Why is this important?
Time to turn my scanner app on I guess.
The police were acting like an out of control street gang.
The only thing good about this is no white cops were involved.
They couldn’t have hyped this more if they’d released trailers…..
Former Memphis PD Officers CHARGED in Tyre Nichols Death
Tyre Nichols: What is the 'Scorpion' unit of Memphis police?
Tyre Nichols death: Former Memphis police officers charged with second-degree murder

Who shot the Video 2 is from a pole camera?
It doesn’t matter that the cops were black, it’s time to steal some stuff from liquor stores, walmart, target, etc. and break windows./s
Have to say if you were sitting on the jury it looks really difficult to not convict.
They started the whole traffic stop out in confrontational mode.
The first story was he was reckless driving. Then it became he was wanted for reckless driving the night before. Now it’s that they had no reason to pull him over.
Really there is no other word for what these cops did than evil.
Scenario: 5 black cops kill black perp.
Black Memphis residents’ response: “KILL WHITEY!!!”
Excessive force by police officers needs to be publicized regardless of the race of either the cops or the criminal/victim.
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.
Not very much of a rent a mob. Not very good at community organizing.
It looks to me that this was a case of someone resisting arrest. The media, including Fox News, are already convicting the officers. How did this young man bleed to death in a hospital?
Police scanners across the US. Memphis is now above 10,000 listeners (which is a lot for the site IMO). https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/top
Maybe those cops were fully vaccinated with the Covid poison,and the exertion triggered something in their bodies adrenaline-wise.

Everybody knows - if the police have to come and get you - they’re bringing an ass-kicking with them.
Breaks my heart as a mother who has lost a son.
