Witholding judgement until I see video.

Regardless, any people destroying property during the riot should receive a beating as well.

Bill Hicks’ routine on Rodney King seems to apply.

“Oh that Rodney King tape, it is all in how you look at it.”

“How would you look at it, officer Kunh?”

“Well… if you play it in reverse, you see us help him up and send him on his way!”

At a memorial service for Nichols on Tuesday, family and friends remembered him as a joyful, lovable man who worked making boxes at FedEx, enjoyed skateboarding and regularly drank coffee and chatted with friends at Starbucks. Some of those in attendance wore T-shirts that read "Justice for Tyre," and "Skate in Peace."


Sounds like a sweet kid.

If they resist, at some point you have to get physical or let them go.

Maybe we need to start letting cops use tranquilizers.


Pretty much what the stun gun was intended for, right?

It's like watching a Godzilla movie backwards. If you do that, you get to see him passionately rebuild a city and then Godzilla moonwalks into the ocean.

I'm starting to prepare myself not to have a knee-jerk reaction to this saga

If they beat up a guy to the point he died, it's indefensible and genuinely awful and I'm trying to put that in a vacuum. But it'll be harder once the "see, this is why we have to have talks with our kids about being hunted" stuff starts, particularly when juxtaposed against the reality that 95% of random violent crime around most of us is committed by said "hunted"

A lot of shite is supposedly “less than lethal.”

Probably better off letting the cop use a blackjack or a nightstick rather than that shite. Never heard of a cop accidentally shooting someone because they mistook the grip on their nightstick for their Glock.

I’m poking fun at the margins right now until we see the tape. And even then, it doesn’t necessarily reflect the events leading up to the incident.


King took cops on a high speed chase, high on drugs, and took a swing at them once stopped before he got a mud hole stomped dry by four cops, for instance.

A former employer of mine had one rule for their over the road sales reps- we could not stay overnight in Memphis. We could stay in the MS suburbs, but not the city itself.

Dude you white knight for Memphis in every related thread. I've lived here for years. It's a ghetto frickdump. I really wish someone would pistol whip my teeth out, finally getting me to the tipping point of moving to Wyoming.

That is incredibly stupid. You would rather stay in Southaven vs East Memphis?
