Are you implying that Tyre Nichols was "asking for it"?

^ no i am not, did i say he was asking for it?

He didn't deserve to die, least of all at the hands of those who are supposed to protect and serve. I am however not going to get worked up or lose any sleep over yet another injustice involving Mercas law enforcement agencies.

What was thos guy stopped for? I heard one of the officers talking about him swerving between lanes and nearly hitting one of the police vehicles. Is there video cam of this?

It appears the police thought he was DUI and were obviosly worried about what he might have taken.

They were obviously a little heavy handed, but fear has that affect on people.

It is more a view on US society and how it has managed to screw itself up with guns, drugs and fear on both sides of the law divide.

Get rid of the second smendment crap would be the first step. Too much them and us instead of just us.

Do you really think that cop was scared, as his mates held the boy down and he kicked him in the head?

Ii strongly suspect Troy hasn't a racist bone in his body but like many of us is guilty of clumsy posts.

The problem with these OPs on subjects like these is they are perfect for Teakdoor and allows the usual bun fights for those looking for them - the only shame is Rant ain't around to mount his horse, shame really could have got this to 1K in 2 days.

Oddly enough no-one is asking you to get 'all worked up' . . . but you do like to pretend you're all innocent in all this. You get pushback and then go all hyperbolic.

Suffice it to say there was no reason the man deserved to die . . . I didn't watch the video, not necessary, the accounts on here are horrific enough.

^ not oddly enough i'm not getting worked up over it, i think its obvious i couldn't care a fuk as sadly he's another yank stat.

As usual you feel the need to find my posts to make a point in your never ending obsession, now i'm glad your new hammock ain't under water so best retire to it eh

I haven't watched the video. Cops should be supporting each other and saying "whoa partner" when things look like they're getting out of hand. They should have had a lot of training for doing that.

Yet here you are, talking about other posters and how they would act - get over yourself SAS-man.

Why do you focus on the topic of this thread, a young man was mercilessly murdered while pleading for his life. It's a given that you're killed many in your 'previous' life, but this is a civilian . . . stop trying to out-fuckwit Taxidriver :sad:

Not at that point no. However, I haven't seen what occurred earlier that led to the car being stopped. Something happened and one police officer in the initial video said that the stop was due to reckless driving whereby one of the patrol cars was nearly hit. They believed the victim was on drugs and at least a couple of the officers appear to be pumped with adrenalin, either from fear or anger. I think this was the reason why they lost control.

I am certainly not condoning the subsequent actions of the officers but merely curious as to what caused their loss of control. This isn't racism as such but more expectation following some previous action that isn't shown.

They will play this crap out forever. Then we will get Tyre Nichols Monument to remember the bullshit. It's crazy what makes news and has legs for years.

Cops arrested, case closed. Bad cops. Shit happens.

A group of people employed by the government to protect and serve the community stomp an unarmed unthreatening civilian to death and then fistbump after it.


How does it even make the news at all.

The fashion and the attention given of the last couple of years.
As these practices and incidents, among the policing systems, have been commonplace for decades - wasn't a conscious issue until just recently.

^ Rodney King, 3rd March '91 ring any bells?

Unless 22 years is classed as recently.
