Tyre Nichols
« on: January 27, 2023, 07:57:55 PM »
How many similar situations have occurred where there wasn't video?

This is yet another example that there shouldn't be any excuses for a body cam not on/active/working.

i didn't even want to watch that video.  i knew it was going to be BAD...REALLY BAD.   i think those rogue cops strayed from the police training manual significantly.  those ex-cops ARE going to jail where they belong.  that is essentially a death sentence, but...oh well. 

  the timing of the release of this video was beyond assinine.  i just hope all the cities still recovering from those previous "peaceful protests" are not hit with a 2nd wave of opportunism and looting by the very criminals and antifa thugs the 99% of good police do try to protect us from

You really think 99% of cops are good? More like 20%.

I will say what I have said every time this has come up.   I worked next to them for over 30 years.  I do believe that >90% of cops are good.   

Lock these guys up.

Systemic racism in policing is real. Anybody who denies it simply doesn't want to see it.

Also in housing, medicine, academics, business and politics, but those forms of systemic racism are usually more subtle than "rogue" cops harassing, beating and/or murdering people just for being Black.

It is thinking by the likes of roQQet -- who simply can't help but race to "ANTIFA!" and other dog-whistle tropes -- that keeps the systemic racism alive.

I mean, during and immediately after his hero's 1/6/21 coup attempt, roQQet and those who think like him actually tried to blame antifa for it. It must be reassuring to always be able to drum up hatred for big, bad, dark "evildoers" anytime it's convenient.

Yes.

It doesn't matter what race the officers are. If Nichols had been white, he'd almost surely still be alive today. But he was Black, so he was harassed, assaulted and murdered by the police. That's the effen problem -- the racism is embedded within the system, built over decades and decades (centuries, really) of history.

In other words, systemic.

I'd have expected nothing less from you. Bravo for calling out the scary Black man.

They would have planted a gun?

In a shocking turn of events, Fox News host suggests cops aren't to blame and wonders whether Tyre Nichols was "on something."

https://news.yahoo.com/fox-news-host-didn-t-235905518.html

Not to be outdone on the stupidity scale, Jason Whitlock says this all happened because the Memphis police chief is a single Black woman. (The fact that this isn't true seems not to matter,but Jason was never good with facts).

Whitlock had time to get on Fox for this after complaining all week that ESPN was showing women’s basketball highlights?

it's about human decency and respect for the other PERSON.  when people beat up, shoot, torture, rape, violate another human being, it's wrong wrong WRONG-PERIOD.  i don't give a chit what race is involved-why is this so hard.  putting race into this just further divides us.  we are all against what happened and believe it was obviously wrong.  decent, civilized human beings do not do this to each other.  don't divide this into race or religion or anything-people should have souls that tell them certain things are just wrong.  character defects need to be addressed appropriately

The system puts race into it.  You're just not willing to acknowledge that it is a factor.  We all know who you are already.
