How do you think people are gonna try defend the cops who killed Tyre Nichols?

[Kaneki05]

This was a very clear cut case of cops brutally murdering a black man for no reason.

[Pyrofox]

They already got dishonorably discharged and their entire unit dissolved. All while further perpetrating why cops pick on the African and or black community.😞 This whole thing is one colossal f**k up for the PD.

By other black men, who were all cops. So can't really pull the race card on this one. Nobody is gonna defend them because yes, that's a clear case of the cops murdering someone for no reason. There's no reason it takes 5 men to beat a man unless they're TRYING to murder/intention to seriously harm him.

[smahala1991]

I mean the evidence is there plain as day. I don't think anyone can defend them

[Anonymous]

The police are obviously guilty here. But so is Nichols. Had he not resisted arrest, like in almost every other case of a black man being killed by police, he would still be alive today.

[Kaneki05]

Resisted? You need to rewatch the events. He didn't resist and was clearly on the ground.

[Opinion Owner]

I've watched the video. Not only did he resist, he ran off.

[Kaneki05]

No he didn't they pulled him out his car onto the ground then beat him and sprayed him.

[Opinion Owner]

You obviously haven't seen all the video.

[Kaneki05]

Or more like you didn't watch it. When they pulled him out the car he was on the ground been held down you can't just run away from the position. Did I miss him all the sudden become special agent who managed to fight them off before he ran down the block? Don't think so.

[Opinion Owner]

Watch this video and tell me what you see beginning at about 2:00.

[Kaneki05]

Ah must've been a cut video I saw. Still not sure how he got up there though, pretty dumb cops if they can't even keep him from running, so dumb and also brutal how did these cops even get hired.

[Opinion Owner]

I agree with you.

[OddBeMe]

I read how this case is making it more clear how pervasive the police culture is toward black suspects. Not black cops. Even minorities discriminate their own community when in that police culture.

[Anonymous]

Blame it on the system. Don't expect cop-haters who usually go "white person bad" to do the same here. They will either ignore it, downplay it as much as they can or blame it on the system and white people somehow.

[Anonymous]

Man, I have no idea. Those cops need to be locked up for a very long time.

[KostasKouvalis]

The only reasonable defense you can use is the Tyrone Biggins defense

[Dargil]

What color were the cops, again?

[Kaneki05]

How's that relevant? Does color dictate that this was okay? If so you are fucked.

[Dargil]

That's all out culture cares about now. People WILL defend them even though the shouldn't.

[gorydetails]

Were they racist? Lol.

[Kaneki05]

How's that relevant. If they weren't they still brutally killed a man, if they were they still brutally killed a man. It does not matter if racism was part of it or not. Also imagine saying Lol on a topic about a man been brutally murdered by cops.

[gorydetails]

We had riots over an entire summer because of “racist” cops

[Kaneki05]

Again how is this relevant? Did somehow those riots make this murder okay? Your point is not making any sense.

[gorydetails]

No, it’s not ok, but the selective outrage is hilarious.

[Kaneki05]

Selective outrage? I don't know what your on about. Pretty sure many people are outraged right now smh.

[Anonymous]

Another thug off the street.

[Guy13]

Yes I do.
