  1. Sometimes, pigs get slaughtered for food. I'm just saying… pork is delicious. I like a good hot dog every once in a while. Ham makes for a tasty sandwich. Salami and pepperoni are great on a pizza. Sausage goes great with eggs and toast in the morning.

  2. These cowards are going to jail for a long time.

  3. Đánh dã man trong khi nghi phạm đã bị khống chế.

  4. Loool and they intend to plead not guilty!!!

  5. Tragic. Thankfully, The 5 animals have been removed from duty

  6. Racist cops.. 🤦🏼‍♂️

  7. Death penalty for real

  8. I hope their officers get life in prison without parole!!!!🖕🚓 👮

  9. Memphis Police Department Officers Demetrius Haley, Tadarrius Bean, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills and Justin Smith all need to see mob dealt justice. Like the justice they dealt out

  10. What is most upsetting is this could be one of us man or woman and someone any one's family member and maybe one of their family members getting pulled over and this happens how do these acts of harm or death done by officers keep going on like it's nothing and nothing for us all to see and watch it's like call the president and put it on the News Coverage who wants to see people getting hurt or beating to death it's just so uncomfortable and unbelievable by officers it really hard to watch some one pleasing for help with 2 – or 3 – 4 people beating on a person look like they were holding him up what do their family think after seeing this as being a police officer

  11. Good luck getting me to stop for flashing blue and red.

  12. No pity for criminals. Resisting arrest, fleeing the scene. Reaching for an officers gun and assaulting an officer, what do expect hugs n kisses? 🤷‍♂️

  13. Not white cops. No memorial to victim.

  14. This happens all the time you just happen to have footage here. 90% of cops need to be in jail.

  15. We have been marching for over 50 years about the same abuses with no changes.

  16. Don’t matter the race, there are certain police officers that are just down right an epidemic of evil.

  17. First degree, not second

  18. This is lawless land . This is cowardly act

  19. They murdered this poor guy.

  20. This was not their first beating. where were all the good cops over the past 20years as they escalated to this. My guess is the didnt exist.

  21. They are not police officers, they are thugs with badges and guns.

  22. Impossible for this to be a first attack. Tops acting surprised and devastated – 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ exposed

  23. Nice content…..I'm so opportuned irrespective of the economic crisis and financial conditions I am still able to earn $33,500 returns from my initial $6,500 every 10days.

  24. So discussed watching this video . They knew what they were doing to him right from the begining . This should have never ever happen. They all should be charged with murder.

  25. My condoleance to the family

  26. Frankly people need to intervene and bum rush the thugs in blue when this happens. Maybe iof they had here and in MN both victims would be alive. No I do not respect police.

  27. Nobody will talk about this in 2 weeks. But I’ll never forget how the media promoted a snuff film like it was a pay-per-view event.

  28. getting rodney king vibes here. truly disturbing

  29. They will get the same thing in jail

    Throw them to the Aryan white boys … WE don’t claim them

  30. Thugs with badges. Now they face sitting in population with inmates they arrested over time.

  31. I hope everyone of them officers goes to prison and when they do they're going to have to put them in cells by themselves isolation 100% a bunch of sissies as far as I'm concerned they deserve everything they get and then some they're going to get some crazy Karma

  32. That was very disgusting they need to be in jail for life. but let me also say, when white cops does the same thing to Black's the system doesn't move this fast with an arrest and with camera footage. I'm just saying!!!!!
