Why are they releasing this footage at 1900 local on a Friday night? That would seem to guarantee a full weekend of riots. They couldn't do it Mon or Tue morning? Not that many of the rioters work, but it might have reduced the bussing in that's going to occur for a weekend riot.

That's a rhetorical question, right?

Might be that they will reduce the number of risk to employees of businesses that would be open if they released it during the work weak.

Video is out.

I've only seen this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4DAQw-50-U

The audio didn't work for me, but maybe there isn't audio.

Frankly, the beating wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  I need to see other angles from the other officers.

My wife and I are watching a special report on NBC news right now.  Two videos have been shown so far.  We can see the handcuffed subject, who is not resisting, being kicked in the head and sustaining baton strikes.

Memphis burning yet, or is that reserved for when the cops are white and the alleged offender is a POC?

4 videos out.  3 body cams and 1 from a security camera.  The security camera shows the cops beating the suspect while cuffed.

The security cam video showing them holding him up and beating the crap out of him is pretty damning.  No justification for that.

It's pretty bad indeed.

I wonder if the fact they are already fired and charged with murder will limit some of the rioting.

Videos show more than 20 minutes pass before a stretcher arrives for Tyre Nichols

From CNN’s Jon Bonifield and Shawn Nottingham

Editor's note: This post contains graphic descriptions of violence.

Videos released by the Shelby County District Attorney’s office show the medical response to Tyre Nichols in the moments after his beating.

In a body camera video, a first responder briefly appears to render aid to Nichols but then leaves him unattended on the ground.

Nichols appears to attempt to push himself up to a sitting position a few minutes later while first responders stand around not aiding him.

One person can be heard saying, “it’s going to be awhile for an ambulance”.

The pole cam shows that 23 minutes pass from the time Nichols appears to be subdued and on his back on the ground before a stretcher arrives on scene. Two minutes later, an ambulance pulls into frame.

Also saw at least one of them doing a full force kick while he was lying on the ground.

I'm watching some video interviews of actual peaceful protestors this morning, and there seems to be a theme about "this is not about race". So it appears you do in fact need white cops involved for protests to become violent.

Yeah, well, they're communists. That's what they do.  They'd call for an afternoon of rage if a Starbucks employee misspelled their name on a frappuccino.

Yes I know that. My point was they don't care if it's a race issue or not.

So, what did the deceased do prior to the beat down?

Are black people going to burn down their own neighborhoods again, in an orgy of black-on-black violence, to protest this act of black-on-black violence?
