Tyre Nichols body cam footage

How weird…when you speak on a white dying at the hands of law enforcement it’s used for comedic value or to pervert the issue but when you speak on blacks there’s a whole different tone…why is that?

Your issues are sadly yours.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Clearly you expect blacks to get a pass when they misbehave

That seems a better choice than you who expects them to be beat to death when they misbehave.

Your issues are sadly yours.

Look, I observe and state the obvious….if you expect your position to be taken seriously by sane people you have to be rational, reasonable and logical…In spite of the facts and data you ALWAYS make police brutality a black thing and a cop problem. You can only wow your fellow lefties with such bullshit.

Cops: The perp took an aggressive stance.

Who did?

Do me a favor........if all you are going to do is lie about me, just block me and not reply to me.

I was a deputy sheriff for 14 years. The continuum of force is there for a reason. It’s not just a recommendation.

You can not present a credible argument that the level of force they applied was ever appropriate. You also can not argue that Nichols’ conduct forced the officers to increase their application of force.

The first steps in the for e continuum is officer presence, verbal commands then soft empty hands. They went straight into hard empty hands and impact weapons.

Officers are trained to take the level of force one step higher than that of their subject. Nichols did no such thing.

You mean like resisting being handcuffed?

You mean like breaking loose and fleeing?

Give me a break.

If you're not going to be honest then this dialogue is useless.

Your first link gives the definition of negligent homicide being without malice.

They give a few examples.

“Negligent homicide occurs when a defendant kills another person while engaging in conduct that they should have known carried risks. Ponder the following negligent homicide examples:

• While caught up in the excitement of an outdoor holiday celebration, a guest shoots his firearm into the air. The bullet strikes another guest, killing them instantly.
• A woman drives through a stop sign and strikes another vehicle, killing the driver. An investigation reveals that she was texting while driving and failed to observe the stop sign.”

Doesn’t fit with beating a person to death in my opinion. Seems to fit what I was saying.

What part of the second link are you referring to?

It's negligence because police are allowed to use force.

For you or I it might be different...but for a police officer they will argue that there was no intent, that they were poorly trained, and that they were negligent in the amount of force they used.

If you can't prove intent...1st and 2nd degree murder are off the table in Tennessee.

Here is a video with footage.
A quick google search didn't bring up the same dedicated views that I saw earlier.
Nonetheless, this footage seems to incorporate that elevated street cam view later in the presentation.
Go to the 1:50 mark.....and you can get a strong view of the encounter. It does depict the uniforms picking him up, standing him up, with his hands pinned behind him.......and them wailing on him.

Tyre Nichols video: Body cam footage showing brutal police beating by 5 Memphis police officers released

Video of Tyre Nichols' brutal beating by Memphis police was released Friday, showing Nichols calling out for his mom as police pummeled him.

www.businessinsider.com

I didn't see that. The 1:50 mark is when he ran from them and the camera is too shaky to actually see what was going on.

 

[Ray From Cleveland]

Blacks are 14% of the population and going by your data they are 27% of the people killed by police.

So, yeah they are killed more by police.

Because blacks are much more violent than whites and lead in every category of violent crime. Of course they will have more interaction with the police than whites.

If you are justifying the conduct of officers, you are beneath contempt.

They never gave Nichols the opportunity to cooperate. Without provocation they went into brutality mode. They were beating the guy like he was a piñata. Nichols was trying to cover his head from being busted open. Well, they killed him and now they’ll pay the price.

These officers should face a much harsher penalty than a ordinary civilian would face as they are sworn to uphold the law. They violated their oath and did the exact opposite of what they were sworn to do.

[Ray From Cleveland]

You are kissing the ass of criminals. The police officers will be convicted of murder and you’re eagerly trying to kiss their ass.

If someone fails to comply with police officers, do you think that gives officers permission to beat the person to death? Third time asking. Maybe you can try answering this time instead of running off again.

Your arguments may be cute in your high school, but as I said, I'm long away from that age.

Anyone who disagrees with anything I posted here is a contemptible reprobate. They should be ashamed.

The only people who will support, justify or fail to condemn the officer’s conduct here is an example of human garbage.

 

[Lesh]

That’s really not the premise of my post…you know that, you also know you can’t really respond to the true premise without proving yourselves foolish.

The premise of your post pointed out the inherent violence of police...regardless of your intentions

Or that intelligence

Great, another high schooler.

The video i saw showed him refuse to let then put the cuffs on.

So what?

That happens tens of thousands of times a day. None of those folks end up like this.

 

[Johnnyblueeyes]

I thought it was brutal

 

[tahuyaman]

I thought it was brutal

And completely unjustified.

 

[leftwinger]

Did he toss a Gun & Drugs when he got to run off and hide for a while? Hope some kid doesn’t find em’ in the woods out back of his home.

Cops: The perp took an aggressive stance.

Where?

One of the cops opened the door and jerked Nichols out of the car and onto the ground.
