I finally watched a couple of the videos of the Nichols beating. The portion where they were standing around talking waiting for and during the EMT's work, those cops sounded like hood thugs themselves.
They did not sound professional but sounded like hood rats talking about the fight they had on Friday night.
The quality of people in LE will deteriorate further and more and more this stuff will happen and perpetually deteriorate the LE community.

This seems to be the result of the Democrat and establishment Republican BLM operations.

Change my mind.

Memphis police start at 40-50k per year.

do you really think they are going to be pulling the best out of society with that type of pay?

You get what you pay for. Law enforcement is no different.

Memphis thug cops kill innocent black man that had a clean record. Yet everyone is trying to blame systemic racism for the cops being thugs. “You can take the man out of the hood but you can’t take the hood out of the man”

They've chased all the good cops (white and black) away with their insane woke policies.

To be replaced by thugs.

Watch the first video where they pull him out of the car.
Youtube

And compare that to how it's done when the perp might be dangerous.

Did you notice that he holstered his weapon and then stepped in the line of fire between his backup and the perp?

He did.

I noticed right away they had zero fear of the guy. Which makes their actions even more egregious.

You’re correct. This will become a greater problem in large cities instead of a decreasing problem. When media, politicians, and celebrities paint cops just trying to do their job as evil or systemically racist it’s tough to find good people to sign up. Cities are forced to hire whoever they can get instead of being selective. Pay matters as well, but I think the pay could increase 25-30% and they’d still struggle to find recruits.

When the time comes country baws just need to set a perimeter and let the cities destroy themselves. "Intercept" anyone trying to leave.

Require a 2-4 year degree and raise the pay to $60,000.

compare and contrast the memphis cops with the minneapolis cops. the minneapolis cops look like choirboys compared to the memphis ones.

The vast majority of our officers have Bachelors Degrees with probably 8-10 Master's Degrees floating around (small department) and we start at $74K, topping out at 6-figures in 5 years and we STILL have trouble getting people to show up for the test.

When the cop opened the car door how did he know there wasn't a gun waiting on him?

They never do that if the perp is conscious.

So did Nichols have a record?
Did he flee on foot after initial contact?
I need to watch all the videos....I just saw the beating and end after it was over.

No

He didn't run until after they ripped him out of the vehicle and tasered him. They didn't pull him over and ask for license, insurance, etc. they just went from 0-100 right off the bat

It looked like a B rated movie of everything that could be wrong with a police force. Unrealistic.

I bet DC's solution is federalization.
