Tyre Nichols

This is truly horrific. Hope the officers involved get what they deserve.

The distressing thing is that the boy has obviously run because he knows there’s a good chance he was going to be severely beaten or murdered.

It’s very clear that this happens on a daily basis and goes unreported over there. Only when they accidentally kill someone does it have a chance of surfacing.

Very broken country IMO.

 

Truly sickened me. Yards from his mother's house and pulled up beat to death for nothing other than being black

 

horrific ,hearing the poor fella crying out for his ma while them vicious * beat him to death is heartbreaking

 

I despise America. Horrible backwards nation.

 

It is heartbreaking that * like this goes on, unfortunately it is becoming more and more common in America, how do you break the circle of violence, I really don’t know but thank * I don’t live there.

 

The 5 coppers who beat him to death were black so this wasn't a racially aggrevated crime, just coppers are * crime. Maybe they chose a black person because they felt less likely they'd get in trouble for their actions. They'd likely done this numerous times, this time they took it another level.

 

Wish I hadn't watched that. Heartbreaking.

America will be a powderkeg for a good while. Hope folk can direct the anger to the right people. Leave local businesses alone.

I'm watching a movie length documentary just now. Catching * in the City of Los Angeles. Docu about South Central. Predominantly the Watts district. It's filmed about 20 years after Rodney King and is very warts and all, right up close and personal with the gangs and the police.

Police said the area will never be able to thrive for a number of reasons but a big one is, even 20 years later, businesses are reluctant to open in South Central incase it happens again.

Same happened, albeit on a much smaller scale, after George Floyd.

Face the police, not your neighbours in your corner shops.

ACAB.

 

Dunno man. You get black police who hate black people too. Unless it was a case of...we better join in too

 

Can we accuse a black person of being racist against another black person?

It's institutionalized. Racism is rampant in the police force on America so black cops feel the need to overcompensate. Much like token Tims in the Lanarkshire referees association. They know what's required to be accepted and to get ahead.

 

There was a scene in Boyz in the hood where they get pulled over and the black cop was worse than the white one coz he just thought all young black kids were wee gangstas. Get what you're saying though

 

They'll blame it on poor training or some * but the truth is, they've allowed too many cops to get away with too much over the years and now they think they can do what they want.

Daniel Shaver one was beyond ridiculous. Guy done everything they asked and was shot to bits. Cop got suspended or some * so he could keep his police pension.

 

The videos are sickening. They deserve to be jailed for a long time for murder.

The officers behaved like animals and their behaviour was extreme over nothing. I think there will be more incidents of their conduct to come out.

 

1312 *!!!

 

Was that the one on the hotel lobby?

 

This is there modus operandi. One shouts down on the ground, other pig shouts on your knees. Hands in the air, behind your back, stand up sit down do the hokey pokey.

Fire enough commands and they can easily claim non compliance or resisting arrest.

 

Aye, was brutal. Wee bully victim * just wanted to kill somebody.

Another one with a big boy at some shops and they all pile on him and crush his chest. That country is a riot.

 

Bodycam footage shows one claiming he tried to grab his gun when other polis show up. Usual cover up story.

 

Has there been any violent protests about this.
