I was probably thinking racist thoughts and they propagated through the atmosphere( white CO2) into the officers’ minds.
I’ll take the blame on this one…

A "confrontation occurred" during the stop, which resulted in police chasing Nichols on foot, police said. He was later apprehended. "While attempting to take the suspect into custody, another confrontation occurred; however, the suspect was ultimately apprehended

Sooooo, the Perp CHOSE to Resist Arrest. Not the Cops, not the Paramedics, the PERP. Once you CHOOSE to Resist Arrest EVERYTHING that follows is on YOU. You'll find Sympathy between "Shit" and "Syphilis" in the Dictionary.

Their minds have been colonized by “whiteness” dontcha know.

But this is what we get when the police have been so demonized and defunded Only the worst of the worst would want to be a cop nowadays.

It will be hard to hide the fact that these were black cops once the video is released. Maybe the rioters will burn black businesses as punishment.

Hahaha.

At least the officers weren’t white

The average person on the street thinks the insurrectionists against whom Kyle Rittenhouse defended himself are black. I kid you not.

Probably waiting until tomorrow to release it in order to give time for the usual instigators to get into town.

What most of these stories are leaving out is that these 5 donut munchers were part of a special unit called the Scorpion unit.

Their behavior was INTENTIONAL. This police chief is throwing them under the bus to evade his own complicity in their crimes.

And I will not be surprised in the least if the video utterly overturns the previous narratives the police have had.

“The average person on the street thinks the insurrectionists against whom Kyle Rittenhouse defended himself are black”

You can thank a despicable media for that

For antifa’s purposes, the cops were blue. And bastards, as all cops are. If things get rockin’ the white folks in BLM will no doubt join in. And the opportunistic looters will burn and pillage. Delays in the release just give the goons lead-time.

What? Are you folks really thinking a bunch of white folk are gonna protest over 5 blacks beating another one to death? Is that the take on this story? Is the Police Chief trying to stir white unrest?

What am I not seeing (besides the video)?

Pallet loads of bricks require a two day waiting period.

What’s the problem? Black on black crime happens every day in the big cities.

Memphis turned into Mogadishu-on-the-Missisippi a long time ago. I put it in my rear view mirror over 50 years ago and never looked back.

Johannesburg of the South. Glad my daughter and son-in-law moved away from there 5 years ago.

It does seem tragic what happened. The kid had no criminal record. But why for the love of God do these boys just take off and run when stopped by the police?? Why can’t they just peacefully cooperate with the police?

We were just there to see Graceland. Memphis is an absolute total dump. Tried to visit Beale street and were accosted by mentally ill homeless all around yelling at us and begging for food.

If they burn it, there won’t be much left for them afterwards and doubt they’d have the wherewithal to rebuild. Hope they leave Graceland alone — there’s been enough heartache there as of late.

Releasing the video on a Friday night will cause a lot of violence. Almost like it was part of the plan.

Releasing the video on a Friday night ensures most people will be home from work and will allow businesses to close is they wish to do so.

It really boggles the mind that otherwise smart people would actually entertain the thought that the leadership of an entire city want to see their own city burned to the ground which would most likely result in them losing their jobs. It's very easy for small-minded people to simply say everything they don't understand is "part of the plan" without actually making a cogent argument.

Well we will just wait and see what happens.

They could have very well waited until Monday morning.

Wait until Monday morning when people need to get to work and are out of their homes and kids are away from their parents on their way to school??? Is this really that difficult to understand???

It’s like telling somebody not to think about a pink elephant.
