Tyre Nichols body cam footage

[JusticeHammer]

If he didn't fight back why was he not in handcuffs when they tried to get his hands behind his back? If he was not fighting back the first officer wouldn't have had to pull him out of the car.

Exactly

 

[JusticeHammer]

Initially while complaining, he was trying to do what the officers were telling him to do. There were too many officer putting their hands on him and they were countering each other’s efforts.

I completely understand why he tried to run when had the chance. The officers were pretty much out of control at that point.

I could not tell if there was a supervisor on the scene who’s responsibility it is to keep the situation under control.

If there were other officers were there observing this and did nothing to intervene, they could be charged as well.

First time I heard that lame excuse. Nichols fault, period.

Reason: Suspects fight with police.

You do understand, that a lot of times, folks that wake up from a bender, don't even remember what they did the night before. . .

Right?

So, now all of sudden Comply or Die has changed?

You need to make up your mind.



You clearly were not a Marine.



I do not give a fuck what you think. As long as DFAS keep putting money in my bank account every month that is all that matters.

You have no clue what a Marine advocates for.

I did not spend 20 years in the Marines to see our country turn into a fascist state where the our national motto has become Comply or Die.

The police are not gods, no matter how much you think so.

It is what you people are advocating.

Every time you go "well, they should have listened to the cop" you are pushing for Comply or Die

How can you possibly think we'd believe that you were a Marine if you can't tell the difference between a lawful order "out of the car", "on the ground" or "hands behind your back" and a question like "did your kid do this" or "we'd like to search".

I'd ask you if you would refuse a lawful order from a superior...but since you were no Marine, it would only be a lie anyway.

What makes those last two lawful?

I am such a good lair that the Fed Govt puts money in my account the 1st of every month for 20 years of service.

Perhaps you should report me for theft.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

It was completely avoidable if Nichols would have complied, which he didn't.

One more Comply or Die proponent.

This forum is just filled with them.

They will not be police officers if every time a suspect gets out of hand, they end up in prison. No, who would want a job like that?

IF he was out of hand, so what? Police are trained to handle that situation and none of that training calls for five cops to beat a scrawny 140-pound guy to death.

This was five guys, all knowing that body cams were running and that there were probably other cameras in the area. What the heck went wrong?

Were the cops on anything? Do we know? From what I've heard, there were other people in the area, cops? Firemen? Why did no one intervene?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

This wasn't out of hand. Out of hand would be if one cop lost his temper and slugged or kicked the guy.

This was five guys, all knowing that body cams were running and that there were probably other cameras in the area. What the heck went wrong?

He was a scrawny 140-pound guy. IF he had been stoned, any one of them could have sat on him. There is no reason on this green earth that he should have been beaten to death.

He did not comply, he deserved to die.

He did not comply, he deserved to die.

Broken record.

Get a life.

Then once again I ask, what are police to do? They tried mace and that didn't work, taser the same way, they barked orders repeatedly at him and he still didn't comply.

So the only two choices they had was to subdue him any way possible or just let him go. Do we want to live in a society where if criminals fight the cops hard enough, they are set free?

Yes, but what point are you trying to get at?

 

[EvilCat Breath]

And they’re able to subdue the belligerent drunk guy without beating him to death. What a crazy concept.

They likely use compliance holds that are illegal for the police to use.

First time I heard that lame excuse. Nichols fault, period.

Nope. That was the worst case of officer abuse / misconduct I can ever remember. Their actions were completely uncalled for.

I spent 14 years going through the same training and experiencing that exact scenario. They were absolutely wrong.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

what are the real numbers? The real elephant in the room. 90% of Blacks born to “single mothers”? Many have 5 or more kids from maybe 5 different donors. They roam free in the cities, a product of LW Marxist schools.

DEMs own this 100%. They destroyed American Blacks while trying to keep power and manufacture a voting sector. Paying them to breed more. Fathers not requred. They lose pay if Deshawn stays around.

this guy could be different….but if I had to bet I would lean towards long rap sheet and out driving up to no good. Probably well known by Cops, they tired of his crap. Cops told to clean up the streets…..send a message.

LW loons say “thats not a death sentence ”. True dat. But keep running into altercations…..you might get damaged, eventually.

According to Fox news he had no police record, but again, early reporting.

The Democrats started to promote single-parent families during the women's lib movement all the way back in the 70's. They told women that men were just sperm donors and they had no other need for us; they can raise a family quite successfully on their own.

Prior to that, women depended on their husbands to have children and raise a family. When the Democrats replaced the father with a welfare check, divorce rates shot up and living together became more and more common. Now that we see the results of this effort, particularly when it comes to crime, we know it was another Democrat failure, but they've done nothing to try and reverse this trend. Single-parent families continue to rise particularly in the black communities. So it seems there will be no end to this.

The video shows the initial stop. They stopped him, got to his car and opened the door and drug him out of the drivers seat and started manhandling him immediately.

He wasn’t given a chance to cooperate.

I watched two videos of this event and neither had the original stop. If you have a link, please post it.

Compliance holds are not illegal. They are recommended. Police are trained on how to use compliance holds.

It would be nice if people knew what they were talking about before they provide commentary.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

I know right. It’s such a tragedy that we would even consider holding police accountable for murdering people.

Any time someone resists arrest, that should be open season for the police to beat the ever-living shit of them. Just keep pummeling them over and over and over again until the guy eventually dies.

Is that what you want? Comply or die? What the fuck is wrong with you?

If you're going to use bullshit to make your argument you lost the debate already. Police had no intention of killing the guy. His death was the result of the injuries he sustained but in no way was planned or intentional. It's like if you and another patron at a bar and went to the alley to settle your dispute, and you killed him with one of your punches. Not intentional, only meant to inflict injury as he was trying to do with you.

Bodycam video shows Tyre Nichols being beaten, tased by Memphis police

The footage shows 29-year-old Tyre Nichols being repeatedly beaten, hit and battered after he was pulled over on his way home on Jan. 7.

They had the car let him run

That thug cop who walked off and then came back and kicked him in the head should get murder 1.

Are you comprehension challenged or what? Two different situations. Getting a drunk out of a bar is a lot easier than trying to put handcuffs on a guy that's fighting back with you.

I had no sympathy for Floyd. Or that Trayvon punk. But this kid was NOT trying to injure anyone. He was murdered.
