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.

Not only that, they're dumbest ****s on the planet. Every one of them had on a body cam. That's like beating your meat during a zoom call.

It's been my life experience (62 next month and native of Oakland, CA) that those who are quick to call others racists are, in fact, racist themselves. Have seen and heard it thousands of times, literally, since the 1960's.

No I just happen to live in the real world! Lived in a peaceful mixed racial neighborhood for many years, even graduated from a high school mid 1960s that was predominately black. That was then and far from the depths that many out there have dropped to!

I'm not the one equating black people to chimps in a public forum.

You don't know me and I don't know you. All I have to use to form an opinion about you is your posts here and some of them speak volumes.

Have a good day.

Two years ago, Georgia waited until riots and looting were well underway:


So maybe it's not unreasonable to go on ahead and stage the National Guard ahead of time this go-round?

Which is a whole lot better than the Gov of Minnesota did. He let half the city of Minneapolis burn down first.

Then he blamed the Mayor.

One thing I don't like bout sending in the guard is that they are in battle rattle, but are not given ammo. Useless!!!! At least bring in Military Police elements that carry federal authority for arrests and wot not behind them.

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?
