There needs to be protests like this for victims of crimes here in San Francisco, CA, and yes if this was the other way around there would be chaos on the streets!
“Crimes Operation to Restore Peace in Our Neighborhood”, or Scorpion (acronym says it all) units are what defunding the police in certain cities looks like. The City of Memphis, & those who pushed to defund LEO own this sickening display of cowardice, & murder of an innocent man by poorly trained, unfit individuals whose sole task was “Restoring Peace in Memphis Neighborhoods”.
Yes, we can use the sheriff depth for help. The police don't help us.they kill us. We need help, this is a life of pain and suffering. Age 61 just working 2 jobs just to pay rent, that's our life here in Oregon.
“More to the story“ as in more lies by the gang of five thugs. They've already been caught lying in the video. 1- The victim took a swing at one of them as he got out of the car. 2- The victim tried to grab one of their guns.
@FirstName LastName There is more to the story. Tyre Nichols was dating the same woman as one of the cops. The cop decided to delete his competition. I live in Memphis, and people are talking.
There is more of the story. Cynical from the defense attorney. A hancuffed man, beaten to dead, on camera. Come on, if justice served, they should never leave prison, ever.
Clearly you don't live here, cause if you did, you would know that was video from somewhere else, because that's not an sfpd car. We don't have cars with diagonal patterned lights on top. All of our cars have the normal shaped light bar. That video was either Philly, New York, or Chicago from my guess, as they all use that style of police car lights.
This happened in Memphis! It is horrifying, yes. But these people are protesting something in another state, while there are countless problems in San Francisco, that are ongoing. People should maybe get as angry over problems in their own communities as they do about things elsewhere.
With the diversity hire affirmative action style practices that most police agencies adhere to, you can expect to see these types of incidents more and more
@Zen i still like cops, i've only had three minor rights violations with them despite many encounters. the cams have improved things, but this disaster shows the personnel record disclosure and monitoring need a do-over. i hope the dems and gop can agree on it. also the hospital that had him for three days, many people pass every year from medical errors and racial disparities in treatment.
The problem is not the cops,the problem is us as a society,we are our own problem. People protest before hand,destroying other peoples properties,business, as if that is right to do..
If he would comply, none of this would happen. Honestly, i feel more sorry for those officers. It’s really very difficult to be a police officer nowadays.. and those whoever carries “socialism “ banner, you guys better move socialists countries if you don’t like it here
He didn't comply. They told him to get on his stomach so they could cuff him. They don't know if he has a weapon so when he fights and won't be still they fear for their lives. He would not have had a scratch if he would have just calmed down. And let me be clear, I'm really sorry the guy died. It was a real tragedy that didn't need to happen.
I feel bad for him but he did fight them the entire time and wouldn't let them hand cuff him. The police don't know if the suspect has taken gun or a knife so they fear for their lives.
We have to hold individual's for there action not all I no it's rough out here but our police officers in the bay are nothing I repeat nothing like other cities now do sum make bad decisions yes but not all there is I mean no reason to see what they did an take it out on our cities hold who do wrong for there action not all I'm for peaceful protest scream shout march but peacefully an citizen and law enforcement be safe as well as property we need to show other states how it's done I love our people and the right ones that protect it not all citizens are bad just like not all officers are bad
THEY SAID BLACK PEOPLE FROM THE BLACK LIVES MATTER MOVEMENT WAS DOING THE DESTRUCTION BUT THIS VIDEO SERVES AS AN EXAMPLE WHO WAS DOING THE DISTRUCTION
Theres video of the cops olding him up, while another punches him in the face 7 times in a row, pausing between punches to wind up the arm with as much power as he can. Then another cops beats him in the back of the head with a metal baton over and over while another officer holds him up with his hands behind his back. That's what killed him.
He already got his justice , I swear what difference is this going to make ? How about making a difference in the community , there’s different forms of evil out there but no protests for every victim , only if they are killed by the police , I swear this countries narrative is bonkers
How about making enough noise to end qualified immunity in all cases not just those when the justice system wants to move swiftly to lock up more black men?
They did not reserve judgment in the field. We will not reserve judgment. That many armed men against one is already unacceptable in any circle of real men. Not these glorified overgrown childhood bullies with shields. One man with no weapon dissarmmed a mass shooter last week that is a hero a real man. Todays police are frightened girly men
As tastelessly sarcastic as you really are, your comment isn't necessarily far-fetched. A lot of Black male police officers are believed to be. Late director, John Singleton even wrote such a one into his classic movie, because of the reality of it.
@cymruambyth and you think that gives the pigs enough reason to kick, punch, beat, pepper spray and taser him bad enough to kill him? He resisted because he knew those scumbags were out of control and he ran for his life.
all these non black people protesting live in safe neighborhoods and drive their cars never take the bus. They protest but they don't live in those dangerous neighborhoods.
if a cop stops you, just stop and show them respect. These are not Soviet cops or Filipino cops with zero respect. The escalation really depends on you.
Normally it's not the police but this time it was! There's no reason to beat someone while they're on the ground or/& cuffed. This was obviously police brutality.
* I will ( NOT ) e going to Memphis..., Memphis has serious problems, including its Police and Fire Departments ! ! * 600 murders ( homicides ) per year..., Memphis has serious crime problems... Memphis is ( NOT ) a safe city for anyone... * RIP..., "Tyre." :(
resists arrest flee from police… cops did use more force than necessary but they were arrested and charged for their actions. so why is there a violent protest?
Stop commenting crimes then no problems he should have just stayed there and no story. How do the cops know what he may have on him or what he may do. Stop being little babies
@Jesse the point is SFPD isn’t at all related or responsible for what happened; it’s a free country but why would protestors act like our cops are as bad as theirs?
How about you watch the video from the over head camera that shows 1 cop holding this guy up with his hands behind his back while another cop beats him in the back of the head with a metal baton, over and over. Then another cop punches him in the face 7 times, winding up each swing, again with another cop holding this guy up with his hands behind his back. This could happen to anyone, he literally tried to give the cop his id, but the cop wouldn't listen. He couldn't get into that pocket while sitting down, an the cop didn't care. When he tried to stand up and grab his id, they went crazy and attacked him. He literally did nothing wrong.
@banana flesh I never said that was ok. You can hold two truths. You can believe that U.S has a serious problem with their policing system and that people should not loot or destroy property. What is absolutely wrong is you being more outraged with the destruction of material things , then the destruction of a human life and the destruction of a social contracts that should exist between law enforcement and the public. Most people are not interested in vengeance or looting, they want the system to do a better job. We are assuming that these cops violated their own policies this one time and also happened to kill a person? Unlikely , which means their behavior was unchecked . Probably not the first time they violated department policies or used excessive force. In some countries police are required to train 3 years , here only 21 weeks. Also many departments will not hire people with above average IQ tests? Are we even trying to get the best people for this? Five cops show up and kill a person. Not one of them attempts to stop the others. Other cops were there too. So we’re the medics. This is not one bad apple.
This was so unnecessary. The cops should have had self restraint instead of rage and retaliation. Those cops murdered that kid. Why would they want to kill him? The whole thing is tragic. I believe those officers should pay for their brutal gang style attack, acting like a pack of wild dogs on a killing spree. This was HUNTING!!! It was not Policing. DISGUSTING.
This young black man was murdered by black cops. Absolute disgrace. We also need to have same protests for all victims of crime in San Francisco and Bay Area
