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.
The rumor in Memphis is that Tyre had slept with one of the officers wife and they hunted him down.
Yes, did those cops, in some way, know him prior to the initial stop? Did they know his car, where he lived, who he hung out with, and set him up?
Why would he just get up and resist/run unless he knew he was in at least some danger (of losing his freedom, of catching a beating, or worse?
Those cops, KNOWING they were on body cams, beat the hell out of, and kill him. Why? Why? Whyyyyyy?!
That would certainly make sense.
