Not a justification for him being beaten to death, but it sees Tyre simply refused to comply. Cops will ALWAYS escalate in such a situation.
Another life that could have been saved if only he’d listened to Chris Rock....

Some years ago Chris Rock did a great video called “How Not To Get Your A$$ Kicked By The Police”. His basic point was don’t do stupid stuff,don’t resist,don’t run and you’ll be OK.
How many times did they say, “Give me your hands!”? He didn’t. He did not want to be cuffed. This went on for a while.
I know my old white @$$ could not get away with defying the cops this long.
“We sleep soundly in our beds, because rough men stand ready in the night to do violence on those who would harm us.”
—George Orwell
You gotta be a rough man to be a cop. I wouldn’t want to be.
