    The fact that the cops turned off their body cams, and didn't realize they were recorded on the intersection camera, is all you need to know about their intentions.

    • @jcaashby3

      In this age of cameras you have to assume your ALWAYS being recorded. I am sitting here at my desk and have a camera behind me. I also see people on my home and business external cameras all the time not even knowing they are being recorded.
      Luckily for this family and any future victims these cops were to brazen to realize there was a camera above them. If there was no camera we would most likely not even know about this beating.

It is our fault as consumers for engaging in the idolization of people.

      These cops should go to jail. But the police in Memphis are responsible for one murder.
      There were over 300 in Memphis last year.
      You are 300 percent more likely to be killed by a criminal in Memphis as opposed to as cop.

      You and everyone of us know why. Tyre had no criminal history, he never committed any crime in which he was stopped for, no drugs in car, no gun in the car, he was respectful to the cops even after being beaten. This kid was beyond good, he came from a two parent household, good neighborhood, had a full time job with fed x. So there’s no way for the media to point blame on the victim and defend the police. I will say I was surprised they did show it on fox, and they actually did attack the police and well of course they couldn’t attach Tyre’s character “bet they were mad” but they did say the scorpion unit shouldn’t be gotten rid of, it’s easy for ppl who don’t live in that community to say what one should have. This unit has a assaulted other citizens and I will almost guarantee they weren’t white ppl. Funny that white ppl seem to be the only ones calling on the unit to stay, even though more and more stories come out about them. I’m not a racist I know many white ppl side with blacks on many things were more alike than different, but the media likes to play us against each other. We need each other more than we know. More and more white ppl are being killed by these tyrants each and every day. If cops can’t pass a mental health screening they shouldn’t be hired their background and friends and family should be looked into too, we have klan members joining the force, we have ppl with prior assaults joining the force, vets who struggle with ptsd join the force, we’re not safe.

      Let’s be honest here. It’s not on mainstream media because the officers are black. They can’t pump it up into a racial issue. The ONLY reason it’s getting the coverage it is… is because it’s the police. Black people treat other black people much worse on a daily basis and you and everyone else couldn’t care less. But get a chance at the police and you’re interested for a minute. Get a shot at WHITE police and you’re all in for months of looting, burning, and rioting. Mostly peaceful though.

    2nd degree murder? What did they do cough on him and give him a cold? I think that's first degree if i ever saw it.

      It's first degree if it's planned. But if they were just looking for a victim that night, then it kind of is first degree. He was apparently returning home because he liked taking photos of sunsets. So terribly sad.

      @@meisievannancy I think they should change the laws and utilize the brutality of how someone was killed to include in the charge because this goes beyond anything I've ever seen. They stood him up and beat him. This is truly horrific. It's so violent in the manner they died. I can't believe they enjoyed this too.
