What's different about this police killing?

Why isn't CSP and all police doing the usual "hrmm reasonable fear for their lives, isolated incident, internal matter" act?

Because the hour of footage makes it pretty clear it’s indefensible.

Did you watch it? Those 5 cops beat Tyre Nichols to death.

Not yet. We've been hearing and reading and seeing and singing about police beating a black body to death while he begged for his mother, it feels like, every year for decades. Just not sure I need more videos to visualize the story, after reading some of tonight's reporting. I'll maybe read the arrest warrant and the ME report, like the others, maybe a judicial order, if something unexpected happens in court, I'll look for the video later to see if any of these piglets cry at their sentencing.

I think it's nice to see some unity in condemning police treatment toward certain men. I also think I know why for some people it's super easy, damn near convenient, to demand justice this time, otherwise I might ask what took so long? Nobody has to trip over themselves or even do one backflip for these five, just lit them up.

Makes me sad.

>Check out the message in a rough stylee The real criminals are the see-O-P You check for undercover and the one PD But just a mere Black man, them want check me Them check out me car for it shine like the sun But them jealous or them vexed cause them can't afford one

>Black people still slaves up 'til today But the Black police officer nah see it that way Him want a salary Him want it So he put on a badge and kill people for it

>My grandfather had to deal with the cops My great-grandfather dealt with the cops My great grandfather had to deal with the cops And then my great, great, great, great, when it's gonna stop?! Woop-woop, That's the sound of da police, that's the sound of the beast

Nah dude. You watch that shit. I'll watch it if I get called to sit on the jury. Otherwise I've seen enough.

So you won’t watch it, but you’ll have plenty of opinions on it anyway? Okay bro. Makes sense. You wrote a very long comment about a thing you don’t even watch. Got it.

Your first time seeing this sort of thing?

Does the information you gleaned from witnessing a car accident apply to all car accidents?

AhbabaOooMaoMao t1_j68p7d3 wrote

I don't think such a general analogy really fits. It's more like I've witnessed not one car accident, but dozens of the same kind of car accident and hundreds of similar ones, and read the accident reports and autopsy reports, and also have degrees in each driving science and driving law.

You haven't seen the facts of this incident so that's something you can't know.

Black guy beat to death by multiple cops while he begged for his mom.

I know I've seen that too many times.

Because this is a unanimous "what the fuck, assholes?" opinion held by police country world wide. No cop can condone this gangland style beating.

MyGodItsFullOfClowns t1_j670c99 wrote

Yeah, sure. Cops country world wide condemned it last time it happened and they'll condemn it the next time it happens and every time after that but they won't stop doing things like this.

Well no gang enforcement unit anymore in the gang area. Congratulations Memphis.

AhbabaOooMaoMao t1_j6d2sk8 wrote

Yes this is fantastic news. It was a gang unit in name, in practice it was a street crime unit.

I'm sure beating people like this is routine work for a unit named SCORPION.

Neither approach to law enforcement prevents crime, actually causes more.
