re: “If Tyre Nichols Had Complied He Would Still Be Alive….”

There was nothing the guy (in which the Chief of Police said there was no evidence he was driving recklessly) could do to cooperate.

Have seen many take downs of arrestees who were not complying. Have never seen anything like this.

Even when it happened during Carnival and the cops were worn out and nerves frayed from long hours and being tested to the max.

Punches, yes, but this was sustained, obviously flagrant intent to do something beyond just an arrest.

There's more to this that still has to come out. Speculating on the possible rumor.

They stopped him for an "illegal lane change."

This could happen to anyone at any time by a cop intending on stopping and arresting a target.

From the available images and audio, he did comply and said, "I didn't do anything."

Right after that he was tased. That's when he worked free, got up and ran.

Did he recognize one of the cops and it then dawned on him that this was more than just an arrest.

Saw the kicks to the head by the heavyset cop while the arrestee was on the ground basically helpless.

It was that same cop who later while the arrestee was standing with his hands manacled behind his back kept punching him in his head with full-on roundhouse rights.

Never seen an abuse of an arrestee that flagrant with full-on punches to the head who was putting up at best moderate resistance at the initial stage of the arrest.

Punches like that were enough to eventually cause his death later.

According to the images, expected him to fall unconscious right there at the scene.

Curious, though, how we're presently not in a repeat performance of about another 2 billion-plus dollars in destroyed property along with careers, ownership, aspirations, and futures going up in smoke.
