  1. This is what you get from defunding the police: stupid coops. Nothing to do with racism as many msm wants it to be

  2. Cop training!!!! It's unacceptable that Police Officers pass a few month course to become officers! In Europe its academy which last couple of years! We are employing people who are inadequately trained and inadequately checked if they are fit for public service!!!

  3. Can’t blame it on whites now can you

  4. Crime is about to take off in Memphis.

  5. Crooked as copss. They need to start requiring some type of higher education and higher pay to atleast make it harder for the profession to be accessed by these no good thugs

  6. This does not look like a simple traffic stop. The intensity of the beating suggests it is personal. If an estranged husband wants his wife dead, a single bullet to the head will in most cases suffice, but if he stabs her 10 to 50 times. In my opinion, it becomes personal.

  7. NAACP, suggestion, since your organization desires to stop police from conducting traffic stops on Afro-American males who drive recklessly which endangers the lives of innocent Afro-Americans, please post signs, ā€œAfro-American people are driving on these roads. Many Afro-American men refuses to obey traffic safety laws. Thanks to the NAACP, Police are no longer allowed to stop them. Therefore drive at your own risk. Signed NAACP

  8. Elephant in the Room. Nobody will acknowledge it. Keep hiring people who have no business wearing a Badge and you will keep seeing this.

  9. Our prayers our prayers…….. Theres no justice God doesnt hear your wicked prayers

  10. So from the written report they claimed he was recklessly driving, that’s why he was pulled over. Words were said, he refused to put his hands above his head. Somewhere along the line he tried to evade arrest, got tased (which didn’t work) got pepper sprayed (held his hands up to block the spray and the spray (since it is wet) ricocheted back on the cop 😭) I’m sure that pissed them off. And then he was beaten. EMTs we’re called by the police and 3 days later he died at the hospital.

    My mom always told me survive the encounter. Whether white cop or black. You don’t know who your dealing with. Don’t fight there, fight it in court.

  11. I’m just saying. We all knows why it was swiftly taken care of this time verses past times. šŸ‘€ Also, let’s not forget there was a Caucasian police officer there as well. (But, they not speaking up on that.)
    This is truly sad all the way around.

  12. I’m surprised black people aren’t embarrassed already of the fact that all the police officers involved in this beating were black. This makes it a black on black crime. Stop blaming it on the police, and educated your own people on how to act in a civilized society. Ain’t no amount of ā€œpolice reformā€ is gonna get the ā€œhoodā€ out of these goofs. That’s they MAMA’s problem.

  13. Are they ever going to show the full video?

  14. He was probably fooling around with one of the cops daughters. I could picture them reacting over something stupid like that.

  15. Yeah make sure you call it a racist thing too .. got to add that white element in there somewhere.. you people are the real racists look in the fucking mirror. Always blaming everybody for racism.. got2b the white man somehow

  16. Where is the national association for the advance,met of white people?

  17. the problem is that the Police are having a hard time recruiting good people, so there are only bad people left.

    In my view, police academies should be run by LGBTIQ like schools and universities, and look at how young people are so polite, generous, mature and responsible….🤣..

  18. Investing in cryptocurrency now should be in every wise individuals list, in some months time you'll be ecstatic with the decision you made today.āœ“**

  19. You can't train basic humanity unfortunately. Regardless of procedures , there needs to be a respect for human life.

  20. It's funny seeing the few White people in the protest crowds looking awkward, nervous and so scared the Mob might turn on them at any given moment lol

  21. This is absolutely horrifying, everyone involved should be charged with murder..unbelievable that they were even allowed to post bail..

  22. He says a lot but has no idea how to do it

  23. So these chargers that are cop cars that they drive around and don’t have Dash cams? As soon as they saw him driving erratically, there should be some evidence of them, signaling him to pull over where is that footage he was at a red light with his turn signal on, I don’t think they ever signaled him to pull over. That was there a whole justification for yanking him out of the car to begin with.
