Nauseating and beyond horrifying.

[PCIntern]

And you know what else besides sadistic, atavistic human-animal hate, murderous viciousness?

Sheer incompetence.

These lame-ass out of shape bastards must have watched the film Mulholland Falls and saw themselves as a version of The Hat Squad.

Speedy trial and fifty-year sentences. No parole before 48 years.

Don’t throw away the key: Mount a facsimile above the door in each cell.

1. Are these cops in custody?

or are they out on bail? Being charged with murder I assume they are in jail?

[Demovictory9]

9. 4 of five bailed out

[Brother Buzz]

2. I'm not the same page

Can you cue me in?

[PCIntern]

3. Watch the video of the murder shot from

A number of vantage points.

It’s not Kurosawa. It’s the same story on each camera.

[txwhitedove]

4. Yes. Utter chaos from the start. Cops yelling over each other

with each one getting in a kick or punch and knocking him around. Why pepper spray and taser right off even when he was on the ground.

[PCIntern]

5. They sprayed their own for Christ's sake

Lame. And disgraceful. And churlish.

[Kennah]

6. Thought I saw it on the street cam video

But in the body cam it was clear.

Held him up so another cop could hit him with a baton.

This is Authoritarian State stuff.

[PCIntern]

7. This is Cinemax after-dark stuff

Idiots. Sadistic idiots.

[walkingman]

8. To me this just highlights a "Police Problem" even beyond the racism issue. All you ever

hear is "Support the Blue" but the problem is they police themselves mostly and it is not working.

No one should be fearful when they look in the rear-view mirror and see a cop. They should be there to help us and not fuck with us constantly. So you have a broken tail light and you could be putting your life in danger when a cop pulls you over?

Fuck'em!

10. I have so many questions

everyone has been complimenting the Memphis Police Chief and, to be fair, she's done a good job in the wake of this barbarous beating. She fired the cops quickly and got the video out in near-record time.

But everything I've heard indicates that this special division of MPD was pretty out of control, something like the Rampart Division of LAPD was back in the day, and I hope we learn more about that and the organizational rot that allowed these cops to believe they could behave like this. Who are their supervisors and what kind of culture are they permitting? And the Chief has to bear some responsibility for that, too, because when we learn about these acts of brutality, it's never the first time the cop or cops did it; just think how much we learned about Chauvin's history after he murdered George Floyd.

I'm so fucking tired of people saying "oh, they need better training." No. They need to eliminate a system that insulates them from consequences for their actions and would rather send them on a paid vacation known as "administrative leave" when people force them to investigate their own even though we know in almost all cases their investigation will result in them finding no wrongdoing.

11. See the film Mulholland Falls

as I mentioned above.

[Kablooie]

12. And they let him lie on the street for half an hour!?

While the cops all stroll around.

If they say he did something illegal, their job was to put him in a cop car and take him to the station.
Not let him lie on the street while they chat and mill about.
Geez.

[vanlassie]

14. They were so out of shape they were trying to catch their breath.

[housecat]

13. They'll never complete their sentences, because inmates will kill them

[Cheezoholic]

15. Hell yes

Clockwork Orange their asses with toothpicks and make them watch that movie for the first 5 years 24/7.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

16. Agree

I was physically sick. It took me some time to physically recover.
I'm a horror fan for Pete's sake! And that made me lose my stomach.

[RussBLib]

17. Violence porn?

This country has OD'd on violence and guns.

[Initech]

19. I blame Fox. They've hijacked this country and are driving it off a cliff.

[Initech]

18. Why are we not rising up against these fuckers?
