Two EMT’s just got fired as well, so it’s no telling how far this case goes and who else is involved.

One of the officers is from the same town as I am as I knew he looked familiar from somewhere.
Damn... There must be more to this story, a lot of people involved.

Why would all these people risk their careers over this?

Yes we need more Black cops. What’s the alternative? More cacs with guns and badges?

No, we need fewer cops in general. If cops had more actual work to do they would probably be less likely to engage in this type of behavior.

And of course, higher standards/training for the ones we do have. But personally I think most cities have more cops than are needed.

Less police and more police dogs. If cops need to shoot someone 10 times for waving a stick. Start giving these pussies a pitbull or german shepard to help them feel more safe and secure:mjlol:


Why send 5 cops to a scene and they dont have the confidence to bring some of these people down without shooting them? Instead of paying salaries and pensions. Send one or two cops to the scene with a dog.


Probably paying 2-300 a month for alpo#DefundThePolice.

Plus lets be honest,ive watched enough cops to see how quickly cops defuse a situation or end a standoff. People dont want any parts of a dog:mjlol:

An autopsy independently commissioned by the family of Tennessee man Tyre Nichols came to a preliminary determination about how the 29-year-old died after a traffic stop by Memphis Police earlier this month.

The findings indicate that Nichols “suffered extensive bleeding caused by a severe beating,” family attorney Benjamin Crump said in a Tuesday statement.
“[H]is observed injuries are consistent with what the family and attorneys witnessed on the video of his fatal encounter with police,” Crump said, noting that more information would be released “at another time.”

Local authorities have not yet released an autopsy for Nichols.

The father of one was stopped by police for reckless driving on Jan. 7 and fled the scene fearing for his life, his family members have said.
A group of five officers caught up to Nichols and beat him for three minutes, according to lawyers for the family, who were given a chance to see body camera footage earlier this week.
“He was a human piñata for those police officers,” said Antonio Romanucci, an attorney for the family, per The New York Times.



According to Romanucci, the footage showed officers using pepper spray, a stun gun and restraint tactics on Nichols. He was taken to a hospital, but died three days later.

Lawyers for the family say that in some of Nichols’ final moments of consciousness, he called for his mother and said he just wanted to go home.
A photo of Nichols lying in his hospital bed that was released by family members showed a bandaged man with a bloated and discolored face.
Memphis authorities have pledged to be transparent in their investigation, but it is not clear when they will release footage of the incident to the public, and how much of the video they will share.
All five of the officers, who are also Black, were fired last week as local and federal authorities continue to investigate the incident and decide whether to pursue charges.
Nichols had a 4-year-old son and worked at a Memphis-area FedEx facility, The New York Times reported.
