Tyre Nichols Riot thread

[malmomike77]

^ 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.

Just how pig-shit thick does a group of American rozzers need to be nowadays, to pull a coloured-gentleman from his car, beat him to death over a prolonged period as he cries for his mother, then fistbump each other afterwards.

While wearing body cams.

More obvious envy from you . . . . . . what a sad drunk you are.

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

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

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.

Couple reasons. The family requested release and the media loves this stuff. A long run of "breaking news" to be had.

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.

No riots as well.
Oh well.

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.

Oh well.

It's almost as if some posters wanted riots

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.
