    And note they don’t have the reason for pulling him over on video. Can we trust the narrative from these officers? He was in the turning lane as the videos start

    Ashli Babbitt got what she deserved, and many others were lucky they didn't meet the same.

    Feel free to think storming the capital is a right, I have 100% confidence it will turn ugly for those who do, let aloy try that stunt again. :)

    The videos have now been released. I have seen two different body cams, at the initial, and final stages of the incident, as well as a fixed camera surviellance camera video, from the middle. It is clear the Nichols WAS initially doing his best to comply with police instructions, and NOT fighting back, as officers continued to rough him up, and threaten him. It is also clear that it was this, inexcusable treatment, which led to Nichols' running-- not to escape the law, but out of completely justifiable, fear for his personal safety. Though not resisting arrest, Tyre was being treated as if he were.

    In the second and third clips, the officers actually lift him off the ground and hold him up, so that other officers can attack him with punches, and a baton. While he was down, with his 140 lb frame, clearly under control by two officers, another was delivering unnecessary kicks to him. No one who supports the rule of law, can offer justifications, for what we can now see. IOW, to defend this, would be highly corrosive of anyone's reputation, as being an advocate of lawful police practices.

    The videos all seem a bit problematic, for playback, but here is a link to some of the material:

    Damn! Really? She deserved to be summarily executed without due process?

    Damn, but you people are dangerous. Still wondering why we won't give up our weapons, with people like you in this country?

    Yea really.
    She was not executed. Her violent attack was stopped. She got what she deserved.

    Tyre was handcuffed and then beaten

    the video is the most disgusting thing I have seen in my entire life.

    it makes the Rodney King video look like a Sunday school class

    It was. But I can see why you'd defend her and what she did.

    The crux of the matter is the victim was scared and the cops were scared. Why is this?

    First, we need to find out what the cause of the stop was.

    I don't have that information nor do you.
    How's that for honesty?

    We need to find out the probable cause first which is the basis for pulling someone over.

    NIchols would be alive if he heeded the cops. Why was Nichols so afraid of the cops before anything happened?

    Not really a sidenote: Why are protestors so quick to see this as a hate crime against blacks?

    Nonsense. We can all see the video. Her head hit the ground no more than a couple feet from the cop up front. He was kneeled down next to her within seconds of hitting the ground.

    Hes had years of propaganda designed to convince him that the cops are out to kill him because he is black.

    You're a revisionist. A cop murdered an unarmed woman.

    Exactly. Eliminate the bad propaganda advice. Eliminate the Nichols death.

    He didn't know she was unarmed.

    Babbit was also an adulterer, broke a commandment so perhaps this was God's way of punishing her.
