Attorney predicts likeliness of other Memphis officers being charged

- Published on Jan 29, 2023 veröffentlicht
- A seventh Memphis police officer is now off the force as new details emerge from the deadly police beating of Tyre Nichols. CNN legal analyst and Criminal Defense attorney Joey Jackson, former president and CEO of the NAACP Cornell William Brooks, and CNN’s Don Lemon join Wolf Blitzer to discuss. #CNN #News
My grandpa used to say " the guy that holds the bag during a robbery is as guilty as the guy filling it with money." Everyone that participated, witnessed and chose to look the other way, stood by and watch that man pretty much die without rendering him aid, that fabricated a story or helped doing so etc...everyone involved needs to be held accountable for their complete disregard for life and lack of humanity
Everyone not directly involved but present needs to be charged with felony murder, just like how they would charge a get away driver in a robbery that resulted in murder. That means those paramedics that failed to do their job and anyone else present that didn't intervene.
Police chief needs to go down with her ship
Oh wait she's a women
So she thinks she gets a pass
@Tyrone Brown what?
@Tyrone Brown I mean she didn't hide it she was open and punished them. If we find out later she had reason to know these individuals were dangerous and ignored it that's an issue. If she tries to protect their supervisors that's an issue. We can't hold every person in power responsible for everything ppl under them do. We hold them responsible for how they react. If an employee makes mistakes and you ignore them that's an issue. If u immediately fire rhe employee that's literally why you're there. Saying she should be gone for doing everything right just encourages future Police Chiefs to try snd hide and cover things up if their jobs are on the line anytime any cop under them makes a mistake. Try and think next time instead of jumping to be political
We all watched it we all as human race deserve to go down
Seeing them all standing around was horrific. As a former member of the health care system the neglect and failure of duty of care was disgusting.
Would YOU have jumped into that Fight???
I agree. Seems like they were attempting to formulate their feelings ( on camera ) into somehow they felt threatened buy that man. The beating was bad enough, but the neglect of different departments was inexcusable.
As a humane human being, the neglect and failure of duty of care was disgusting.
Honestly I don't know how all those people could just stand there and do nothing. I witnessed 6 police officer assaulting a teenage boy. I pulled out my phone to have someone record. I literally was pulling and pushing the officers while screaming my head off. I brought attention to the situation and people actually came and helped. I heard that young man screaming for his mother, it's heartbreaking.
Not one person in the neighborhood came out. There aren't any people looking out their window with phone camera, It was pure silence.
What's so sad is if that was a gang of blacks beating blacks we would intervein that beating however we still have that we can't hurt master we might loose our freedom .and you end up loosing your life.
I would like to see that video.
This was not a traffic stop. This was personal. They went after him These police officers did not ask for ID, registration or anything. They stopped him and pulled him out without asking one question. The department confirmed that there was no reason for the stop so forget the cover up of reckless driving or going for an officer’s gun. The charges speak for themselves. These police officers are being charged with kidnapping. Police officers detain you , they don’t kidnap you. So someone knows the truth other than the victim and these officers. Give it time.
Also when u hear them talking and saying he tried to grab my gun, that was them Lying on camera bc they knew what they did was wrong and the only thing that could justify what they did to him was to claim he tried to take their guns. Hell they have the part on camera when they walked up to his yanked him out and said I'll blow your fuckin brains out, but when they're retelling it to the cop with the camera they claimed he jumped out , swung and hit one in the face and tried to grab his gun. I was like damn they came up with the lie so quickly and thankx God for these cameras bc if not they would've gotten away it, some still do with it being on camera.
Totally agree. Am just thinking one of those thugs knew Nichols
I've been thinking that too. It's like it was staged, planned ahead between the buddies beforehand. No one has indicated that Nichols ever encountered any of those thugs but I think he must have so he was targeted.
I thought the same thing. That poor man was targeted.
I don't want to disagree. I just wonder about target him, for what? He moved to Memphis in 2020 and was a peaceful skateboarder bro that seemed to not bother anyone. What could have been so bad for the end result? It's no surprise that he ran for his life when they initially pulled him over for nothing. I would have done the same.
I can't even comment on this whole event. It just upsets me so much to think this poor kid died for no reason at all. These officers should never see the light of day.
TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU 💯💯
Such a waste for what? Now all there families have to go through this ordeal for what? What a shame
It seems it's for no reason at all.. But I think the parents and others are going to push for new legislation.. A new Law that may make some difference. I pray it makes some difference.
At one stage, when backup arrived, there were 9 -10 cops around the car and not 1 gave any aid or attention to Tyre Nichols as he sat propped against a cop car - DYING - following a lynching by those meant to protect and serve - SCUMBAGS!!!!🤬
@S Y Not true. They waited so so so long b4 calling for ambulance. I think all pigs involved were starting to realize that they tuned him up too good
@S Y Typically, they are supposed to SERVE & PROTECT! Their backup officers were also just spectators 😡
Many thanks to the person who turned the street camera onto the scene and kept it there. They could have easily turned the camera away and none of the evidence would be available
@James I agree 💯. The camera person was NOT complacent, and this is the exacr type of behavior others NEED to emulate.
Several Canadian police chiefs have made public statements about this incident. One said that this will undermine policing globally.
It’s good to see this moving quickly. The whole world is watching!
They're right, the whole thing is why police need punishments that are 3-4x harsher for every crime that they commit comparatively to if a civilian did the same thing. It erodes the social contract, 100 9/11's aren't as bad as bad cops getting off easy.
Anyone, whether a citizen or a police officer must be held accountable before the law for their mistakes.
But thats not what happens with Police...when Police are actually held accountable is only when their actions are soooooooo egregious that its literally impossible to deny what they did.
None of that was a mistake.....whats wrong with you?
So arrest Fauci, right?
@RABID CUJO CRAZY pka
Intentional. Not a mistake
Anyone who stood by and did nothing is complicit
WHEREVER LIVE YOU ,TRUMP IN YOUR HEART.
@Eduardo Oliveira seems relevant right now.
Where were you that night Barnboy?
I disagree! I wouldn't have jumped into that Fight/Beat Down.
@Warpathy no but thank you for your concern, if I was there I would’ve certainly been stomped out
If three robbers go into a bank to rob it, and a fourth robber stays in the getaway car, and then one of the robbers in the bank shoots and kills a bank teller, if caught, all four robbers are tried for murder, even though the fourth robber never stepped foot inside the bank. Every single person present at Tyre Nichols' murder holds some level of shared responsibility. This case is extremely important to finally establish that in such situations, if you do not take steps to stop the killing, you become someone who shares responsibility in the death, legally.
GrayBeard - Thank you, thank you, thank you! Finally someone is 100% truthful!
I agree so where's trumps accountability with Jan 6th? He directed them to go to the capital building.
Life sentence for all as deterrent.
All of the personnel at the scene need to be criminally charged.
These cops didn't think there would be any repercussions.
Some had their cameras on some didn't... This is NOT an isolated incident. The people of Memphis must feel terrorized by this incredibly cruel and narcissistic and military-like Cop Culture... Even pouring over into the EMTs and more.. Wow. Mind blowing. Shocking. And Evil.
The 👮🏾♂️ know how to limit the data recorded. There's 5👮🏾♂️ but only 1 view from one body camera and it would appear that when the blows were being made this officer just happened to be looking away. Coincidence? It does however have audio and you can hear the poor man keening in pain each time that he's hit. Awful! 😔😔😔🥺
the problem is that the Police are having a hard time recruiting good people, so there are only bad people left.
In my view, police academies should be run by LGBTIQ like schools and universities, and look at how young people are so polite, generous, mature and responsible.🤣
The police that beat and killed Kelly Thomas were found not guilty and walked free.
Unreal that the media is not asking any hard questions of the police Chief. Like the Chief is just getting a pass
Would you rather have another police chief that will do nothing
It's the city council who decided to drop standards for the sake of diversity!
what are the hard questions. Don Lemon had her in an interview and asked all kinds of stuff. What else can she do. It's up to the D.A. to charge all of the ones involved.
It's neat that we haven't seen the dash cam videos yet. If it proved that he was driving erratically like they said, it would have been released already. So, she's just another one hiding the truth and not doing anything. The only reason any reaction came down at all is that they did it under a public camera so holding on to the body cam footage wouldn't have helped.
Remember folks, cops will only withhold information if it benefits themselves, they are not required to, and actively do not care about the truth.
I’m glad that they are continue to investigate and reviewing the footage of the body cams to see how Memphis city employees behave during a time that they should have been rendering aid.
May they all rot in prison! #JusticeforTyre
Amen
🙏 🙏 🙏
May they all be held to account by their other inmates - they won't have time to rot
They should get life sentences just like any citizen in the United States would. They better not get a slap on the hand!
Back reports of these kinds of behavior . It's horrific. This young man is beyond recognition . Torture on our streets 💔 😪
What are the other two officers' names? They should all be held responsible for what happened, every person there who took part or failed to act should be charged and convicted.
ACCOUNTABILITY MUST BE SERVED
This case will become law precedent. It must be done right and meticulously I pray. I hope this one breaks qualified immunity or gives it a 100% restructuring. Particularly the *qualified* part, long overdue according to camera recordings
I wouldn't be surprised if they were allowed to plea to lesser charges, like the cop who pulled down a guy's pants and tased his testicles, and was allowed to plea down to disorderly conduct. The prosecutors and judges don't want cops to face justice.
If they are allowed to plea they will. They don't wanna watch that video with a jury
@jddmmabbott True.. I just hope the DA doesn't offer up some bs like agg assault or something that gets them some minimal sentence with probation on the end of it like they tend to do. These guys need to be punished and a message needs to be sent that the people are through with these cops running rampant like the damn Taliban or something.
I'm sure the DA will be handing deals like hotcakes! Remember it's protect and serve themselves!
Did that really happen, a cop taser someone pair of sets
They simply used their power to murder an individual without justification or provocation. They did it because they could.
It was a quiet night, maybe. They were looking for some sporting action.
One thing that should have been asked is what happens when one takes a plea deal to incriminate the others!! There was a lot of people involved and I wouldn’t doubt that someone decided a to give in to get a lesser sentence.
And as a court room court reporter you know it's going to happen
there is no need for anyone to roll over because it's all on film. but then Travon's murder was on film too and didn't make a difference zimmerman still walked.
I think we can all pretty well count on a couple of them rolling over in exchange for either a lighter penalty, or maybe even next to no penalty at all. Happens all the time.
I can't believe they would not turn the whole police inside out. This guy did not deserve this nor does his family. His family is such a fabulous family. He was not raised to have this happen.
I agree 100% with the law.
Time to fire the police chief and Mayor!!!!
I think the Police Chief is offering quick response + great transparency -- a template for other police depts. They've also disbanded the unit. She is a leader, not someone hiding facts.
@Tipperary I disagree! She's trying to cover for her bad mistakes. SHE started this unit!!! Also, she was in Atlanta with a now-banned unit like this one called Red Dawgs. Then went to Alabama and was fired. On to Memphis and started this unit and knew what was going on. She's not a leader. She already knew the risk this type of unit brings!!!!
Why the major and chief fire them quick, not like the ones in Minnesota
ALL I CAN SAY, AS A LIFE LONG CARE GIVER OF EVERY LIVING CREATION....., THIS IS A CRYING SHAME...., I HAVE HAD TEARS BURN DOWN MY FACE FOR DAYS , ON ACCOUNT OF THIS EXERCISE OF INHUMANITY, ITS A CRYING SHAME. THERE HAS TO BE A RESOLVE OF THIS INHUMAN BEHAVIOR.😔😔😔💯💯💯
It's good that these people are being punished, but this has to happen everytime the police abuse anyone, whether it results in the suspects death or if the suspect is just injuryed or just mid abuse, the individual police officers need to be held responsible for their actions.
The more "who" at the scene are discovered and involved, the more defendants.
Accountability is justice. And justice matters.
And I wonder how many cops and firemen were fearful for their own lives had they intervened?
The barbarism of these animals is beyond comprehension - - like a pack of dogs. On the street corner and also at the initial so called "traffic stop" they showed no humanity whatsoever. Thank God there was a traffic camera that captured this horrific crime. It should be questioned/investigated whether these cops possibly had gang ties and maybe were out for blood and mistook Tyre for someone else that they were hunting. They sure did behave like they had planned for a beat down. All of them clearly behaved and spoke like total thugs. I pray that they get to the bottom of it fully and swiftly bringing Justice for Tyre and his family. My deepest heartfelt condolences go out to his son, Mr. & Mrs. Wells and the entire family. 🙏🏻 My heart is broken for you all. 💔 I'm so very sorry. 😭😭😭 (from a suburb of Memphis). 🙏🏻 Rest in Peace ♥Tyre 🙏🏻.
This type of thing will not stop until police recruitment is taken more seriously; police training is taken more seriously; and police accountability is taken more seriously. Simple as that.
I think police should stop tasing. U don’t know the person or what medical issues the person has. The person might not know he/she issues they have. Being shocked once or a couple times may bring out the medical issues. ❤
I've been saying for years if the police were required to pay "Insurance" (like auto insurance) in case they have these situations they would think twice or carefully approach each situation. Too many situations you not only lose your job but other possessions The Brady List is a game to them. So what Don Lemon said goes along the same guidelines
They choose not to intervene which is illegal seeing their co workers in violation of department policy.
This is exactly what needs to be happening kick them all out and start over every police station should be going through this right now get rid of all your bad apples no matter their color or rank and also get rid of qualified immunity.... At some point they need to know that they are civil servants they work for the people not to hurt the people.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN COPS ETC. THINK THAT THE LAW OR EVEN DECENCY TO OTHER HUMAN BEINGS DOESN'T APPLY TO THEM BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT TRULY THERE TO SERVE AND PROTECT,JUST RULE OVER OTHER PEOPLE FOR A PAY CHECK & NOW THEY SEE HOW THAT'LL BACKFIRE ON THEM!!✊😎
TRUMP WITHIN OF AMERICAN LOW.
That’s also what happens when you demonize the profession so badly that good people don’t apply and they’re forced to lower standards to allow a worse human being to wear the badge so many good men and women wore with honor
@Eduardo Oliveira what does trump have to do with black on black violence
@Eduardo Oliveira Trump 2024!!!!!
@Eduardo Oliveira what are you trying to say?
This will keep happening 😞 as long as Qualified Immunity is alive 😞
there need to be consequences applied
Yes!!! That's FACTS!!! Make the officers pay!! But we must have it to them paying in their public and private capacity 💯💯💯 #UCC1 #UnLearn2ReLearn
the Police higher ups hopefully know so much more than they are saying, unless they are covering that up too
Of course they do. That's the nature of investigations that require interviewing a lot of people, looking at records, videos, etc etc. It's only been a few days.
"Inaction" is another form of "action" especially when a life is in danger !
In this case, their "brutal action" followed by their "cruel inaction" took away the life of Tyre Nichols !!!
We as a country should look more into qualified immunity
Great point Don regarding that statement about accountability from the actual officers themselves.
The crazy part is Tyree was probably so sharp minded as to knowing the possibility of the outcome, that he ended up at a intersection where those Officers actions wouldn't go unpunished. Can we call it fate, I don't know, we can say that for Tyree to end up at a intersection where A Sky Cop Camera caught everything that those Cops tried to lie about, I wouldn't say was pure luck. Just to think if he hadn't ran to the area where everything was being recorded in true time with no obstruction, those cops would have lied their way out of a murder charge, by blaming an innocent man. Once other officers began to arrive, they were already justifying the fact that he could barely even hold his head up by saying he high as hell, look at him he on dope, and the others saying nah that's something else cause he was super strong. And what makes everything so bad is law enforcement and emergency personnel are not looking at a "Suspect", as a human. They were probably looking at Tyree as a drug addict and drunk and didn't want to render him aide because they didn't want to touch him. Just think if this wasn't caught on the Sky Cop Camera.
Anyone that did not render that poor young man help should be fired and charged!!
No one has the right to take the life of another human. It doesn’t matter what he did, he didn’t deserve to be beaten brutally and treated with such disregard by law enforcement ☹️
he was targeted and stalked. we know they stalked him when they asked what is his address.
Attorneys are also predicting a payout to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars to the family and themselves. That's what attorneys do.
As they should
Unfortunately, you cannot sue Memphis PD or government , you can only sue the individuals charged, which is why they fired them. If they kept them on the force then they can get sued. There is so much more to the story than that’s not being told!
They should you said it like it was bad thing
Thankfully there was a street cam that recorded everything those animals did, and it saw it all..
I pray every single one of those who beat this young man to death, but also those who just watched this happen & not TRY to intervene and stop this, and the first responders who didn't render aid..
Every. Single. One. Of. Them. Are. Monsters
Good on Memphis PD to be moving quickly on this.
Knocking they azz down like dominoes know the chief and mayor gotta go too
Wow crazy smh. RIP Ty.
what I would like to know is what happened in the hours/days before this. the officers must have all wanted to do this to someone. Those animals must have planned to do this, whether it was always going to be Tyre or were they just going to pull any man over and do this? I have heard about the 20 or so hours of audio from AFTER the murder, but what about before?
Why in the Hell isn't the Chief of Police being charged here for running a rogue police department?
@LAWRENCE FRAZIER This whole damned mess seems to be a case study in Affirmative Action.
They will not only face a jury, every last one of them but they will have to face our almighty GOD. You can't do wrong & expect nothing will happen to you. I can only pray for all of them & special prayers to the Family of Tyre Nichols family who have endure so much pain behind all the people involved in his murder. Just senseless.
It's not gonna stop till police have to pay insurance for his conduct..police unions need accountability dammit
How true, how true, manitory liability insurance that they must purchase before putting on that badge, and the fact that they can lose all assets savings, house, etc etc..bet they would stop that crap in a heartbeat, until then this will happen again and again, how can we get the ball rolling on getting them manitory insurance.
@Lynne Urbanik until there are real consequences that will affect them all there will be no real change.
Hemphill, stood over him, spraying him in the face, rendering him helpless, while the others beat on him. He should be in jail. He drove up and began cursing and demanding that he be removed from the vehicle. Arrest him.
I agree...set laws in place to make the police pay from their budgets and their pensions. They make monthly payments to the "Police Accountability " fund like an IRA. That money will go towards lawsuits
Well I saw at least 11, 12 officials standing around in the videos. Everyone is assumed innocent until guilty, except the detainees. They all stood around high fiving and whooping it up like they were at a sporting event! If that had been a dog fight they would have treated the losing dog with more dignity,
Yes Memphis Tennessee Police Department is charging more cops but five cops went to jail and 2nd degree murder and went to jail and bond out the other people involved is removed from work when they also need charged with 2nd degree murder
I agree that all officials present at the scene and did nothing owe the victim what the British refervti as "Duty of care" regardless of his crime. They should make all efforts to save life. Secondly, why are the police forces not accountable to being fined? The tax payers should be accountable to their pay, but the organisation should be accountable to action. If they start being fined and made to pay, all will sit up. Other countries sur hospitals, police force, schools etc and that is why one see them do all they can to avoid any unnecessary controversies.
ARREST them all. There were over 9 that I counted standing around and either helping with the KILLING or standing around doings NOTHING! A DAMN SHAME!!! 😭😭😭😭
They are all guilty
Standing around watching this man die. And he was not their 1st victim.
WHAT DON SAID FROM 3:54 TO 4:52 IS TOTALLY RIGHT.......THAT WOULD MAKE THINGS CHANGE A LOT!!!........
Walk in peace. Exist within the law. If you’re doing those things and someone is trying physically harm you, then you must fight back!!! Or accept the outcome of being beaten and/or killed.
Fought back by kicking he was handcuffed something else was going on here it will come out.
@D Jackson no. He's speaking in general term not specifically to this situation. He didn't stand a chance
Mimi after the gang unit pulled him out of the car and started giving him the beats w/o telling him why he was being pulled over
Mimi you don't know what you're talking about obviously. These officers were making statements for the body cam video to make it seem like Tyre was resisting. But all the videos shows a different story
Feel bad ...nobody should have to die ... but routine traffic stops doesn't start with 3 cop cars surrounding your car when you or anybody gets pulled over ...would love to see the video that set these cops off first...
I'm still in TOTAL SHOCK!, at least 1?, had his Bodycam turned On?.
Lol me too I'm in disbelief
Some good advice was given on this topic, make the cops pay for the lawsuits and paying the family. What if the police don’t have that type of money?
Wondering how they bail out on a 250,000 dollar bond on a police officer pay check. “Three of the officers remained in custody at the Shelby County Jail Thursday night. Bond was set at $350,000 for Haley, 30, and Martin, 30, and $250,000 for Bean, 24, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
Mills, 32, and Smith, 28, posted $250,000 bond “. What else was Scorpion taking under these power they had to stop crime in the city. -CNN
I think Memphis has the 10% rule for bail. All you need is 10% or sometimes less and they will bail you out. Bail bondsmen are usually friends with cops in the city so I wouldn’t be surprised if they took 1% an bailed them out. They should’ve been held with no bail, they’re clearly a danger to the community!
I just felt this was coming..
There's no end to this life of lies..
It's baffling Soo many people are involved in one murder..
People with honorary badges..
I can't even term it..
End Qualified immunity for Police and gain accountability
Joey an Don the true father & son duo
2023 is really turning the tables now that Amazons LPA23X hit the road. After all these years of barely reading anything good I was usually just shutting down any type of media as much as I can but this brings back good lights and it should give hope to some of you that no matter what is going on in the world at the end something good comes to surface
This was a very, very heinous crime.
FTP! No reason for any beat downs like this. I can only imagine what was going through Tyre's mind during all this. F the police. This is [disgusting] that something like this can happen to someone by people that should be protecting people of all walks of life.
This has been headline news in Australia too and also coincides with an unwell aboriginal woman being left uncared for in her cell, who then died. People who live on power should not be allowed to be in these positions of trust.
When Wolf Blitzer asks "What can we do to prevent this from happening in the first place?" the first thing I thought of was, How about not running from the police?? 😆
@Just a Cinnamon Bun FoH
@Just a Cinnamon Bun Talking back to your abusive husband is a good way to get hit. So idk why everyone keeps acting like we need to do something about men that beat their wives. If they just stop talking back they wouldn't get hit. It's ridiculous trying to blame the ppl committing the crimes when really we should be blaming the ppl provoking them into doing it.
@Cody DeLonge You lost me.
" As of Nov. 25, 39,935 people have died from gun-related events in the U.S. this year,
including 18,221 who died by homicide, murder or an unintentional shooting,
plus another 21,714 who died by suicide. " - Forbes
Those Officer's was standing around watching Tyre being beaten. They said nothing to help. And they did nothing to help. I think they should get the same charges. As the five Black Officer's. They need to be fair. That's the only way the system can change for the better.
the purpose these cops served was complete domination of Tyre. He probably stood a greater chance of survival if he'd been knocked unconscious after the first few blows, but it was a slim chance. The fact that he showed any civility to the cops probably enraged them, either that or this is just an authorized band of thugs doing what they did many times in the past. I'd be interested in knowing how many previous altercations with these thugs will surface going forward. No doubt any complaints will be met with "they were "known" to police. Is there a legal team willing to bring forward a class action suit?
The last gentlemen who spoke said a mouthful, conviction is not resurrection.
Yes! Make them personally responsible! They must also lose ALL!
The whole line of police management needs investigation. The people who decided on the policing model should be sacked. The people who laid out the budget should charged.
Thank you sir.Yo Nations law makers , yo governments of USA are responsible for this evil crimes against childrens of God ,. And h is watching very close 😡👎 Mac my words.The resentment is growing around the world 🌎.
This was a premeditated hit over a woman
I really think it's gotta be. The more you watch how the whole thing started the fact there was never any proof of any reason to stop him. I think there is a chance evidence comes out this was premeditated and they get Murder 1 and end up in prison for life.
Typical killer cops, walking around like they just finished playing a basketball game. Even walking away from their threat to the other side of the car from where he was rolling around dying from pain, they heat his soul to death and were so proud of it. Everyone who made contact with this poor soul, or was at the scene, should be put in jail.
The police chief should be held accountable as well!!!!
Life without parole for all these cops
May the Dear Lord Bless this poor family!
I don't think I would be able to go on with my life if my precious son was Murdered the way Tyree Nichols was! 😰💔🙏🏽
I feel the same way smdh. So sad this could have happened to anyone's son.
I like the fact that they pleaded not guilty. I wonder what they thought happened?
I want to know what happened with the EMTs. Why did they wait to administer aid?
Probably afraid of the cops!
As far as I understand it, they had reformed their practices and mandated de-escalation (supposedly) across departments. Police culture is so infested with racialized otherization and cloaked implicit bias to the point that it is policy to view Black and Brown men as a threat regardless of if there is a crime, and the value of our lives is so low that they can't beat a man begging for his life in the middle of the street and there be no consequences. Police brutality has sat at the top of black issues for a 100 years, this behavior has been accepted, justified, covered up, and out right dismissed for 100 years. And, it is almost condescending to suggest firing five men or so, and prosecuting them will supplant the fact that the police culture will never change until we force it to. I, personally have been harassed countless times for fitness training by police. Can you imagine doing burpees/running, and an armed officer is confronting you like you are doing something wrong in this climate? I think we have tried the policing thing in OUR neighborhoods long enough, it has not reduced violence...how could it? Police presence propagates violence. No crime can be prevented after the fact. You can't use violence and intimidation and demand civility not follow your example. I believe as a society we have to evolve. Police do not prevent crime, economic stability and strong families do. How about we shift our tax dollars into programs that build us us...instead of murder us in the street. And to those who are satisfied with their service let them get the all the bad apples that seem to only grow on trees in our neighborhoods.
It's a reality..
The culture of Authority in America is a serious mess
I hope others come forward to get them all I hope they do so all you that had have this done to come out and tell this is your chance get them back do it
Thanks for not showing the video in every update. Some of us really do not want to see it.
Creo que para respetar a las personas necesitan a alguien de derechos humanos en los arresto.
* WISELLY words _ from MR. Cornnel Brooks AT this point of INTERVIEW ," Accountabillity is more then punishmment only, it ought to mean wellbeing on Public safety on the outskirts ." The Citzens deserves from Authorities behaviours , Of wchich are the mainly in charge of keep the laws in force Respect from to ; they Don't have any right to VIOLETING thereof.
The chef needs to go too! It was under her watch and command.
Any response to the fact that the victim was supposedly dating the ex of one of the cops? The one that claimed he was almost hit by the victims car? The one who was taking photos/ videos and sent them to his baby momma?
I've heard that as well
That is ridiculous, but it definitely sounds like the missing piece to the story.
Really had not heard that. So, put bounty out on him if seen random stop make up something not once asked for Id insurance. Your on to something. A personal vendetta and all of them bought into to pool soul that got ✌🏽 by ex. How simple-minded silly are they. Now off to prison you go. SMH
Interesting. I'm quite sure there was a connection between Tyre and at least one of the cops
Interesting question
…at the end-of-the day, taxpayers always get the short end of the stick…paying for ppl’s mistakes.
Police needs to carry insurance policy for injury caused by them.
Yes, liability manitory insurance that they must purchase..#hit them in their own pocketbook not the tax payer.,.sure cure.
if it happened in Tx, they could get them all with the "law of parties" and have everyone who knowingly took part and contributed to his death on the hook for it!!
They have law of parties in tennessee too.
@LAWRENCE FRAZIER im not really that keen on it. Although in cases like this its excellent. But ive watched many documentarys, where it hasn't been good. There a guy in prison for life, been there since 15years old. His father was outside arguing with a neighbour. He heard a gun shot, ran outside to see if his father was ok. His father had shot n killed neighbour. He got charged too.
