Once again, Memphis did not sink to the level of racist rednecks & outside agitators.

No Hibbett’s store was looted, no shopping center was set on fire.

Proud of my city for how they handled tonight.

I agree. The cops were over the top from the beginning. Im not sure I would not have resisted this arrest also. It looked like a gang beating more than an arrest. I hope these thugs go away for a long time.

Rememer, CNN's Van Jones said this was pure racism...What the actual heyl is wrong with Leftists/Commies? That makes zero sense, and his spin only made it worse. Trying to dialog with these Leftist-worshipping idiots seems futile. The poor guy is dead. Horrible to watch.

You understand that racism isn’t exclusive to only one race pitted against another, right?

I don’t understand that, no.

It seems to be all race all the time with those on the left side of the ledger. That’s horrible and lends to the massive divide in this country.
The constant racial flames are fanned by the left. Constantly. This particular case had nothing to do with race, other than the fact that the parties are all black.
This is a terrible situation and we all feel for the family and the victim himself.

But don’t cry wolf on this one. Just don’t.

I’m not saying this didn’t have more to the story than cop vs. civilian, because the full story hasn’t come out yet. If rumors are to be believed, this was a personal vendetta that a cop got his buddies in on to basically put in a professional hit job.

But as a general statement, racism is not just one race vs. another.

Ok, you lost me there TG, If racism is not defined by race v race, then what is it defined as? Sexism is defined by biological sex, Elitism is defined by those with higher academic or social class v. those that are not in those classes, Marxism is defined as those that follow the teachings of Karl Marx. Why is this definition different and more nuanced to the left?
You know that answer, as do I. White supremacy and racism have such a broad practical interpretation because it keeps the money flowing, the media engaged, and the masses divided.

All this for a domestic dispute.

Those 5 black cops must have identified as white.

BTW I think the Memphis PD may need some new diversity hiring goals.

It’s libtard logic-

Black cops are white supremicists
Men can get pregnant
Follow the science
We’re not in a recession


Half the country are complete idiots

Friday night in Memphis was peaceful.

Let's hope it lasts all weekend.

I think this is a milestone for the city, and I think the rest of the state will take note of it.

Sounds like things went ok last night. Especially if the morning news goes straight to the attorney and not video off the bat.

Imagine that. Immediate accountability and justice in the eyes of the law, and the widespread destruction you all were on pins and needles waiting for... Didn't happen.

So all the violence in the past is justified because justice didn't move quickly enough for you? George Floyd? Seriously?

It seems those who are claiming this was motivated by racism are using the general attitude in critical race theory, knowingly or unknowingly. Other than the study of how race attitudes affect law and society it's not really clear what critical race theory is. (I've tried you can't really get a better definition) As such, CRT doesn't seem to be very "critical" of itself and it's assertions that the (social construct) called "race" and racism underpins our culture. That is, our institutions and way of life are "systemically racist." But since it's an assertion its thrown out there without any evidence other than disparate outcomes. That is if you have unequal outcomes then the cause is racism. The "race" part of critical race theory then asserts that since systemic racism underpins our culture even people of the same race can unconsciously be racist against their own "race" ----- and "race" is "social construct" (that is a made-up term used to categorize people). The theory part of critical race theory, as far as I can tell, is there to make it sound more like a science. This isn't science like physics or chemistry or even geology. It's really not even a science like psychology. It appears to me that it's a term used to give the whole idea a certain cache it doesn't have on its own. So at the end of it all you have an idea that's not falsifiable because it's based on conclusions already full born. A "theory" that explains everything and so explains nothing. A "theory" who's assertions are not based on evidence and who's assertions based on those assertions, also not based on evidence, allows you to say that this and that activity is motivated by racism.... Without having to point to any evidence of such. That ignores the wide disparity of attitudes found in a population of 330 million people. And ignores the positive outcomes of certain minority groups, like Asians or folks immigrating from India who have the highest per capita incomes, when making their claims of systemic racism.

So that's why you will hear people saying, without evidence, that the Memphis cops were motivated by racism. And if you deny this you are a victim of those same racial ideas whether you know it or not.

Wait, what? By your "logic" it's possible for two people, or a group of people, of the same race to be racist against each other? GTFO with that psychobabble.

That's one of the stupidest general statements I've heard in a long time. What the hell? Do better.

Thank you

There really should be a course in strictly complying with initial contact police orders no matter how unjust it seems or what you feel is correct. If it's unjust, lawyers line up for Section 1983 cases due to the attorney's fees provision.

These cops are friggin goons but he fed those rabid dogs the red meat by resisting and running and resisting.

I'm sure a toxicology report will be forthcoming.

It's just so ironic that they attempt to adhere to the principles of DIT when 95% of city employees and likely a similar number of cops are black. I've rarely ever seen brown cops and there are certainly far fewer white ones than black ones.

If you don't believe it take a walk through 201 Poplar, city hall or any municipal office.
