The Death of Tyre Nichols

https://vimeo.com/CityofMemphis for the brave of heart.

 

I saw a short clip or 2

basically looks like a torture scene in a movie where they restrain someone and then beat them to within an inch of their life trying to get them to talk

 

Jemele Hill is a trash celebrity.

 

police culture is all about treating citizens, primarily minorities, as trash and as someone who’s life has no value

these black officers just carrying on the tradition

 

I really don't understand what your issue with this statement is? What part do you disagree with?

 

black officers can be just as brutal to POC…they gotta try and fit in and be accepted in the police gang

 

Sharing views, Chowd. I didn't comment. Jemele was a sports commentator and this is a bball forum.

 

the few good cops who actually speak out or try and stop the rampant abuse, they are treated like sh*t within their department and are highly likely to be out of a job…like they’re an enemy

 

Knowing your post history and when you post something, I assume you are against what you said. I'm assuming you found it hilarious and shocking where it can be just shared and no words needed to be spoken due to it's absurdity.

Actually it isn't an assumption. I know that was your thought process.

Now can you explain in your words the absurdity?

 

we know what you’re doing…stop playing dumb

 

All protesters/rioters/people in the street != Antifa

His parents did a good thing asking for peaceful protest. The quoted tweet was deliberately provocative by baselessly referencing antifa.

 

Its too early to call these officers racist so yeah I do think Jemele is premature.

 

I watched a bit of the second video and wish I hadn't.

Whatever reform comes from this, if any, won't be enough.

 

Still trying to be slick?

 

Okay Kyrie.

 

I think you either have sincere difficulty understanding abstract thought or you are trolling.

No one is saying these officers are white supremacist. He's saying these cops work under a system that has maintained the status quo of white supremacism such as the vast difference in wealth between median households between white and black families.

Is that like too abstract for you to understand?

 

Do you think this incident has anything to do with race like Jamele and chowd?

 

it has to do with a culture of policing that often has police viewing citizens, and in particular POC, as less than

U think police culture can’t have a black cop looking at another black person as sub-human?

the origin of policing was slave patrols

it also has to do with a culture of policing that attracts an abundance of sociopaths and straight up evil/abusive people

some of the body cam footage is from a white officer who arrived after these 5 officers, and of course he was there laughing and later said “I hope they stomp his ass”…these people are evil and don’t value people’s lives…it’s 1 big gang
