      https://www.mediaite.com/news/breaking-memphis-pd-release-shocking-bodycam-footage-of-five-cops-beating-tyre-nichols/

      The 4 videos. Very long. To save you time:

      Video 1: Shows the traffic stop where the suspect semi-resisted and when pepper sprayed and tased, flees on foot. Cops get mad they were caught in the pepper spray.

      Video 2: The 2:00 to 4:00 mark shows the bad stuff. Kicked in head, baton beaten…ok those two things maybe to get him to put hands behind back. But then hand held back by a cop while other cops take turns punch him? Not good.

      Video 3: The baton cop. You can see him get mad he gets pepper sprayed then goes in for some baton hits after losing his cool.

      Video 4: Half audio, not much added.

      It’s weird, the cops acted so ghetto and immature once they got caught with pepper spray. Sure the guy resisted arrest but it quickly spiraled into nearly a gang beating after the cops get pissed off.

          They were raised in a culture of violence, incubated by systemic oppression. The CRT take writes itself.

              Someone is claiming that Nichols was grabbing for one of the cop's gun. That will likely be their defenses strategy.

                Haven’t watched the video, but you aren’t restraining someone by beating the crap out of them.

                  Because basketball players have a special insight into this beating.

                  Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins watched a televised interview Friday of Tyre Nichols' mother speaking about the loss of her son and he lost control of his emotions.

                  "I cried," Jenkins said.

                  The outrage, frustration, sadness and anger was evident around the basketball world Friday, the day a video was released showing how Nichols, a 29-year-old father, was killed by five Memphis police officers. The NBA, WNBA and several teams released statements of support for the family, as did the players' unions.

                            I disagree. The genesis of this originated in the culture these guys grew up in - all of them.

                                      This was like a movie's opening weekend after a full marketing press by a major studio. One still never knows what the box office will be. I get the sense that the audience response has been lukewarm to positive. It'll comfortably make its money back.

                                        On the actual subject of a young man actually dying after being actually beat up, I an not clear on the mechanism of beating to death. Three days elapsed in the hospital where he died, but they are remaining silent on the cause of death. I wonder if the connection between the beating and the death is not entirely obvious. I am sure if you polled the cops and EMT at the time, they would all have been under the impression that he'd be fine, if bruised and sore. It does go to show, every time you hit someone in anger and not in clear cut self defense, you better hope you do no real damage. Criminal and civil liability doesn't depend so much on your act, but the damage your act does. You best hope you hit a strong and healthy person, capable of absorbing your punishment.

                                          On the actual subject of a young man actually dying after being actually beat up, I an not clear on the mechanism of beating to death. Three days elapsed in the hospital where he died, but they are remaining silent on the cause of death. I wonder if the connection between the beating and the death is not entirely obvious. I am sure if you polled the cops and EMT at the time, they would all have been under the impression that he'd be fine, if bruised and sore. It does go to show, every time you hit someone in anger and not in clear cut self defense, you better hope you do no real damage. Criminal and civil liability doesn't depend so much on your act, but the damage your act does. You best hope you hit a strong and healthy person, capable of absorbing your punishment.

                                          @Horace if I had to guess, I’d speculate about uncontrollable brain swelling.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
