More Police brutality. More cities burning.
Racist cops are ruining America. This must be stopped.
"It is yet another painful reminder of the profound fear and trauma, the pain, and the exhaustion that Black and Brown Americans experience every single day," Joe Biden on the Memphis cops.
Take a long look at these cops. You just know they were brought up in racist households!!!!

RE: More Police brutality. More cities burning.
The question I want answered is what is the background here. These officers jumped off the reservation of standard police procedures from the start. You don't rush the car the way they did if you think the driver may be armed. So either you know he is unarmed or you are so pissed off that your anger overrides your good sense. So WTF is their background? And why did 5 of them show up immediately for a traffic stop?
It's almost like there was bad blood from something before. And anybody who loses his temper that quickly has no business anywhere on a police force, much less in an elite unit.

RE: More Police brutality. More cities burning.
Is there a better version that actually shows the physical violence?
The video I saw was nothing but them wrestling with the dude (who was clearly resisting arrest) and the cops telling him to give them his hands about 50 times.

A rumor is going around Memphis that one of the cops had a prior run-in with the victim, and he brought his buddies with him to exact revenge.
I have no idea if that is true, but it certainly is being circulated. And would help explain how and why this went down like it did.

That would be my very strong guess. That is the only way I can explain what went down. And if true, that makes it worse.

So, did they burn down my hometown last night?
As for Sleepy Joe, there's that complete lack of self awareness of which I'm always accusing the left.

The problem is rooted DC. If they decided to burn down every building in the district, these protesters would have my support. I’ll bring the gasoline.

RE: More Police brutality. More cities burning.
I watched the video. I missed the violence. Not saying it didn’t happen because it obviously did but I don’t see the dimwits that are protesting getting angry from this video and I would doubt that 1% of 1% of them watched the whole video. Bottom line George Soros is paying “community organizers” to get people protesting. I could be wrong.. but I am not.

RE: More Police brutality. More cities burning.
Well, I saw the violence clear as day. The guy was practically unable to stand and they were propping him up so the others could take cheap shots to his head. Then the guy with the baton was waiting until they positioned him right to take his swing. At least that’s what I saw in the video I watched.

Yes..Not to mention the numerous kicks to the head and torso that they gave him while down. I hope these savages get 20+ for this.

The surveillance video on the pole is the one that easily shows the beating.
Plain as day.

They'll get 30-50 and additional federal time on top.
At least the main 2 who inflicted blows, the others will probably plea out

RE: More Police brutality. More cities burning.
Reckless driving is rampant in the city of Memphis… the I240 loop around the city has been called tge most deadliest section of interstate in the country. By the way they initially reacted, it would not surprise me if they were reacting to a driver who had put others lives in danger.

There are also rumors that the victim was seeing a lady who also dated one of the officers involved. That also could be a factor.
Owl nails the core issue with the bolded points above - SOMETHING motivated the 5 officers to "handle the issue" as a group. The immediate forced withdrawal from his car, the extended beating and then the DELAY in getting the victim to the hospital.

RE: More Police brutality. More cities burning.
Where are these rumors coming? I haven’t seen anything by retweeted blurbs from otherwise unknown people.
Did officers from the initial stop also participate in the beating of Tyre Nichols?

Your rumor actually fits within my rumor. I didn't hear what supposedly caused the grudge. Maybe that was it.

RE: More Police brutality. More cities burning.
Sadly this incident is another example of escalated violence within the black community. I’ve seen it firsthand in my old neighborhood.
What used to cause fistfights now causes shootings. Instead of two guys having a disagreement, settling it in the parking lot with a few punches then going back inside for a drink, young people shoot each other over a perceived slight on social media.
What those officers did looks personal. Part of the escalated violence between blacks. I would guess there is more to this incident then just a traffic stop
