5 Memphis Police Officers Fired After Suspect Dies

[pknopp]

I didn't say it won't be covered, but it won't have the same staying power in the news cycle than it would if the cops were white.

Seems to be going pretty strong even though there is one important difference here than in cases in the past. The police officers are being held accountable. It's not even a major news story if that happens.

Tyre Nichols and the muted response of Black Lives Matter

The reaction to the brutal death of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old, after he was stopped by police has been strangely muted. Nichols, a father-of-one, died of his injuries on 10 January, three days after a confrontation with five black officers in Memphis, Tennessee. Lawyers for the family said...

blm sticking their noses in,. and it was black cops who did it. black on black crime.

All indication suggest that this is going to be a bad one when we get to see the video of what happened.

Maybe with race not being a factor here, we will be able to address the actual issue: police incompetence.

Could it be because they were fired and have been charged, see if these cops were white it would take a year or 2 before they would even be fired.

They were COPS you ignorant, racist hag. COPS murdering unarmed and innocent black folks is what got BLM started.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

It's funny you don't see all the right wing cop lovers running to the defense of these black cops. Why is that?

I wonder how the national media will cover this one.

This could be interesting.

​

Five Memphis Police officers who were involved in the arrest of a 29-year-old suspect who died, have been fired amid growing unrest in the city, radio station KWAM NewsTalk Memphis reports.​

​

Tyre Nichols had been pulled over by officers on Jan.7 and the police department said there had been some sort of confrontation. Nichols ran away, but was later arrested and another confrontation occurred.​

​

The 29-year-old then complained of shortness of breath and was taken to the hospital. He died three days later.​

​

Investigators have yet to reveal any details of the traffic stop – including why Nichols ran away from police.​

​

His family posted a photograph showing Nichols with a badly beaten and disfigured face. He had also been intubated. Many citizens were horrified by the extent of injuries the young man had sustained.​

​

Police Chief C.J. Davis announced Friday night that the five officers involved in the arrest of Nichols had violated multiple department policies including excessive use of force, duty to intervene and duty to render aid.​

​

“Earlier today, each officer charged was terminated from the Memphis Police Department,” the police chief said.​

if even one of the police were white, funded blm would be burning and looting all of the small businesses investing in urban Memphis.

They were fired and charged, what the hell do they need to protest about?

Why is that genuis? Could it be because if they were white, they would be on administrative leave (still getting paid) and probably would never be charged.

If true ?? These 5 cops should all be in prison

 

[pknopp]

They were fired and charged, what the hell do they need to protest about?

We have seen in the last few days quite a few cases where the police officers have been fired and charged over their actions. These kinds of things simply weren't done in the past. That we are making progress shows the protests have made an impact.

Now will all get convicted? Probably not. All might not even be guilty but there is still far, far, far too many who believe the way things were done in the past is the right way to do things and if we go back to that, things will burn again.

The race power fiefdoms and the police power fiefdoms have tentacles that reach within each other if of the same when the hate game is enacted.

 

[CarlinAnnArbor]

Perhaps because the chief motivating factor in what they did to this man wasn't his race....furthermore, police brutality is wrong whether it is racially motivated or not....


Again, why isn't the murder of an unarmed man at the hands of the state not troubling to you? Is it because he wasn't wearing a MAGA hat and trying to breach a secured location inside the Capitol building?

Your response seems softened, knowing the 5 were black.

This on WAS murder

Bullshit. BLM for hire doesn’t burn, loot, and beat in inner cities because a white cop is on administrative leave. Do you really believe that?

Why was BLM created? Don't give me the right wing version.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Responding to Superbadbrutha:

“Why was BLM created? Don’t give me the right wing version.”

Who gives a flying fuck as to how how and why BLM was created when they are either or condoning the burning, looting, and beatings in black neighborhoods. Regardless of the answer you get from myself or the bullshit retort you provide, how about asking BLM as to why they participate or condone destruction of Black neighborhoods?
