Five Memphis police officers charged over death of Tyre Nichols
A black man was beaten and killed by five police officers.
So where are the riots in the street and across the US [and the UK] - where are the BLM protests.
I guess we need more knees to be taken by football players, seeing as its clearly worked so well.
Anyway ... turns out the officers were black as well, so I guess that explains it.

Of course, someone still had to try and twist the blame onto white people ... even though none were involved.
Apparently it was Tyre Nichols fault for not being white.
Quote:
Reverend Al Sharpton, a US civil rights leader ... said he believes the outcome would have been different if the alleged victim in the incident was white.

I do not believe these five black police officers would have done this had he been a young white man.

You could not make this nonsense up.

Re: Five Memphis police officers charged over death of Tyre Nichols
Sadly I think it's a police versus the public rather than white on black,black on white or black on black issue.

Actually it's Black versus everybody, including other Black people. How many Black people have been killed by BLM protestors?
When White people have been killed in similar circumstances, it barely makes the news, and certainly doesn't get a comment from the President.

How does it not make sense? Just look at the reality. At least(that I know of) 2 Black people were killed in BLM protests. One of them was a 8 year old girl. In the UK which groups are responsible for most stabbings, and which groups tend to be their victims?
If he had just complied with the Police officers, it would likely have just all passed off with incident. Instead he decided to run and resist.
Why do they seem to think that whether they are completely innocent or were a serial killer, that if they run away or resist, they should be let go? Don't get that mentality.

Not sure that running away from the police merits getting beaten to death - seems a bit harsh...

Re: Five Memphis police officers charged over death of Tyre Nichols
I know we have issues with the police but you look at the complete lottery that is US Police Departments and see how much worse it could be. The quickness to random violence and lethal force there, the militarisation of many of their police forces and the lack of training in de-escalation is mad. Too often you see examples like this where they resort to the most extreme actions immediately.

Anyone seen the video, it's quite sickening and if you haven't seen it my advice is to carry on not seeing it

Yes, saw it a little earlier today. It absolutely beggars belief. I am unable to comprehend a culture that allows anyone in uniform to think it’s acceptable to beat a man senseless with a baton, while he is restrained and prone on the ground. The things people do, especially the things we do in any official capacity, don’t occur at random. They arise from our ingrained sense of what’s proportionate, what’s acceptable or at the very least what we think we can safely get away with.
And this wasn’t a ‘bad apple’ incident. There were *five* of them, and the bloke with the baton clearly decided what he was going to do with it and went ahead with some determination, while the rest of them actively facilitated it and then conspired to spin the story in an acceptable light afterwards.

Re: Five Memphis police officers charged over death of Tyre Nichols
Saw it on the Sky News site earlier.
I wasnt aware until then that he actually ran off after they first stopped him, and they then chased him, and beat him up when they caught him.
Running off was probably not the best plan, but the way they acted on catching him is unforgivable, they were nothing more than thugs in uniform.
How on earth did they think they would get away with this. They need locking up, for a very long time.
