#PoliceBrutality #TyreNichols #Police
source
She just did what she was supposed to do
The police chief is not to be commended. She should be fired
PoLICE have been Raping, Murdering, and Brutalizing NonWhite ( racially classified as Black) Women, Children, and Men for 173 YEARS. It is a System. And whomever puts on a PoLICE costume is part of that system. Study the history of Policing in the United States.
That chief knows that she has ignored the complaints of these officer’s behavior in the past. She has been complicit. She still sings the praises of that unit! 💯👌🏾
An interview with a Forensic Psychologist every 3 months would fix a lot of problems within Police & EMS.
yea those cops deserve 100 years in prison
ich bin DEAF Deutschland Tourist , Bald nächsten Sommer Urlaub Reise Flüge nach Indianapolis [ IN ] , USA Polizei Überfall Waffen erschossen oder Prügel schlagen zu mir TOD und LEBEN , Ich hatte Angst !
A full panel of liberal idiots! Who's going to address the Elephant In The Room? This was a Black on Black crime! How are the BLM and the Dummycrats going to spin this incident?
All the males in my family are police officers. This beating was something you see in a max prison.
she is the one who put that unit on the street and she is also part of the problem, the buck starts and stops with her
BREAKING REAL NEWS!!! that nbc will be suppressing. Bidens illegals are refusing to leave the hotels that were housed in NYC. Watch a real news source for more.
This chief is trying to cover her butt
What about the communities tired of these pos mutt thugs?
We're going to have a revolution. It's inevitable, because they can't stop killing us.
Black culture reform might help your cause as well. They seem to glorify violent thuggish behavior. Rap music is a good example, but there are many. No one wants to talk about it for some reason. I feel bad for cops that have to patrol majority black neighborhoods as it's exponentially more dangerous.
Justice 💩
Quickly?
They really getting on my nerves because video evidence means everything so what they heck is they really saying…. I'm guessing they don't want just for innocent victims and the police beating has to stop?
the only reason this police chief acted was not because of body cams, it was because of the pole mounted skycam that showed this horrific beating from a wider perspective…officers have gotten wise to their own body cam exposure which is why the one officer turned away and pointed his BC AWAY from the beating…we have allowed our police to become militarized through their own self-interest and politics…ANY STATE ENTITY THAT HAS THE POWER TO ARREST YOU AND DENY YOU YOUR LIFE SHOULD BE RESTRAINED AND MONITORED!!!
END THIS CULTURAL POLICE VIOLENCE!!!! Fire all cops nationwide and hire highly screened officers!!!!!
the news media is a joke
Hays dude is a true Republican.
The put diversity first instead of qualified people for these job not only are just blacks everyone and we all are mixed people anyway pull back out of it people pierod are scared that this could happen to anyone
You need better qualified people not just diversity people who are not qualified for the job
Whites will be blamed . Some how some way.
The unfortunate outcome is certain people in this country are more prepared to act violently against law enforcement. If the persons who hold the power the commit change do not act in changing a broken system in the police force, I would say sooner than later, people in this country will, in all probability take matters into their own hands. It is not a good time to be any police officer, not now not in the future, not in the past as long as unions, Community leaders, Politicians and people in charge allow these kind of actions by the police to continue. Mental health evaluations should be mandatory, reviews on behavior should be common place. What other country in the world has the issues, many different issues that the US has in abundance? Come on, think it through.
She has had complaints on them before. I live in Memphis
The chief need to be fired quit giving excuses for that that woman
Of course, the Police union
for oncecondemns this… it's because all the cops charged are black. Had they included the white cop that was also tasing Tyre, they wouldn't be so quick to condemn them.Derek Chauvin was fired the next day…arrested four days later. Why didn’t that happen here?
Can we talk about why Memphis needed a Scorpion Unit? Let’s ask the Memphis Black community why they choose to commit violent crimes disproportionately.
Seen it all before , how horrific to watch that Law Enforcement is part of it.
SHE HAD NO CHOICE IT WAS CAUGHT ON CITY CAMERA
THE KILLERS ARE OUT ON BOND
The only person qualified to speak to what is going on in black communities with these continual beatings and killings of black boys, men, women and girls is Amiche. We don't want empty words enough keep them to yourselves if you have done nothing to change it!
so!, as a his Lawyer!, it was the Faulty Brake light!, that drove my Client!, to use reasonable force?, dragging/ Yelling/Spraying/ Punching/ Kicking/ Bashing/ KILLING this AT FAULT DRIVER?, rest my case!.
Yamiche is an excellent reporter, but she does not speak for all African American people. African Americans (are not) fearful of death. But African Americans are extremely disappointed in a government system that fails to protect all of its citizens. African Americans have answered every call to fight in all wars this nation has engaged in; and we did so valiantly. We answered the call. All we ask of America is to have the courage to answer our call. Yes, we do want federal legislation that will create a (national database) of cops and security officers (who carry a gun) who have committed or conspired to commit violent felonious crimes against any United States citizen. This legislation should also include a requirement for every police and security officer in the nation to attend (Deescalation Training) two times per year. These training sessions should be witnessed by at least two impartial citizens (at least one of whom is from the African American community). These citizens should be randomly selected to be witnesses.
Also, we desire nation wide (prison reform). If you have the power to order a prisoner to obey prison rules, then you have the power to (require) prisoners to obtain their GED or if they already have a high school diploma, then they should be required to learn a trade that will equip them to earn a living for themselves and for their families upon their release. If prisoners prefer to take college courses during extended sentences, then the state should be obliged to provide a curriculum that will lead to obtaining a degree (and that will assure that they have the qualifications to obtain full time employment upon their release). A program should be developed that (with extended "good behavior") would completely expunge a prisoner's sentence.
In addition to these requests of our government, we desire federal legislation that (requires) states to build new schools in poor communities to replace dilapidated ones; and build community centers within close proximity of the schools. These centers would provide safe havens and after school study spaces for our vulnerable children. We want the schools and community centers that the federal government builds for our children to be randomly monitored / inspected by an independent auditing firm. We also want new legislation drafted that will assure the proper upkeep and funding of all HBCUs. We desire federal funds to be made available for the proper upkeep of said colleges and universities.
This should also include random federal auditing of the (accounting) books as well as inspection of extant infrastructure/buildings on HBCU campuses. Citizens of a nation should never fear their government. On the contrary, we should love our government. But love must be earned. There is no longer a need for the various powerful "Estates" in our great nation to continue exploiting those whom you deem to be members of the proletariat. The aforementioned may be somewhat lofty goals, but so were the goals that permitted us to travel to the moon. We want a government that wants the very best for its citizens…a government that is willing to work on behalf of its citizens. If you think that you fit the bill, then we want you to stay and begin creating laws that equitably benefit all the people of the United States. If you do not believe that you are able or willing to honorably serve all U.S. citizens all the time, then please do everyone a big favor and just go away.
