The 5 cops who arrested and beat Nichols have already been fired, and the body cam footage of the arrest gets released next week.

The rumors are that the footage is even worse and more disturbing than the Floyd/Chauvin video, and businesses in Memphis are already buying insurance for riot damage.

Not a good sign that the 5 cops are getting fired this early, that’s a pretty high bar to meet so quickly.

All 5 cops were (are) black. Not sure which way the axe will fall, since they were fired. If it was white cops they'd still be investigating.

Yep. They were black and they were wearing plain clothes. Seems like another plain clothes unit with no real mandate other than stopping anyone who looked suspicious and was out of control.

Doesn't matter; all the cops were black so it does not fit the narrative. Story goes no where, tbh.

Unless they find out one of the cops was raised by a white guy...then they can tell you the father was an evil man full of white privilege and toxic masculinity.

Maybe it’s just me but an ill tempered jerk off with a brutality record never facing accountability and being able to keep putting on his uniform until he kills someone while he’s being recorded is a problem that requires reform, regardless of whether a racial element exists.

In this case, it sounds like a plain clothes unit that has way too much freedom to stop people for no real reason. Something else that’s happened a lot before (involving both black and white cops) and requires significant reform.

I'm guessing you don't actually check your facts before making these kind of emotionally driven comments.

Do you think 200 cops were killed nationwide by black people in 2022? More cops died from the "hoax" COVID-19 than from gunfire. That's a fact.

Correct.

If the officer is right handed, their service weapon is on their right hip side and the taser is on their left hip side.

It was not a mistake!

The cops there also get years (as oppose to months) of training, their pay is better which definitely helps in making it so they're not pissed off all the time, and they have MORE police per capita (that's why defund the police is retarded...the solution is more police so law enforcement is more local + and we get rid of plain clothes units that get to roam around the whole city like goons).

Only giving cops 21 weeks of training (on average what US cops get) is taking the rights you're giving cops for granted. Someone should get 2-3 years of training before being vested with the right to stop anyone on the sidewalk.

Plain clothes cops have enough time on the force to know better. Like dogs, more than one in a situation leads to out of control gang style beatdowns. Any of those cops had the power to put a stop to it, none did. Memphis Mafia.

In an attempt to quell public outrage over the upcoming release of body-cam footage showing the deadly beating of Tyre Nichols by five of its officers, the Memphis Police Department continued to urge calm Thursday in light of the unspeakable evil they had committed. “I understand that this heinous atrocity beyond the comprehension of anyone with a shred of basic human decency might be upsetting to some, but we are asking everyone to please maintain their composure,” said police chief Cerelyn Davis, explaining that while it was regrettable that officers were mercilessly slaughtering innocents in the streets with complete disregard for their humanity, it was no excuse for causing a big commotion. “This barbaric instance of malice and savagery need not inspire uproar. I pray that cooler heads prevail during this time of unending death and misery being inflicted upon the powerless masses.” Davis went on to insist that any sign of unrest would only give the forces of unconscionable evil an excuse to impose even more wanton suffering on those who have no choice but to endure it.https://www.theonion.com/police-urge-calm-in-light-of-unspeakable-evil-they-comm-1850036255

I am willing to bet - he also - knew what he was about to do (premeditation) because mysteriously his camera went out while he was assaulting the suspect -
and he was a grossly out of shape and could barely catch his breath although when you do get pepper sprayed the first thing that happens is you panic and lose your breathing - or stop breathing out of panic -

this is why he was pissed and out for revenge - what a dumbshit - and what a lack of training by those idiots

This is what I meant when I said "which way the axe falls". Since both the victim and the perps are black, who will wear the victim hat here? The officers were fired really quickly, but how high up do you have to go in the MPD before you encounter a white person to pin it on?

Having watching the video, I think Tyre was on something as well, but you cannot tell me 4 officers cannot handcuff one person without beating them to death. I also wonder if the officer that sprayed pepper spray in his partner's face helped instigate the escalation as the new officers arrived and saw the stumbling officer, not knowing the deal.

Keystone cops. They should have just confiscated his ride and gotten a warrant to search his home. He would have come back for it eventually.

The officer who pulled Tyre Nichols (https://apnews.com/hub/tyre-nichols) from his car before police fatally beat him never explained why he was being stopped, newly released documents show, and emerging reports from Memphis residents (https://apnews.com/article/law-enforcement-tyre-nichols-memphis-1844a7b20e3c7745db2b84677b86abee) suggest that was common.

The Memphis Police Department blasted Demetrius Haley and four other officers as “blatantly unprofessional” and asked that they be stripped of the ability to work as police for their role in the Jan. 7 beating, (https://apnews.com/article/law-enforcement-police-brutality-memphis-bde48465a79bb20bbb68473c0cc63b1e) according to documents released Tuesday by the Tennessee Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission.

They also include revelations that Haley took photographs of Nichols (https://apnews.com/article/dallas-tyre-nichols-memphis-cbbe59c3c077525a9baf0a92ee255cf6) as he lay propped against a police car, then sent the photos to other officers and a female acquaintance.

Nichols died three days later — the latest police killing to prompt nationwide protests and an intense public conversation about how police treat Black residents.

Yet what led to it all remains a mystery.



A federal lawsuit filed Tuesday accuses the same officers now charged with murdering Nichols, 29, (https://apnews.com/article/tyre-nichols-profile-memphis-3104f3cdbaf568daf6647eca080d4001) with also violating the rights of another man from the same neighborhood as Nichols during a similarly violent arrest three days before Nichols’ arrest.

According to the lawsuit, Monterrious Harris, 22, was visiting a cousin at an apartment on the evening of Jan. 4 when his car was “suddenly swarmed by a large group of assailants wearing black ski-masks, dressed in black clothing, brandishing guns, other weapons, hurling expletives and making threats to end his life if he did not exit his car.”

Harris thought the men were trying to rob him, the lawsuit says, and he tried to back up his car before hitting something. He then reluctantly exited with his hands raised and was “grabbed, punched, kicked and assaulted” for up to two minutes, the complaint states. The beating stopped only after people came out of their apartments to see what was happening, the lawsuit alleges.
Photos of Harris’ face taken after his release on bail about nine days later show thick scabs on his forehead and a healing black eye.

The suit accuses officers of fabricating evidence to support charges against Harris, including being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun, criminal trespass and evading arrest.
Also, a woman told WREG-TV that she tried to warn the Memphis Police Department about Haley after a Feb. 21, 2021, encounter. Kadejah Townes said she was returning a movie to a Redbox machine at a Walgreens when police responded to a false shooting call. Police initially told her she could leave, she said, but then officers stopped her when she put her car in reverse. Haley placed handcuffs on Townes so roughly that she feared her arm was dislocated, she said.

Her aunt recorded the encounter. Then police stopped her aunt and brother while they followed a squad car as it took Townes to a hospital. Townes said she was never charged with anything.

Haley’s disciplinary file showed that after Townes filed a complaint, he was written up for failing to fill out proper paperwork — not ​for use of force.
“I wasn’t surprised,” Townes told the TV station.
