You’re a deranged sociopath. Swallow that cop’s jizz a little harder why don’t you, psycho?

Not this guy. Too many untrained tattooed roid head on too many departments. I agree with this.

However in this case, the cops should be punished, but in no was should be charged with second degree murder.

If that dude gets cuffed the first time he was pulled over, then he is still alive. Run, fight, run again, fight again is gonna give you a beating.

And are the cops supposed to be in a good mood when they finally catch him? No. I would be worried, on edge, and pissed off.

Watching that tells me these cops need training in wrestling or In jujitsu.

I'll just assume you missed the vid of the cop going all Mason Crosby on the dudes head while he was restrained.

Never mind the haymakers and batons while being held up by others......

Without reading any of the comments on this, I am sure my opinion will be "wrong" (only on this board can an opinion be wrong), but I heard them talking about it on the news the other day and about how horrible and disgusting it was.

I'll be honest, it wasn't at all as bad as I thought. I did fast forward through the videos since they were long, but I went back to see what happened a minute or so at certain stopping points.

I am not saying the police handled it perfectly, but think about this. Take a group of people.. 3 or 4 people and someone passes by and does something.. Let's say they pushed over a woman for no reason, she falls... Whatever so you are the others confront the dude. The dude pushes one of you and takes off running, what is going to happen? More than likely yall take off running after him and if yall catch him, the group will probably whip his arse more than they were going to do at first. Anyone disagree with this?

Yeah they went overboard, emotions take over and people do shite that isn't excusable, but the second he took off running he was fricked.

And you read these articles and it pretty much says "man dies 3 days after confrontation with police after being pulled over for traffic violation".

From the moment the police confront a person until the situation is over, there is something that leads to how things evolve. Whether the cops overreacted or the person they stopped did something to cause the police to act the way they did, there is a story in the middle, but "man dies 3 days after confrontation with police after being pulled over for traffic violation" leaves it wide open for assumptions. That's either lazy reporting or reporting to fit a narrative.

Those officers can't say that they were wrongfully fired because they were black and that because of the perception of how police treat black people, the department only fired them because it was caught on bodycam and that before there were bodycams there were police who do a lot worse who didn't get fired because no one seen it?

Im just throwing out a defense they could use. I understand why they were fired.

Here is a repost of what I posted yesterday. It received 35 downvotes and 1 upvote. Im curious if the downvotes were just because it was me or if people really doesn't agree with this.

Does no one think that in reality there is a lot of gray area in this particular case?

In a perfect world, if someone gets away from the police then they are caught again, the police will not be more aggressive towards them. They would approach it with no emotion and go by the book and address the situation as it needs to be addressed, but being human these situations, I would imagine, gets emotional.

Its unrealistic to expect both parties to not have emotional reactions.

Obviously it wasn't racially motivated. And being in a time when police departments have been losing police, they are having to lower their standards, isn't there something else that can ultimately be blamed?

Yup that’s me alright just a rebel

He was murdered on purpose

That wasn’t training

And you’re completely off the mark per usual. Functional normal people don’t want to be cops in inner cities anymore. Thugs like in the video are what you are left with.

This is some of the most detached bullshite in this thread.

I did. My point is, if he listened to the cops when he said get out of the car, roll over, hands behind your back, none of this happens. What you are losing sight of, is that those cops don’t know him or what he is capable of. They want to return to their families. With that being said, he did not deserve to die and did not deserve to be beaten. But, listening and obeying is something we are taught at an early age. Perhaps Tyre wasn’t taught that as well as others? Don’t know, but listening to what they tell you to do would have helped the situation.

We need training programs

Are we still ignoring that these cops were apparently on special detail and don’t do traffic stops? There’s more to this story
