    I lean right and I am consistent. I will give you credit because you are consistent with your views as well. Peace.

    Reporting this too. You're a liar and a b****. I'd spit in your face if I ever met you and you'd do nothing. Remember I've seen what you look like. No wonder you have no friends and your own family hates you. Loser

    I don't care what he's doing. I do know who he is. He'll admit that

    This is terrible. My heart is so broken for his mother, I couldn’t function if I was told my child called out my name while their life was beaten out of them. I only watched the beginning of the video, I just don’t want to see someone beaten to death. I’m wondering what does allowing the video publicly to be viewed achieve?

    To show transparency from a entity that holds immense power and authority?

    Keeping everything a secret causes more anger and social unrest.

    If you didn't get banned for telling women posters they are losers for not having babies then I'm not getting banned.

    You are pure trash. I wish I could see you in person. You went way too far with making **** up. You don't and will never have a family because no woman outside of a prostitute would get near you but you will be banned soon. I'm going to put your name all over reddit and pay 5 users $100 a day to call you every 5 minutes

    Yeah that's an opinion. Not the same as what you made up.

    So are they going to build special prisons for all of these bad/crooked cops?

    Agree in general. Hopefully brutal videos prompt change, or at least you would think that cops would understand that they're being recorded and better control their worst instincts. Maybe even now, a lot of additional horrible events are being avoided by some cops thinking of the cameras. That's impossible to know, unfortunately.

    i guess you were unaware that the FBI arrested the guy who burned down the minneapolis police station and he was sentenced to four year in prison, right?
    https://www.police1.com/george-floy...eapolis-police-station-fire-nKd5RboPPFKRy53f/
    Man sentenced to 4 years for Minneapolis police station fire
    The man must also pay $12 million in restitution for his role in lighting the Third Precinct headquarters on fire during unrest after George Floyd's death

    and you also missed that just this week the second of two protesters were sentenced to prison for burning a police car?
    https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/26/nyregion/lawyers-sentenced-molotov-police-car.html

    you also know that the "BLM protestor" who shot at the minneapolis police station in summer 2020 was a right wing extremist, right? and he was arrested and prosecuted.
    https://www.ksat.com/news/texas/202...-sentenced-for-shooting-during-floyd-protest/

    and the "BLM protestor" who shot and killed a cop in oakland was also a right wing extremist. the FBI helped track him down too.
    https://www.kqed.org/news/11904864/...guard-in-oakland-during-george-floyd-protests
    A former U.S. Air Force staff sergeant and alleged member of the boogaloo extremist movement pleaded guilty Friday to fatally shooting a federal security officer in Oakland amid large 2020 protests against police brutality.

    The Floyd incident is not really anything like this one. Floyd was handcuffed, being put into a car, fought being put in a car, then put on the ground and restrained until paramedics arrived. There are no videos of officers holding George Floyd while others punch him repeatedly, kick him in the head repeatedly, OC spray him repeatedly and beat him with a baton a few times. They literally just held Floyd down. They are radically different incidents.

    Can Bezos, Koch or Walton family make some money out of it?

    Otherwise, they're going to genpop with everyone expecting bloody justice there, while Memphis scrounge up millions they didn't have before by adding more debt and cutting services.

    This specific crime unit was created to combat gang activity and unfortunately treated and assumed this man as a violent criminal

    The mayor created this squad to decrease auto crimes
    They roll in unmarked cars so probably Tyre thought they were not police officers

    I'm mixed on what the Scorpion Unit's intended purpose. With poverty and addiction/homelessness on the rise, you'll see more and more affluent cities demand more specialized police protection.

    Blighted areas are becoming gravity wells sucking anything we throw in because we're either too overwhelmed or apathetic tackling root causes at the local and national levels. You can't fix that with councelors or police with a kinder gentler smile, Takng down a drug ring might cripple the supply, but the demand element remains strong and unshaken. When's the last time people read or heard something good coming out of East Chicago?

    This is the difference we see in response where you'll have 4 or 5 cops exercise retraint on a tall white youth tripping out on acid compared to the snuff feeds posted where these officers kept asking him to show his hands both as a heat check for submission or escalation. There were more than five cops and they could've cuffed him much earlier despite any heavy and violent resistance. Instead they resorted to max pain to subdue and break him. Being in that well hardens the people around it. We all know this, and we unconsciously decide who stays and who gets out.

    It's getting more and more difficult to directly blame police in poor neighborhoods as more information about how complex the overall situation is. They are now chosen as accountable Essential Workers to fix that problem. We don't see the hundreds of other incidents they go through, and we don't care if police aren't convincingly guilty of a major crime.

    They were fighting a rot the city explicitly created them to fight. Tyre Nichols might be collateral damage or maybe in some violation found from a stop and frisk. We will spend more time on social media to dissect that one detail instead of figuring out how to improve those neighborhoods.

    Another casualty to another forever war we're all inequipped to fight.
