[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Stay safe Memphis, TN. Tyre Nichols Murder. Update: Officers charged. Video released. (Page 17 of 27)
|
Quoted: You don’t cuff someone actively resisting..,cuffs go on when resisting has mostly stopped. Otherwise, the suspect will use the cuffs as a weapon and you have to shoot them while they go brass knuckles on your face with your own cuffs. Kinda hard to comply when someone is throwing blows to your head while his friends hold you up with your arms behind your back after one just used your head to try out to be the Cowboys kicker. |
|
Quoted: Have they released the criminal records of the cops? I wouldnt be surprised if at least a few of them had priors before joining the force. The trial will be the most interesting thing here. An utter failure by every government agency involved I’m sure. The government fucks up just about anything they touch. |
|
Quoted: My wife said they kept shouting “get your hands behind your back!” That sounds like trying to get him in cuffs to me. Quoted: Quoted: Because the cops were trying to beat him, not cuff him. They actually gave him room to get to his feet in the second encounter. At no point did they even attempt to get him in cuffs during either encounter. My wife said they kept shouting “get your hands behind your back!” That sounds like trying to get him in cuffs to me. Did you watch the video? Would it surprise you that sometimes the words coming out of people's mouths dint match their actions? |

Good news everyone. Antifa is on scene in Memphis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBafKIJapsE |

Quoted: He also fought through a can f OC, a taser, and kicked the officer you see limping around…along with fighting his way from the ground to his feet twice while 4-5 guys failed to keep him down. That suspect is a champ at escaping custody and totally ignoring non lethal weapons. He resisted…for a long time. Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: So, have they determined the final cause of death? Was it as a result of the beating, the tasering, the pepper spray, a combo, what? I'm going to guess trauma to the brain will be the proximate cause of death. The taser wasn't very effective and the OC spray ended up on the officers as much as on the suspect. The beating, however, went entirely one way. I didn't see the deceased throw a punch or kick. He tried to get loose and get away, but he didn't manifest any aggression. One of the cops standing around after, tried to claim that Tyre tried to go for his gun (actually says something like, "He literally had his hand on my gun"). No idea what happened before the pole camera panned over, but I definitely didn't see him fighting, swinging, or reaching for anyone's sidearm. Was he resisting? Yeah, in the initial stop, he refused to lie on his stomach and put his right arm behind him, and when they kept asking, and trying, he used the opportunity to squirm out and bolt. Used the same technique in the 2nd video, laying on his right side without putting his right arm behind his back. At some point, they were spraying him in the face, then kicking and striking, and he was just trying to protect his head by that point, but again, don't know why the culture seems to be all about noncompliance, while repeating, "What did I do? I didn't do nuthin!". The roadside isn't the place to argue with LE, while refusing to comply. No idea what kind of "Respect My Authority!" types you might piss off (like the white officer who cuffs the skinny white kid, then drags him to the pavement and deliberately drops him on his face from a few feet up, while the kid's hands are cuffed behind his back). He also fought through a can f OC, a taser, and kicked the officer you see limping around…along with fighting his way from the ground to his feet twice while 4-5 guys failed to keep him down. That suspect is a champ at escaping custody and totally ignoring non lethal weapons. He resisted…for a long time. If we're talking about the 2nd location (where the beatdown occurred), was the officer limping because he got kicked, or limping because he hurt himself trying to score a field goal with Tyre's head? As for fighting his way from the ground to his feet, the only time I'd give him that, was the original stop, where he squirmed out from what looks like only one guy holding him, then bolted. At the 2nd location, I didn't really see any sign that he "fought his way from the ground, back to his feet, while 4-5 guys failed to keep him down". What I saw was initially one guy on him, yelling "Give me your hands!", while a bunch of out of breath guys walked around, then one sprays Tyre in the face with pepper spray. Then 2 guys grab Tyre's arms and hold him as one guy kicks him in the head twice, then they hold him as the guy with a baton repositions for a better angle to swing at Tyre's head/neck at least twice, then they stand him up holding his arms as officer haymaker takes the free headshots (at least 2 rights that I saw, and a left that makes Tyre's legs go limp, at which point, the 2 holding him get him back on the ground, and I think, finally cuff him). |

Quoted: Did you watch the video? The cops were aggressive immediately. Tyre was calm in the beginning. He said ok to their commands many times. The officers could have easily de-escalated the situation and cuffed him had their been their real intention. If you watch the video, it seems likely he ran because he felt scared by how aggressive the police were towards him for what was supposedly just a traffic violation stop. Considering he was near his parents house when they caught him (and he mentions he was just trying to get home in the first video), it stands to reason he was trying to run home. It has been mentioned multiple times but they never truly gave him the ability to comply. They pulled him out of the vehicle immediately. They threw him to the ground on his side and threatened to use a taser and pepper spray within seconds of taking him down. They were in such a hurry to use the taser and pepper spray, they ended up doing it to themselves. The cops did not try to de escalate the situation at any point in time. The victim did nothing to deserve any of the treatment he got. Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: How bout don't run from the police and he wouldn't be dead possibly.  /media/mediaFiles/sharedAlbum/hes_right_you_know-328.jpg if he didnt do anything wrong, then why the hell did he run.... thats the question Did you watch the video?

The victim did nothing to deserve any of the treatment he got. That was kind of my thoughts. I generally have very little sympathy for those who flee the cops but in this case it seems he may have done it out of legitimate fear and I almost understand. |

RIP Autozone and Walgreens. |

Quoted: who gives a shit. both comments were strictly referring to black people. Nothing subtle about it Report me if I violated the COC. The statement still stands, As we do not have this kinda problem here. You may not like that fact but it is indeed a statistical fact and easily proven. |

Dude is literally in here running his trap about a video he hasnt watched based on information his wife heard. That is awesome. |

Quoted: If there was video maybe it will come out but we are also talking unmarked cars. Either way it shows the feral culture inside a large department. There are so many things at play with these videos it’s almost hard to list. We almost have to treat them as 3-4 separate events. Initial stop, if there is one. The seemingly unannounced pullout. The struggle near the home. The payback ass kicking near the home. And then not rendering any aid while cuffed. No doubt that department has huge problems. From use of force, lack of field leadership, inability for a handful to restrain a 150 pound man, to not rendering aid, to pepper spraying themselves multiple times, to bragging about the ass whooping you got to do. That was just another day for everybody involved, including Fire and the other cops who showed up. Dumpster fire. |

Quoted: who gives a shit. both comments were strictly referring to black people. Nothing subtle about it I mean. . . . you ever take a look at the safest states in the country? Attached File You ever look at the whitest states in the country? Attached File Only thing subtle about it is that you won't find many sources which are willing to make the connection

I've done it more times than i can remember, dozens at least, you just need at least one person to help, preferably two. If you wait for them to stop, they wont. Last guy had 20-30 pounds on me. Me, a female cop, and another guy my size got him into cuffs with him resisting the whole way. It took less than two minutes and zero strikes were thrown. They had 4-5 guys there that all had 60 pounds on me and the guy they were dealing with was very thin build. JFC the guy wasn't actively assaulting police, just resisting arrest. And pretty mildly at that. |

Can't tell you how many police videos I've watched where the guy is yelling "I"M COMPLYING!" while simultamiously doing everything they possibly can to shake the cops and run away Yup. That's the thought I had on the initial traffic stop. Tyre says, "OK, OK" without actually making any attempt to lay on his stomach and get his right hand behind his back, then goes back to the, "Why? I didn't do anything". |
|
Quoted: It’s literally on video. The suspect fought two sets of cops…went from standing to prone to OC to standing to taser to running…escape for a while…to standing to prone to standing to finally getting cuffed in standing position while fighting…to seated against a car and finally stopping his resistance. He must have had serious cardio. That’s a crazy long fight. He likely physically fought 10 people inside 30 minutes while covered in OC. "Suspect"?? You're all the same. He's the "victim". Based on your posts you're the "baddie". Try as you may no reasonable man is going to agree with you that this kid is the one who escalated this horrific murder. Stop trying to gaslight everyone with this "he could have stopped this" bullshit. Fuck your compliance. |

In this case, the cops were doing it. |

I was one of those cops, I'd punch the guy spraying all the fucking OC. I hated when guys got spray happy. You're not helping, moron. Not for nothin', but that dude was spry. And, those cops were scary. I wouldn't have resisted. They all had that "We're gonna stomp your ass" tone of voice. |
|
Quoted: /media/mediaFiles/sharedAlbum/hes_right_you_know-328.jpg if he didnt do anything wrong, then why the hell did he run.... thats the question One of the cops ran like a little bitch when he caught a bit of pepper spray. That might be a clue. |
|
Quoted: Yeah, I see that happen all the time. In this case, the cops were doing it. This is a tense thread, I'm not excusing the actions of the cops. They got stupid, then emotional, then decided they wanted some extra payback and ended up killing the guy. If you can't deal with a guy who is going to try and resist arrest then you shouldn't be in the field. |
|
Quoted: That is what the Memphis news is reporting. They are showing the bodycam videos in snippets Reporters are saying the downtown businesses are barricading and boarding-up. https://www.actionnews5.com/livestream/ This shit is gonna explode. No way it doesn't. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/105614/Untitled_jpg-2687894.JPG I just hope it only hits the legitimate targets responsible. |

Quoted: Anyone ever notice these riots happening and those who get away with it all have something in common, almost like standards are seemingly different?  Quoted: Quoted: https://www.foxnews.com/us/memphis-police-release-bodycam-footage-of-tyre-nichols-traffic-stop-recorded-3-days-before-his-death Out of an abundance of caution, my Memphis, TN based employer just told personnel to go home for the day and to work from home for the rest of the week if they can. Fire departments are in lockdown mode and prepping for riots. Good luck y’all. Anyone ever notice these riots happening and those who get away with it all have something in common, almost like standards are seemingly different? What, like they're part of Congress or something? |

You have 3-4 cops going "hands on" the guy and the 5th cop comes in with a taser and the other cops let him go and back away? Edit- NM, appears I misremembered the timeline on the first video. |

Quoted: I was one of those cops, I'd punch the guy spraying all the fucking OC. I hated when guys got spray happy. You're not helping, moron. Looking at the totality of the officers’ actions and the multiple uses of OC, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were spray happy because the effects last much longer than a taser (think of it as a punishment) and/or spray raises less use of force questions in that department than a taser deployment so they were able to use it more often. In other words, the OC wasn’t being used to “help” them. |
