Tyre Nichols

[$kully]

A lot of the people I every day are LEOs. A bunch of us, including 4 who are cops, watched the videos at the gym.

Go fook yourself, tool.

Cool story bro!

 

[$kully]

Looked like five bad apples. The whole department might be fucked if they are hiring a bunch a ghetto thugs for the job.

I like how you’re doubling down on “ghetto thugs”

This isn’t a “ghetto thug” problem, it’s a police problem. The murderers may have acted like “ghetto thugs” when they killed Nichols but they were sworn officers of the law, on duty and in uniform.

If I were black Id run from the cops every time. Damed if you, damed if you dont.

You could do the opposite of what the guy in the video did when he was first placed under arrest and resisted.

I just watched this video with 4 cops.

If you believe what you wrote above you’re a piece of sh!t.



Black cops racist against blacks? Why would that be?

Those cops beat the fook out of that guy. Some of the beating took place after he was cuffed. One of the cops soccer kicked him to the head a few times. The cops are facing charges because of what they did, not their skin color.

That being said, those be some hood ass thug cops keepin’ real yo. Without the uniforms it would have been indistinguishable from a typical guy getting jumped scenario.

Four black guys rat packing one? Say it aint so.

Black males in the US are comparatively an extremely violent group. I don't think the career choice changes this especially when the career vetting begins and ends with skin color.

Diversity.

The best and brightest is racist.

So in another words “why didn’t he just comply?”

 

[Ifallalot]

It’s a fair point.

I’m sure lots of blue lives matter folks will look at the 5 black cops and say that it can’t be racist as well.

LMAO are you saying it’s racist?

Law Enforcement's "Warrior" Problem - Harvard Law Review

Within law enforcement, few things are more venerated than the concept of the Warrior. Officers are trained to cultivate a “warrior mindset,” the virtues...

I don't think this was the first time for these cops...it's just the first time someone died.

The pre-release hype and resulting riots seem to be coordinated and deliberate.

White people are angry. We just don't want to burn our own neighborhoods down.

Seems like the entire city is run by ghetto thugs who rule over other ghetto thugs.

Unlike the spontaneity of Jan 6?

LMAO are you saying it’s racist?

Are you saying it isn’t?

Your insinuation is I'm excusing the actions of the cops.

That's not what I'm doing.

I'm saying he made an initial choice upon first contact with police to repeatedly resist and this opened the door to a cascade of other events.

Had he not made those initial choices there's probably a 99.999% chance we wouldn't have ever heard of Tyre Nichols. Right?

We're probably going to be entering a situation in the near future where more and more police are ghetto thugs.

It's basically what happens in any country where police officer is considered a highly undesirable occupation.
