I started the topic because the powers that be in Memphis think the footage is "heinous" and "Horrific" and they are afraid that there will be protests and riots, so they're releasing the bodycam footage later in the day. It appears they want to give the working people an opportunity to get safely home. They've cancelled all after school activities in and around the Memphis area.

quote:

When that tape comes out tomorrow, it's going to be horrific," Wells said. "I didn't see it, but from what I hear, it's going to be horrific. But I want each and every one of you to protest in peace. I don't want the burning of our city, tearing up the streets. Cause that's not what my son stood for. And if you guys are here for me and Tyre, then you will protest peacefully."


If the footage is as bad as they say, this might cause rioting in more locations than Memphis.

There’s a distinct difference in this case which does not get the protesters engaged. I’ll let you figure out what that is..,.

The cops who beat him were all black. There may be some protests just because it was cops, but black people don't really care about blacks hurting blacks.

Honest question : Does the fact not one cop was white play a part in the level of riots?

I feel like race usual factors more than just being police.

I think they're giving people the chance to get out of harm's way.

Probably and that they’ve already been charged. There have been cases where people predicted riots and nothing happened at all.

The whole way they are trying to get out in front and charge the cops before they release the video on Friday night (intentional to let people get out of harms way and its the best time to drop bad news) tells me that this is going to be really bad.

This video must be horrific.

when people are loading big screens onto carts and running out of stores with arms full of clothes, laughing and smiling the whole time, it's not about race or anything else. it's just an excuse.

The obvious course of action in this situation is to burn the entire country to the ground. After the looting is complete of course.

But it’s justified because it IS about race. This is black cops and a black man. Let’s get real here, there is no outrage about police brutality, only white police brutality. If you don’t recognize that I don’t know what to tell you.

It has for this board, who has hated race being inserted into everything so much that they’ve inserted race into everything (which makes sense somehow?).

There will be significant protests and outrage, and then everyone saying “no one will care because only whites get persecuted!!!” Will ignore it and still claim everyone is out to get them next time. Rinse and repeat.

You also don't have Trump in office. The BLM riots weren't organic. Those situations were inflamed by out-of-town agitators to make the country appear as if it was coming apart and required change.

Released in segments

So the people who want violence will focus only on the police brutality part instead of the totality of all video evidence released of the whole encounter

Brilliant strategy by them actually.
