TN: Tyre Nichols was 'defenseless' during his 'savage' beating by police, attorneys say

Thanks for the link, you should have kept reading, though it would have interfered with your agenda.

"Memphis Police Department officers used a stun gun, a baton and their fists as they pummeled Nichols during the nighttime arrest. Footage shows Nichols running away from officers toward his house after he was pulled over on suspicion of reckless driving. Nichols, a 29-year-old father, was heard calling for his mother and seen struggling with his injuries as he sat helpless on the pavement, video footage released Friday showed.

The five officers chatted and milled about for several minutes as Nichols remained in the ground, but there were other authorities on the scene. Two Shelby County sheriff's deputies have been relieved of duty without pay while their conduct is investigated. Two Memphis Fire Department workers were also removed from duty over Nichols' arrest.

 

The official autopsy isn't out. You don't know how he died.

 

Do you drool as you write this **** that you think is so funny?

 

We didn't even make it all of the way through January before what will probably be one of the biggest "oops" moments of the year. Good catch.

 

Yeah? So?

 

I think it's funny watching you people lose your **** and make dishonest claims...lol

 

Right up there with George Floyd being tortured to death by Chauvin and his 3 thugs.

 

Tortured to death?... LMAO

 

Some of the folks even defended the murder of Arbery, and that could not have been more explicitly unjustified. They were literally okay with him being murdered for defending himself against violent criminals.

 

what difference does it make what words are used to describe the death of Tyre Nichols??

Dead is Dead

he died as a result of being beaten while handcuffed by 5 policeman 3 days earlier

 

Must have tons to do with these victims being black men,eh?
I was going to mention Ahmaud Arbery and didn't because cops weren't the cause of his lynching death.

 

Because "beaten to death" is a falsehood.

 

The only reason you give a **** is because they're black.

 

Funny, I also defended a white guy against an unjustified murder by police . . . and the only people around here who defended the murder were right wingers.

 

I wasn't going to post this rumour but now I'm going to reading about that cop's first encounter.

"A rumored relationship between Tyre Nichols and the wife or girlfriend of one of the five Memphis police officers accused of his murder is not true, according to his stepfather."

 

I've already told you....COVID got him, of course.

 

Was the cop white and they had to choose between 2 white men?

 

I think both of the responding cops were white, as was the victim. But there was only the one guy on the other side, so they weren't choosing between 2 white men. I'll try to find the thread. TL;DR - two cops responded to a noise complaint that they thought might be domestic violence. A white guy answered the door with a gun at his side and immediately complied with the commands of the officers, but one of them shot him in the back while he was dropping his weapon and complying with every command he was given. And the right wing here on the forum tried defending the shot.

 

They don't need an MRI for what I suggested.

 

spin it anyway you please

dead is dead...and the cops caused the death by beating him while handcuffed

 

How many of these officers will you be defending in court?

 

Yeah, the one where the cops killed “Cotton” Hill.

 

Maybe they caused it. Wouldn't you rather wait for the ME's report?

 

Sure. Maybe a meteor hit him.

 

Is the justice system simply irredeemable:
