The pole cam is most damning because you get the 'Rodney King effect' from multiple officers striking Nichols.
But I found Nichols crying out for his mother just... man, horrible.
Each officer had adrenaline going from the chase and wanted to 'get in their licks.' The casualness after with them laughing about the chase showed wasn't their first rodeo.
I give police benefit of the doubt as they're putting their lives on the line. But they just beat this guy senseless and he was posing no threat on the ground maced getting pounded.
Given all the officers were black, doubt we see any real rioting.

shite happens when you run from and resist the police. God knows what he was in his system as well.
Some footage looks bad and probably excessive, but all you pearl clutching bitches that say this is “indefensible” or whatever need to chill the frick out because this guy’s own actions were the primary reason for his own demise.

They were angry that they couldn’t cuff him and got sprayed in the process. It devolved into base power instinct over training, reason, everything.

There is no defense for what they did. One of the guys pulled out the baton to hit him when he was completely held. Just ridiculous.

Could Nichols have worked harder to comply? In hindsight, answer ranges from perhaps to a yes.
Should the cops have done what they did to the Nichols? No. It just isn’t defensible from any angle.
It’s just seems that this guy couldn’t do anything right with this set of cops. There just seems to be more to the story and we don’t have that context.

He had been held for a long time. They were holding him but couldn’t subdue him and couldn’t cuff him. He continued to ignore their demands to “give them his hands.” So the Baton came out, three blows to the body. I feel there can be a discussion over whether or not use of the Baton was a warranted escalation, especially given how long the whole episode had gone on and he had already been pepper sprayed then tazed multiple times.
Now, the punches to the head and, moreover, kicks to the head after he was cuffed and on ground are indefensible.

Nichols didn’t have clean hands and quite honestly deserved to get his arse beat. Did the cops mean to kill him? Absolutely not. Sorry he died, but shite happens in real life situations when dealing with thugs in the streets

Worked harder? You either comply or you resist.
No, him resisting did not warrant that beatdown to death. However, he would be alive today had he complied and that is usually the case in these situations. Do your revisiting in court with a lawyer.

I've been pretty out of the loop on this, but haven't seen much on cause of death which I am assuming is massive brain hemorrhage based on the multiple kicks to the skull and five bare-knuckled punches to his temple as seen on the pole camera which, to me, is the most damning.
It seems that he's critical if not terminal when he slumps off of the car and those frickers are just jabber jiving like a bunch of hoodrats themselves.
My general reaction to these situations is that resisting cops is a bad idea in general, but something about this whole thing seems off, like it could have been personal.

I get it but even Rodney King wasn’t handcuffed and held up by 2 police officers while a huge cop threw a series of deliberate haymakers into a guy that was 100% defenseless.
That was horrific and not that cops first time. Guarantee there are complaints against that one cop going back years. All that shite is going to come up as it should.

Why comply with animals?
Kinda like blaming the chic and her provocative dress for the rape.

Wtf are you talking about?
Guy fights police and runs, police catch him and kill him.
That’s the story.

I’ve seen this repeated numerous times on here: that he was cuffed and punched while held.
I don’t believe that is the case after watching the videos. He is held by two cops but is not cuffed as the cop punches him. Now, we can agree that those punches are police brutality. But after watching the videos and listening to the audio, he does not seem to be cuffed until almost the very end. The inability to cuff him in fact seems to lead to the tremendous escalation.
After he is cuffed and on the ground, a cop kicks him several times in the head. That is obviously unnecessary police brutality. Battery. Maybe manslaughter. Maybe murder.

Because you will have your day in court and you can meet Ben Crump while still alive. And you will be getting the money instead of your surviving family.

This whole thing looks like what people were tricked into thinking happened to George Floyd, intentional and NOT an accident.

I believe that will probably be the case.
There could be contributing factors. Keep in mind he had already been tazed twice and pepper sprayed multiple times. There is a video of a teenager in Kansas City that was tazed once and hit in the face and he nearly died; paramedics brought him back. So we don’t know the effects those factors may have, especially coupled with his highly animated state.
Finally, what no one amazingly seems to be considering is the possible impact of substance abuse. We don’t know; autopsy should provide. The cops all comment that he had to be on something, that no one could keep going like that, fighting off multiple cops for a long time, being tazed twice to no visible effect, being pepper sprayed multiple times and continuing to hold them off. The cops remarked about how strong he was despite being slim.

Are you talking about the citizen thugs or the cop thugs? Both are relevant to this issue.
