i'd like to see the circumstances leading up to the beatdown, because i'm willing to bet the 'victim' was asking for it.


To be beat to death? This place never ceases to amaze.

Watch the mean machine crank up... "they wouldn't have been fired if they were white cops".



It's already started. Watching the live comments on Facebook while an Action News 5 story is going. A lot of the comments are along the lines of this one "cops never be charged so fast if they was white"

We will see. If BLM really means what they say there will be riots in Memphis.

If BLM really means “frick white people” then nothing will happen.

This place is comprised of individuals.
Not sure why you feel the need to project the opinion(s) of one person onto everyone?

So with racism off the table in this case maybe they can focus on police brutality.

After days of publicizing this event, the police chief announced today that the body cam footage would be released to the public at 7pm tomorrow (Friday). WTLF?!

Not only is that outside of normal working hours but almost as if they are TRYING to incite violence. Let’s give free drinks and drugs away and push the release to 11pm. Wouldn’t that be better?

How about 9am on Monday?

I think the late release let’s people get home from work and school if they want to make it home before it gets bad

Yet their first instinct is to run from or try to kill the cop. You would think simple, even primative logic would lead a person to come to the conclusion that you should not provoke being shot or beaten to death by complying with LE.

logic is irrelevant. logic does not trump instincts and reflexes. have you never heard of fight or flight? sitting in a chair is the complete opposite of facing down a threat.

you said their first instinct. that throws out all of your logic.

It was an unadulterated, unabashed, nonstop beating of this young boy for three minutes.

Damn near 30 years old and he's a boy?

That's a grown man who knew better.

Riots cancelled



...yeah, but this is Memphis. They will take it to the streets as long as it isn't too cold or raining.
I want to know why the 5 police officers did this?! With body cams, dash cams, phones recording, cameras everywhere...and eye witness... why would they do this? It doesn't make sense to me. Has a motive been released or are they not giving any details? I just can't see 5 cops all at once beating a guy to death. Wtf.

I guess I'm off to read some more, just really hearing about it today.

Memphis is already “interesting”. All they need is one reason to level that place and it’s on.




Tell me the last time Memphis had riots.

I'll wait.

If Memphis had no riots in 2020, and Memphis had no riots in 2020, black cops killing a guy (all charged with murder and in jail) isn't going to set anything off.

Probably not.

What if the cops had been white?

So, Covid? Right?

The entirety of the Left was sure quick to falsely label Diamond's untimely and tragic, respiratory related death on Covid. Surely they will apply this same logic to the fine young man who clearly and most certainly wasn't fleeing from and fighting the officers.
