.
Maybe it’s just a reflection of the senselessly violent culture they were immersed in.
They fired 3 firehouse EMTs for standing around with their heads up their butts doing nothing
Good riddance they should be charged for failure to render aid
The story is staggering around looking for a place to die and I’m quite ready to let it do that.
“ None of the victim’s alleged traffic violations were capstured on any dash or body cam.”
That’s because there were no violations
“ Okay, just looked it up and the answer is No. There was one stop and then a brief foot pursuit.”
Correct. Stopped him for no reason and immediately pulled him and out and started going after with a taser. That’s when he ran on foot like anybody with feet would do after being attacked
The Feds have done such a good job with the DOJ and FBI, by all means, let them set standards for local police./sarc
Perhaps Tyre was a witness to some sort of gang/illegal activity that involved these officers. And the officers knew it.
There was a story several years ago out of Baltimore where an "elite" police task force were using their authority/status to shake down citizens. Could this have been happening in Memphis, considering that one of the officers was charged at one time for beating up an inmate and the Memphis chief had been fired from the Atlanta PD?
I suppose if I was a reporter, I would look into that.
