This is truly bizarre. I can't imagine what would lead to this. I can see one guy losing it, but to have the rest join in and nobody say "Hey, this is wrong." Unthinkable.

Mob mentality

Fuck these cops, fleeing isn't a capital crime, or an action that inherently puts the officers in danger. The family's attorney isn't completely out of line when he compared the footage to Rodney King's beating.

If these guys some how get off, Memphis will explode and we will have nationwide protests. At least some and probably most of those protests will devolve into rioting, that gets air time and then people retreat to our corners and we wait for the cycle to start again.

I'd like to point out that there have already be peaceful protests. With the amount of attention the inverse gets I think it's important to note.

And yet they'll go vote for the same ole democrats that have DESTROYED our urban centers since the 60's. How do people still vote for them?

Also:

F the Party for Socialism & Liberation. They're Communists. Hard stop. The end. All communists are evil.

Who wants to tell the clueless communist on the right the inconvenient truth that the 5 cops who killed a black guy were...black?

He was educated in the inner city and couldn't write his own sign for this protest. Some Soros Stormtrooper handed him that sign and some leftover bricks from a George Floyd peaceful protest.

You sure are one dumb, racist son of a bitch, Leppy. Why don’t you stop following ND football and stick to NASCAR. Seems like that’s more your speed.

5 cops kill a dude live on tv and people here still figure out ways to make it seem less worse than it is by shifting blame and judgement to people other than the cops. SMH.

This has nothing to do with race or politics. 5 bad police officers acted outrageous and their actions are unacceptable. They should be charged with murder. End of story.

**there is a guy on tic tok that’s say he has sources that said this was revenge. I have no idea if that’s true but there were comments saying they heard the same thing.**

If that’s the case there will be some serious digging into the incident.

Yeah, there's nothing good or acceptable about this. This is an explanation, NOT an excuse. Cops deal with so much asshattery, buffoons, stupidity, threats to themselves, and dealing with total jackals, that I think that some of them just become overwhelmed and frustrated, and boil over. And you then get something like this. I realize the victim here ran and resisted, but the cops' reaction was WAY overblown in response.
May get laughed off the thread for this but my buddy who is a cop has told me multiple times that cops should be mandated to go to therapy because of demands of the job...Dont know if it prevents something like this from happening, but I don't see how it can't help at least a little.

No defending what they did. The mobs destroying cities despite the fact that the cops were charged and the officers weren’t exactly pale doesn’t make sense to me, but then again it never does. Cops have a terrible job. Deal with scum of the earth who then get minimal consequences by crap prosecutors. Couldn’t pay me triple to be a cop. Looks like they will get accountability though.

1000%

We ask a lot of cops and they should be provided every resource to make sure they are in a health place on the job.

I agree. 8-12 hours per day dealing with all they deal with and seeing humanity at its worst all too often is akin to combat in its toll on the human psyche. Just as combat soldiers get rotated off the line to decompress and recover their sanity, so should cops. Maybe a regularly scheduled week or month away from the "front" to do investigative work, traffic, admin, PR... anything to take a break from the drunks, molesters, wife beaters, murderers, drug dealers, arrest resisters, and etc.

We are the most incarcerated country in the world.
We have a serious under-incarceration problem. Violent criminals walk without bail in the bluest states and repeat offenders are frequently re-committing crimes. We need consequences. Crime goes up when consequences go down. Look at the cities where people just ransack stores and walk out or the non- punished carjackers in DC.

Rumors down here in TN are that he was sleeping with one of the officers' wives or girlfriends.

Adultery isn’t illegal in TN I believe and in any event if it was the punishment isn’t to be doled out by cops and it certainly isn’t a death penalty offense. Doesn’t justify killing him. At all.

This is the reality.

There is a lot of reality. Like how Jacksonville had more murders in 2020 than San Francisco (similar pop.). I would bet that you have never once mentioned Jacksonville when talking about crime.

Republican Bakersfield, CA has a higher murder rate than San Francisco, but I bet you have never brought that city up either.

Of course it doesnt But you do realize that this has been happening since the dawn of man. Crimes of passion are still crimes.
If it's true, it not an excuse, it's the reason or cause.
