I judge each of these incidents on a case by case basis. I know if you want to piss off a cop, try to run. Tussling, wrestling, fighting, punching...is what it is. What I find absolutely inexcusable are kicks to the head. NEVER ever acceptable. A true ***** move and an extremely emotional over-reaction where you already have the upper hand.

I didn't watch this, but what I've noticed a lot is that the news only shows snippets of these films without the long buildup that lead to the final moments. I watched the George Floyd video in its entirety and it has a total different vibe than the snippets shown on the news. Also watching Code Blue Cam and Donut Operator and ASP and other channels that show the amount of resistance, continual lack of compliance, and danger presented to the law officers. Basically it boils down to : I am entitled and don't need to comply to you because I'm black.
It never ends well.

The actual incident was probably spontaneous, not planned in advance. I think what is being proffered as questionable is, the build up to, and then timing, of the release. That, it turns out, was pretty convenient, to blunt both the Pelosi sexcapade tape, the Pfizer expose tape, and of course, Brandon's continued huge giant, steady fail.

And hey, what's on every MSM agit-prop network today? The fact that a Pfizer insider ADMITS they're performing 'gain of function' research on Covid? No. Paul and David's Big Sexual Adventure? No. Latest Brandon **** up? No.

They're flooding the papers and airwaves with random black on black violence. This is literally an everyday occurrence, blacks killing blacks, but somehow, this gets all the attention. Convenient. Super convenient, actually.


Edit: I will say that the Tire flattening looked excessive to me, but no different than other videos of black groups wilding and attacking individuals. Main difference was the use of pepper spray, but that's really about it.

Memphis PD dramatically lowered standards before hiring officers charged in Tyre Nichols death

In 2021 and 2022, recruitment was struggling so badly that the department offered $15,000 signing bonuses and lowered the education and fitness requirements.
Memphis PD Tyre Nichols death dramatically lowered standards before hiring officers charged in Tyre Nichols death.


Jan 29, 2023
At least two of the five Memphis, Tennessee police officers charged with murder for the death of Tyre Nichols were hired by the department after they dramatically loosened the requirements due to low application rates.

According to an NBC News report, Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr. and Justin Smith all had been Memphis Police Department officers for just a few years when the fatal beating of the 29-year-old father occurred on January 7. Bean and Haley in particular have only been on the force since August of 2020 — after the department lowered the education standards.



As Action 5 News reported, MPD recruits no longer needed an associate's degree or 54 college credit hours, and could just get by with only five years of work experience.

In 2021 and 2022, recruitment was struggling so badly that the department offered $15,000 signing bonuses. Last year, the department also reportedly lowered the fitness requirements, doing away with the timed physical ability test.

The department even offered waivers for felons to join the force, according to the New York Post.

Haley in particular has a troubled past that seems to have been overlooked by MPD in the hiring process. As NBC reports, he was accused of taking part in the beating of an inmate named Cordarlrius Sledge about eight years ago when he worked as a corrections officer for the Shelby County Corrections Department.

In a 2016 lawsuit filed in the US District Court for Western Tennessee, Haley was accused of punching Sledge in the face while another officer slammed him face-first into a sink.

"After that I blacked out," the inmate said in the suit, which was dismissed in 2018 after Sledge was unable to complete the paperwork due to being in federal custody.

A local news report from 2021 praised efforts by the department to recruit more "people of color," due to their purported likelihood to "use force far less frequently than white male officers."



Despite this, all five officers charged are black, as well as the victim.

While the other officers involved in the death of Nichols' were recruited prior to the drop in standards in and after 2020, none had been on the force for longer than six years.

Before the disturbing bodycam and surveillance footage of the altercation between the five officers and the victim was even released, the five suspects were fired from their positions on Jan. 20, after they were found to have violated department policy on the use of force.

On Thursday, they were formally charged with second-degree murder, two counts of official misconduct, two counts of aggravated kidnapping, one count of official oppression and one count of aggravated assault.


Do you remember the 'wilding' attacks in NYC back in the 90's? They coined a new term....wilding, to describe people acting like animals. Guess who was doing the wilding in NYC? And if you watched the video here, this is about as good an example of wilding as I have seen in a while....just a savage, almost feral attack. These cops were wilding with badges. Animal-like behavior. Would you have preferred them described as a wolf pack, vs. chimps?

Yes, I understand the racial undertones largely due to media and culture and literature and film.

And I understand the use is often to denigrate and belittle. And that may have a racial element.

But saying someone is acting like a bunch of chimps or monkeys does not necessarily mean there is a discriminatory action or a systematic racism.

They were some type of special team called 'Scorpion'. Probably not the first time they beat the crap out of someone.

This one is clearly murder.

I don't have a dog in the fight though. So, yawn.

Yeah......The pond scum media was hoping for an all out race war that they could blow our TV's up with.

I just saw the videos this morning, and while him running was not going to help, they clearly beat him excessively. I firmly believe that actions have consequences, but this is clearly wrong and justice needs to be served.

Yep

I watched the 40 minute breakdown on Donut Operator and saw all the badge cams, etc. The cops in this case were the feral ones and need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Feral thugs. Scary as hell, IMO. They would have killed a white perp, too. ****ing criminal.

No doubt.

And Kemp staged 1,000 National Guard to a ready state and made no secret of it..

Damn right......Keep them in Craplanta.

Oh, I believe ni@@er is very derogatory. And no doubt, at the right place and wrong time it could earn you a beating. Yes it has become synonymous with racism. But, is name calling inherently racism?


In most cases yes, bad taste. Yes deratory. It's name calling.
Yes, I understand the racial undertones largely due to media and culture and literature and film.

And I understand the use is often to denigrate and belittle. And that may have a racial element.

But saying someone is acting like a bunch of chimps or monkeys does not necessarily mean there is a discriminatory action or a systematic racism.

I could be in a minority on this opinion, or I could be completely RONG. :island14:

Eh.......I got/get called everything except a child of God sometimes. Cracker mother****er, white trash, Ofay. Haven't heard honky since the '70's :funniest: They're all meant to be demeaning and racist. Nigger is no different. African Americans can refer to each other like that with impunity. Most of the time, White people cannot. I admit that I've used that term to describe most of humanity, race not being a factor, but acting like an asshole.
I rarely use that term now. To me, it's over used and passe.
Pretty soon now, my oldest son will propose to a black lady he's been dating. She's a teacher, has 2 children 8 and 10. Her ex went nutshit and committed suicide 5 years ago. Adult onset Schizophrenia, unmedicated. If they wed, she and her children will become a welcome part of our family.
Should anyone show the poor judgement to refer to them in ANY derogatory manner will be met with hostile intent, and that's putting it mildly.
I have 0 problem going to jail again.

Wouldn't most here agree that mayor Lightfoot, whom I affectionately refer to as Beetlejuice, is racist for refusing to speak with white reporters?:)

If you listened to a lot many blacks have said over the course of time, they will comment they cannot be racist. That they are not a big enough force to push a agenda therefor they cannot be racist. Pure bullchit as they are a very racist bunch.


A little light reading, thanks Google!

Update: They just found a white cop they think was involved in this. Maybe he drove his car within a block of the scene? Now that we have a white face, I'm anticipating rioting. Also, they apparently fired the two EMT's that stood around and didn't treat the victim.

When I first heard this updated news I figured the white cop was probably guilty of nothing more than saying hello to one of the black cop’s in the break room before their shift that day.
