So, what's the REAL story?

[Vegita-San]

The Tyre Nichols attack... first time I've heard of this one.
but, since the usual twitter supsects are going on about their usual ways and bringing up george floyd again, one has too ask...'what's the real story?'

[IMJ]

There they go again, stoking the flames of societal breakdown over another dead junkie...

A black American Fedex worker who was pulled over in Memphis and beaten by five police officers. He died in the hospital three days later.

Notable in this situation is all five of the officers in question were black themselves and have been fired and charged with a number of crimes including assault and third degree murder.

Saint Floyd the II of the BLMites, aka some idiot drug user/pusher who really should've listened when the police told him to stop running and is now poised to become the sponsor for the 2023 Mostly Peaceful Protests.

Holy crap. Did they give a reason why the stopped him and what led to such an altercation? Is the story getting brushed under the rug because it wasn't 'the evil white man' that did it but four fellow black people taking down one of their own?

****ing pigs.

I don't know the further details as to the stop itself or what this guy was doing in the car. But I am going to say this - the cops - of any color - do not simply drag people out of a car if they do nothing.

You don't do anything but what the cops say.
You don't run away from the cops.
You don't jive turkey or hood rat at the cops.

If you don't do those things, then it's likely they won't even remotely get physical with you. What happens in these circumstances is that the cops are out there always fearing for their lives. And when someone gets stopped and they compound the problem -

1. People get mouthy with, or hoodrat at, or victim-play at the cops. They get pulled out of the car.
2. Then they bug up when getting pulled out even though they caused it, so they fight the cops. Control the situation as is procedure. They get put on the ground and sprayed.
3. Then they bug up at their "victimization" even though they caused it, so they run from the cops. "Stop or we'll shoot" as is procedure. They get put in the ground.

Don't you people understand this?

Leftists aren't known for their intellect or respect for the authorities. More like sneering contempt, really. Their underdeveloped hive minds can't figure out why we absolutely need well-funded police, nor why said police more often than not makes the right call in how they approach a suspect.

There's no time to bring up someone's life history and interview their loved ones when it comes down to a decision between a fleeing suspect's life (and this guy ran twice in quick succession) and the lives of the officers and any nearby innocents. The police orders you to stop and you don’t comply, you run away or you fight back, you're making a choice right there. Whatever happens next is on you, and you alone.

Doesn't that only work for white people though?

That's what a certain cross section of society would have you believe as they deflect their own behaviors.

I watched the shoulder cam video of the stop. The guy is resisting and arguing every step of the way. He's looking back at the police, as if he's in charge, telling them he is complying the whole time without actually complying.

And so let me tell the "Galactuses" of the Technodrome another thing that you probably haven't ever considered in your liberal, critical, holier-than-thou lives - when someone tries to kill you, it isn't like a TMNT flick with a bad guy face-off. Most of the time the bad guy walks up and knifes you with a concerned look on his face while asking you if you are okay. And while he asks that as if he wants to help you, he continues to put the knife in and out over and over.

So when a kid is stopped by police, looking back at them to tell them you are complying isn't complying. Getting up and running away isn't complying. Shutting the f up and letting the authorities in charge run the show IS complying.

Now there is clearly more to this story about the cops hitting the guy over the shoulders with their batons, and kicking the guy and so on. THAT is a problem. But see - by the time that happened the kid had already broken about a dozen other laws by the point he ran away. But for you liberal brain trust out there, had this guy not been in "punk manipulation mode"- e.g saying he was complying when he wasn't, escaping a stop, etc, then he'd probably be alive and the whole thing wouldn't have escalated.

Now as to the post-escape interaction? That is 100% on those fools in uniform. Once the guy is in cuffs, and controlled, it's over. So if the kid was alive when they caught him and cuffed, he should be alive right now. It's definitely a 360 degree issue, so those cops will definitely have something to answer for. If you get your guy subdued, it's over - the police shouldn't turn themselves into a mob action.

Black cops beating up a black man is somehow white peoples fault because "internalized racism" or something yadda yadda yadda...

The guy speaking out on behalf of the family, and the family, didn’t bring up race. They were pretty much saying black or white, police brutality and using excessive force is a problem.

White people inducted those black men into the police force as race traitors, dontcha know? So obvious! /s

So's running from the police TWICE after they repeatedly and explicitly order you to stop.

I don’t know the details, but five cops beating up on one person seems excessive to me regardless of what the person did.

Agree to disagree.

All I know is that it was a routine traffic stop. If the person was defiant, which is wrong, how is that grounds for being pummeled? The guy wasn’t even all that big. Did he attack or pull a weapon out on the cops in question? Either way, this does seem like excessive force to me.

It was, before he ran. Twice. You'd be surprised at what comes up during routine traffic stops, up to and including serial killers. Like I said, agree to disagree.
