5 Black police officers charged over death of Tyre Nichols

..

He did comply, they pulled him from his car, put him on the ground, pepper sprayed him and then tasered him.

But if we are to listen to you, we complain the next day,,, But your in a coma and then die 3 days later,, And you still have the cops back ???

Jesus, the riots over this will be insane I imagine.

Seriously hope the sentences passed down are serious life sentences ie. No parole…

the guy was not even close to being a threat to them or members of the public,

Scumbags, neanderthal savages. Seriously morbid stuff..

White cops killed George Floyd… riots

black cops killed Tyre Nichols…an assault 100000 more vicious and cruel, determined and targeted, rabid….. will there be riots ? we shall see… there are limited protests and there is limited civil disobedience, blocking of a bridge but no riots or violence so far I’m seeing reported..

in a ways you don’t want to see violence as an answer to violence but it is strange that a community can get so up in arms by one killing and one 10 times as brutal go without similar….IF it goes without similar…

I must be completely missing something but I am totally confused by the race angle on this. The police angle and brutality is 110% legitimate but this is 5 black cops killing a black man so I don't get why there would be trouble over race specifically. Wouldn't make much sense to me.

I saw a BBC clip this morning, but very little on it to make any call. Has anyone seen a video that shows the reality of this arrest/asssult?

just on a separate note: why do people in America, knowing the cops can be tough and firm, almost “aggravate” the cops and create a situation where the cops are then highly strung? They either start questioning the cops or disagreeing or try to be awkward?

Just me, and I don’t live in America, but if cop there pulled me over. I’d shut my mouth and allow them to lead, do their job and hopefully all sorted. The cops have fooking guns, and the slightest volatility can lead to you being shot, or very roughly restrained/treated. Is it worth it trying to challenge/query it?

I thought the protests are always about black lives mattering and protesting against police violence.

A black man has been murdered by police officers for no reason.

Why would you not expect trouble over this.

Surely black lives matter and not only when a white police offer is the murderer.

I can't even bring myself to watch the video, let's hope they are locked up and the key is thrown away.

Nothing whatsoever to do with “whyte” oppression. It’s this dangerous narrative pushing that is the real problem.

Sure, you are white though, so the chances of the police executing you are slim.

It's one of the most worrying parts of the video, he did comply and not only that he was the only one trying to bring calm to the situation. It was clear from the first second that this wasn't an arrest it was a punishment beating.

Fleeing was the 100% correct to thing to do, it's an absolute shame they caught him, apparently he wasn't far from his mothers house.

There is no ambiguity, he was beaten to death, executed.

He was kicked so viciously in the head whilst restrained that the scum bag limped afterwards.

The attempts to import other countries issues with race in the aftermath of George Nkencho's death were disgusting.

The notion that George Nkencho was the first of many black people to be killed by the Gardai was nonsense then and remains so now. Several politicians made crude statements about racial profiling by the Gardai that have no basis in reality.

You should be ashamed of yourself for attempting to use that situation as a make weight in this discussion.

Why can’t this incident be treated as this incident: 5 cops, who very very unlikely “together” conspired to go out and do harm, or worse to another human being. A situation occurred, and escalated to a man being badly beaten, and who later died in hospital. Nothing at all to do with some inbred racial nastiness or racist institutionalism

Was that the Irish lad from Meath who attacked a shop keeper with a knife and then lunged at armed Gardai?

I didn’t watch the video, I don’t really want to being honest but I did see his parents give an interview last night and his mother was just broken, and my heart went out to her. She recalled how broken up his body was, his head so swollen, what a horrific death he suffered. Regardless of his colour, his creed, regardless that they were cops or their colour, they beat him to death. They deserve everything they get, same as the killers of George Floyd. Humanity knows no colour, justice must be Served.
