Trouble in Memphis?
« on: January 26, 2023, 08:23:34 AM »
I caught this story this morning. Apparently a (non-shooting) death of a subject who was chased down by cops. There seem to be racial overtones, though it appears all the cops were black too. The article tells me absolutely nothing besides the warning of the usual violence.

The officers were all black.
The police chief is black.
The  mayor is bl.... err white., Got our racist connection.

Possibility he died from drugs he swallowed to hide them?

Two personnel from the Memphis Fire Department have also been fired, and an internal investigation has been launched.

Article doesn't why they were fired

Don't look good for the officers involved

Quote
Memphis man Tyre Nichols, who died three days after a 'violent' traffic stop, suffered 'extensive bleeding caused by a severe beating,' according to preliminary results of an autopsy commissioned by attorneys for his family.

Quote
Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn Davis said in an address on Wednesday that the incident showed a ‘disregard for basic human rights’ noting that police officers are under oath to ‘do the opposite’ of what took place in the video.

Way the article describes the video footage it sounds like a scared kid.

Was the kid gay or something?  But just being a smartass can result in extralegal punishment, Terry said, adding "...I guess..."

Those 5 officers were arrested today and charged with second-degree murder along with other charges.

The video will be released soon and it sounds like it will be ugly.

He took them on a foot chase.  That might do it as well.  On the other hand, some past videos I have seen, the suspects can sometimes put up a hell of a fight to prevent themselves being handcuffed. 

Quote
Authorities transported Nichols to St. Francis Hospital in critical condition, and he died three days later on Jan. 10, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

In a joint statement issued Tuesday night from lawyers Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci, they said following an independent autopsy on Nichols’ body carried out by a "highly regarded, nationally renowned forensic pathologist," preliminary findings indicated that "Tyre suffered extensive bleeding caused by a severe beating."

He survived for 3 days.  I assume the video will show something and I assume the hospital will have records of the condition he was in when he showed up.

Time for the cognitive disconnect.
Five black men jailed.

One black man killed by the police

Justice for Tyre!

Just because the officers were black doesn’t mean they aren’t violent ultra maga white supremisists promoting institutional systemic racism.

Sounded a little like pack behavior.

I recall the case of Abner Louima in New York in 1966.  (At that point in time I was in Colorado but still paid attention to New York happenings, mainly through one of my nieces.)

Tough reading, get ready with a waterproof wastebasket:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abner_Louima

That case seemed to have certain similarities except Mr. Louima survived.  I wonder what evidence will turn up here.

It’s inevitable.  BLM and Antifa look for excuses to destroy communities, whether it’s one of their own committing a crime or not.

The left consistently has canned stories ready to go - hence, the guy was killed by cops who were supporting the white nationalists...
 
And... It doesn't matter that the cops were black, because a LOT of the folks will completely ignore that, because there has as of late been more and more tendency to stick with the initial story, regardless of what is revealed.

I saw a snippet of the Memphis police chief saying that the video to be released is worse than the Rodney King video.

Which could mean we'll see something worse than the Reginald Denny video.

No matter the police officer's race they're doing the white man's bidding.
