I’m assuming this guy tries to run and/or resisted. But I’d like to see what his BAC was and the toxicology report . Because here’s the rub according to the new OT- if his BAC was above 0.0381 or under significant influence of drugs, he is absolved of any of his poor decisions
If you're referring to the girl who got raped and hit by a car....yikes.

The police chief called the beating “inhumane“ and called for “peace“. It must be pretty bad
Yeah, and apparently the MPD is very frightened of "retribution" from all of this. Honestly, i dont think there will be riots as much as there will be police hunting. Not sure why they think its a good idea to release this on a Friday but here we are. Looks like we are staying locked inside this weekend.

From reading Twitter, it seems the narrative has shifted to “oh now I bet these cops will be held accountable”, and it seems to be anger about that fact
So now we don’t want the cops charged it appears

This might be one of the dumbest comments I've seen on here in a while

In this situation, the cops were in the wrong, big time. And they're going to be rightfully prosecuted for murder. However, this had nothing to do with race, clearly. There hasn't been a ton of news coverage or rioting for that reason, although the super liberal Shelby County DA seems to actually want that as they are planning on releasing the videos of the incident to the public. Makes no sense to me. You're wanting to prosecute these officers and get convictions but just handing them an argument for a venue change, an appeal, etc.

I'm guessing they had some duty of care they allegedly breached or something along those lines

Heard one of the cops knew the guy but hadn't heard that. Wouldn't shock me if true, though

Nearly three weeks ago, Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, was hospitalized after a traffic stop in Memphis that resulted in a violent arrest and subsequent death of a driver.
Here’s what we know about the timeline of the incident, investigations from authorities and reaction from Nichols’ family:
Jan. 7: At approximately 8:30 p.m. local time, officers pulled over a vehicle for suspected reckless driving, according to a statement from Memphis police.
“A confrontation occurred” between officers and the vehicle’s driver – later identified as Nichols – who then fled on foot, according to Memphis police. Officers apprehended him and “another confrontation occurred,” resulting in Nichols’ arrest, police said.
An ambulance was called to the scene of the arrest after Nichols complained of shortness of breath, police said, and he was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
Jan. 10: The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced Nichols had died due to injuries sustained in the “use-of-force incident with officers,” according to a statement.
Jan. 15: The officers involved were relieved of duty – a standard departmental procedure while an investigation into their use of force began, Memphis police said. The TBI and the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office were also enlisted to investigate.
Preliminary findings indicated the serious nature of the officers’ conduct during the stop, police said.
“Today, the department is serving notice to the officers involved of the impending administrative actions,” Chief Davis said in a statement.
Jan. 18: The Department of Justice said a civil rights investigation has been opened into the death of Nichols. Kevin G. Ritz, US Attorney for the Western District of Tennessee declined to provide further details.
Jan. 20: After its internal investigation, Memphis police identified and fired five officers — Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills, Jr., and Justin Smith — involved in the traffic stop due to their violation of multiple department policies.
Nichols family attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci called the firing of the five officers “the first step towards achieving justice for Tyre and his family.”
Two Memphis Fire Department employees who were part of Nichols’ “initial patient care” were also fired, department Public Information Officer Qwanesha Ward told CNN.
Jan. 23: After meeting with officials to watch the unreleased police video of the arrest, Nichols’ stepfather said: “What I saw on the video today was horrific. No father, mother should have to witness what I saw today.”
Attorney Romanucci said, “He was defenseless the entire time. He was a human piñata for those police officers. It was an unadulterated, unabashed, nonstop beating of this young boy for three minutes. That is what we saw in that video. Not only was it violent, it was savage.”

I listened to Ben Crump's presser Monday. Thay are doing their very best to make it a racial issue. He said that the initial traffic stop (by two black men) was a "racist stop". Lots of applause after that sound bite

When there is a riot the police and the city control the narrative of the situation, so in a way, it would make sense for them to want a riot rather than the alternative. The alternative being various isolated attacks against police. Ive noticed over the past few weeks cops traveling in packs rather than just individually. Call it old man intuition but it just feels like this city is about to explode. Been really weird around here the past few weeks.

People here lose their minds when the DA refuses to turn over video. Then they think that the DA wants a riot because they plan to turn over video.

But liberal white women are all racist against white people.
