No one believed what they were saying went on/ happened, previous to cell phones, body cams, and video surveillance cameras all over the place. Even in cases of video evidence, many white cops have gotten away with brutality and outright murder. In my city many many people of color were just grabbed of the street, and tortured into confessions. Doing decades of time, not guilty of the crime charges. Racism IS a systemic problem across the country in the U.S.
Ugh. No kidding. When there were 8 cops pounding Rodney King, there's no way they thought they'd be caught on film. That they were all acquitted is criminal.
@That Man yep no doubt. The municipal court business should be brought down. I was shocked at how lavish the traffic court room was until I got my fine
Its great but everyone must realize and understand that there will be a dollar cap 🧢 on it. My state limited the dollar 💵 💴💴💴amount to 25k, that isn’t enough to cover any injuries or constitutional violations against law abiding citizens.
Wtf u mean? They're being charged with 2nd degree MURDER. If your state doesn't have the death penalty then you should fight for that. They're gonna get theirs for sure. #1 their all cops going to prison so not even their own race will take them.

This poor young man’s family. This makes me terribly sad. I see Tyre was a skateboarder 🛹❤️ my hometown is Rockford Illinois, many of you from Memphis heard of us for being on certain unfavorable lists along with Memphis. Skateboarding saved my life and kept me out of gangs and trouble in general. Usually skateboarders are stand up good people. I’m gonna go ahead and bet Tyre was a good kid. Hopefully this is an eye opener to the general public that this could happen to your kid regardless of ethnicity.
Nothing opens eyes anymore. My experience with skateboarders at early ages - that's been true. From what the family says, that was true of their son. Running from the police is kinda built in to the fight or flight fear, thought process. Guys in our neighborhood would run to get away from a curfew violation. If you were white, they usually just caught and arrested you. If you didn't run, usually get a warning. But this cat Gustavo, if he didn't run, he's getting arrested, and maybe worse. When he did run, he got treated pretty bad. In my old neighborhood, say - 2010, 2015, I could walk down the street alone, and rarely given a look. If my black friend walked down the same street, he's looked at, and most often stopped, and frisked. Together walking down the street, we're looked at, but that's it. A city of 3 million people. Back in the 60's , the neighborhood was predominantly Irish Catholic. By the 70's, a few Latinos. In 2022,23, mix of every nationality. Still, certain people stopped, same others, likely not. Less you're walking with an open beer.

I agree, but it's also a completely predictable outcome when someone who gets pulled over starts arguing with the police, then fleeing from the police and then fighting with the police. So it goes both ways. If the police stop you, do as they tell you and you won't go home in a body bag.
@@MrPhilipIrving1 Agreed. A cop should not take a life unless they have to. But sometimes a cop will defend himself and end up killing a suspect. That happens. It’s not great, but then the suspect should never have done what they did in the first place.
@Fransico Buttersworth I do a lot of travel outside the US and I have interviewed quite a few police officers abroad. In most wealthy nations with functioning democracies, the average training requirements for police officers is a four year degree in law enforcement and six months to a year of police academy. Some countries like South Korea require officers to pass an abbreviated bar exam. Tennessee, in sharp contrast requires a high school diploma and 12 weeks of classroom instruction in the police academy. No further training is required. For some context, it takes well over three times that amount of paid instruction to legally cut hair for money in the state of Tennessee. American policing is fundamentally broken.

I'm glad the murder charges are in the 2nd degree. Easier to convict. I wish they'd extend this swiftness of justice to every other officer that kills unarmed citizens. Wonder what the difference is in this case?
They’ve done studies on gangs and mobs and group think, then somehow created the institution of policing and forgot that they are also flawed people with real weaknesses. Until we treat police as people, this sorta thing continues
It's the ego power trip for some of them. When good police officers take a stand against bad police officers the saftey of police officers and citizens alike, will improve.
They may not have intended for him to die but their actions directly caused the death of him . Say whatever you want , we seen it with our own eyes and heard it with our own ears . Any story the defense construes will be a waste of time ! We heard 2 of the cops flat out lying (he came out swinging and reached for his gun) . Typical brutality line of defense
Black on black crime. See I know the people can see no matter what color the cops are they do this a much much more wrong doings to the people. Don’t let this happen to u or your family. We the people need real change.All in my opinion.🇺🇸🙏🏿
Yeah.. they most definitely going to get what they deserve.. they not going to get suspended with pay. Or be able to hide behind the system. They are going to be put up front and beaten with life like they did this poor man. R.I.P Tyre Nichols... No one deserves this.
I have watched this video and no matter what your political views are, what happened is worse than I ever imagined it could be. My heart breaks for his family especially his lovely mother. God bless her for having the strength of character to ask people to protest peacefully. Burning, looting and rioting will not bring her precious son back. I am reminded of the words of the late Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?" The kind of violence this terrible act would bring doesn't help anyone. What will illicit real change is fixing the problems with our police departments and that begins with better methods of vetting people who wish to join the police force to begin with. Being an officer requires patience, self-discipline and respect for people. In the past two decades that has become increasingly difficult. The officers that responded here forgot what "To Serve and Protect" means. My prayers are with his family and friends. May they find peace and comfort in knowing how many people stand with them.
@@Tortilla.Reform it's how it works NOW. Police departments and the unions are rolling on these kinda cops more than ever now. Change takes time and the ground gained in prosecuting police has been HUGE. Still a ways to go forward because they are a powerful institution. All cops can be loose cannons. If people want to audit them and try their luck with them, know when you look for smoke they might give you fire. If you die, your family gets paid. But you're still dead. If they shoot you in the pelvis, you'll most likely never walk again. You'll get paid but was looking for the audit smoke worth it? You can't walk no more. Graveyards are full of innocents and people who were in the right. Basically what good does it do if you become martyr and die?
They have offices all across the country. Do you need telephone numbers ? Some members are with the family. Others will be at the funeral. What specific information do you seek ?
Got it on video needs no long dragged out court room drama let the body cam speak for itself then all are guilty by Association.our condolences 🙏 to the family and friends ❤️ my the Lord bring you His peace and comfort you throughout your lives. May justice prevail. ⚖️
We need to see ALL of the body cam videos and all of the street camera video. Not just snippets that Tyre's lawyers will want to show us. Everything that led up to the attack needs to be shown to the public and then the totality of evidence needs to be taken into consideration during the trials. Too many times we are shown only pieces of the videos in other cases, and the public goes crazy and wants to send the cop to jail. But in MOST of those cases, there is real, raw video footage that was never shown to the public until it was too late. And that raw footage shines a new light on what happened. For example, there was a case recently where a cop shot and killed a guy and we only saw the shooting, but when the raw footage was release, we saw that the suspect shot at the cop first, so the cop was defending himself and he was exhonerated. But the media had already planted the seed of hatred against the cop by showing only the short video snippet of the cop shooting the guy. So, let's see all of the evidence before we pass judgment on those cops.
@@bobl703 not sure what it is you think you’re not seeing? I don’t care if they were trying to arrest a serial killer that bit the heads off live kittens. NOTHING justifies this level of force. You do realize the ONLY reason why this got national attention is because Tyree died. The only reason the officers were charged so quickly is because of the light post video. They could block and manipulate their bodycam videos. They didn’t have access to the light pole video. They had no control over its release. This was a traffic stop for an alleged reckless driving charge. Reckless driving is a citation and a fine. It’s not an arrestable offense. It is what it is my friend.
@@karinaz8756 I agree that the cops went way too far, and they should all go to jail. But what I was trying to say is that so many people pass judgment before seeing all the evidence. So I wanted to see if there was any video that showed him pointing a gun at the police officers, or fighting them, or anything that would’ve justified what happened. But, alas, I did not see anything that justified what they did to him.
You’re part of the problem. What would the NAACP be demanding here? They’d be demanding exactly what is happening to the officers. So why get involved when it’s playing out as it should?
Black or white doesn't matter your action lead to your own death one way or another. Its up to your parents to teach you dieing is easier than you think.

As a black man, this comment infuriates me. For one, because it’s true and two, someone’s death is producing these type of comments. Everyone’s life is precious and I wish everyone would agree, including black people. ESPECIALLY black people. At the same time, if you know about redlining and have read some of the recent declassified documents about the FBI and Hoover, you know this was the outcome the government was striving for.
Are you saying that black people are violent to one another and therefore we should “overlook” this as typical “black people” behavior? Because I don’t know how to interpret what you said any other way.
I, for one, believe these officers should be sent to NYC, Boston, Baltimore, Philthadelphia, DC or Chiraq. That is until the Non judicial system is ready for them.
Yeah it’s still racism. Studies consistently demonstrate that minority members of police forces tend to develop stronger in-group identities with police than with their racial group.
@@BH-xp8ic read up on group identity. We all have several in-groups that we belong to and our strongest in-groups don’t always fall along racial lines. This is common knowledge and can be found in any introduction to sociology course. But yeah, the point here is that being black doesn’t mean it is impossible to engage in anti-black racism. This can happen when a black person develops a stronger in-group identity with another group, such as the police force, and then carries out an act of racism as a member of that group. I say this to fight back against that very annoying refrain from conservatives every time the officer in one of these situations is black. It’s just so annoying to me how conservatives ask what they perceive to be unanswerable questions to illustrate their point when the reality is that the questions have been answered and do not further the right-wing narrative. It’s like when a creationist asks “if we came from monkeys why are they still monkeys” thinking they’ve stumped all of science.

I know 2 first responders have been suspended and they should also be charged. The video is horrific, sickening and should NEVER of happened
Not okay because when it’s a white person it’s not the same justice, but God will avenge who has blood on there hands when justice was not fairly given when in obvious fault by plenty of white police officers
If it was a simple traffic stop there wouldn't have been five officers at the scene . Obviously things became escalated due to the behavior of the suspect .

I'm glad the murder charges are in the 2nd degree. Easier to convict. I wish they'd extend this swiftness of justice to every other officer that kills unarmed citizens. Wonder what the difference is in this case?
Exactly
These officers are somehow.. for some odd reason.. allegeable for sacrifice
The cops are all black so the system will move quickly to convict them.
Police serve and protect Police.
It’s a systemic issue and racism IS involved. That’s why 5 black police officers get immediately fired and charged. What else could be the reason?
End qualified immunity. Always video the police. It's your video that might save you from their lies.
So this is black on black crime again?
@adog3336 who are police officers. Hence the blue.
Its actually a police vs. citizen thing. Not so much racial, except to JOYCE. JOYCE sees race in her coffee grounds.
Joyce just LOVES her some Alex Jones. What a filthy disgusting diseased woman.
@ZenMaster2011 You don't stop being blck just because of your job. You sound just like Biden saying you're not blck if you didn't vote for him.
Most crimes are committed by someone of the same race. White on white crime. You're welcome.
So we can say it's a cop problem now, right?
They need to get the cop who first tased him during the traffic stop and also said I hope they stomp him
Don’t matter who you are or where you came from, seems like if you put on that police uniform it brings out all the evil in a person.
They’ve done studies on gangs and mobs and group think, then somehow created the institution of policing and forgot that they are also flawed people with real weaknesses. Until we treat police as people, this sorta thing continues
It's the ego power trip for some of them. When good police officers take a stand against bad police officers the saftey of police officers and citizens alike, will improve.
Let’s see if the videos are released in full, or are edited by the precinct.
And you're already making a suggestion something is off. Hope they never see the light of day.
They may not have intended for him to die but their actions directly caused the death of him .
Say whatever you want , we seen it with our own eyes and heard it with our own ears . Any story the defense construes will be a waste of time ! We heard 2 of the cops flat out lying (he came out swinging and reached for his gun) . Typical brutality line of defense
Ritual Sacrifice. Don’t let them make you emotional. That’s what they want
Black on black crime. See I know the people can see no matter what color the cops are they do this a much much more wrong doings to the people. Don’t let this happen to u or your family. We the people need real change.All in my opinion.🇺🇸🙏🏿
Yeah it wasn't 3 minutes from what I understand they turned the body cams off!!
Youre a white woman so you dont really understand much
No one intended for Tyre Nichols to die & yet there was 5 officers from a scorpion unit on an unarmed man for a normal traffic stop.
It's out ! It's worse than I thought, even though they said it would be bad !
Yeah.. they most definitely going to get what they deserve.. they not going to get suspended with pay. Or be able to hide behind the system. They are going to be put up front and beaten with life like they did this poor man. R.I.P Tyre Nichols... No one deserves this.
*End Qualified Immunity*
How dare these attorneys. It took 5 of them to do what one should have done!!
Lol
So only one should have beaten him to death?
White cops do this all the time and get away with it 🙄🙄🙄
I have watched this video and no matter what your political views are, what happened is worse than I ever imagined it could be. My heart breaks for his family especially his lovely mother. God bless her for having the strength of character to ask people to protest peacefully. Burning, looting and rioting will not bring her precious son back. I am reminded of the words of the late Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?" The kind of violence this terrible act would bring doesn't help anyone. What will illicit real change is fixing the problems with our police departments and that begins with better methods of vetting people who wish to join the police force to begin with. Being an officer requires patience, self-discipline and respect for people. In the past two decades that has become increasingly difficult. The officers that responded here forgot what "To Serve and Protect" means. My prayers are with his family and friends. May they find peace and comfort in knowing how many people stand with them.
I wonder if qualified immunity will play into this.
No
Absolutely not. They are no longer officers.
@@Seasniffer69 Not how it works, they were officers during the beating
If his rights were violated, no qualified immunity.
@@Tortilla.Reform it's how it works NOW. Police departments and the unions are rolling on these kinda cops more than ever now. Change takes time and the ground gained in prosecuting police has been HUGE. Still a ways to go forward because they are a powerful institution.
All cops can be loose cannons. If people want to audit them and try their luck with them, know when you look for smoke they might give you fire. If you die, your family gets paid. But you're still dead.
If they shoot you in the pelvis, you'll most likely never walk again. You'll get paid but was looking for the audit smoke worth it?
You can't walk no more.
Graveyards are full of innocents and people who were in the right. Basically what good does it do if you become martyr and die?
It’s Memphis 🤷🏾♂️
Imagine if the police officers were white 😮
But they are not
Don't need to imagine facts that are not there. Of facts that are not facts.
@@brianwade879 me no imagine because imagine is not facts, you can’t imagine a fact 🥴
Caution the public to RESERVE judgment??? If your clients did that, they wouldn’t have murdered that young man.
Caution, the public to reserve judgment… Yeah, these guys are guilty. Don’t think they’re not.
Whens the plan to release the video
6pm, tonight.
Black on black violence goes unnoticed. Ask Chris rock.
I was just going to say that!
Everyone has an opinion, doesn’t make it a fact
@@6Sierra9 really? It sounds extremely stupid.
This is police brutality.
Wheres the video? The headline says "video"!
It's going to released tonight at 6pm, January 27th, 2023.
I would not want this video released if that were my son!! How dare them!!
The public deserves to know, not up to them
It doesn’t really matter what you want. The video is evidence
Why? It’s gonna be the key piece of getting him justice
Im willing to bet they approved its release. and if not its likely to come out as evidence in a trial anyways.
They have to release it.
Turns out NWA were right.....😒
Where is the NAACP?
Working with the family.
They have offices all across the country. Do you need telephone numbers ? Some members are with the family. Others will be at the funeral. What specific information do you seek ?
Supporting the Nichols' family. Thanks for your inquiry
like McConaughey said... now imagine... if he was white.
Got it on video needs no long dragged out court room drama let the body cam speak for itself then all are guilty by Association.our condolences 🙏 to the family and friends ❤️ my the Lord bring you His peace and comfort you throughout your lives. May justice prevail. ⚖️
We need to see ALL of the body cam videos and all of the street camera video. Not just snippets that Tyre's lawyers will want to show us. Everything that led up to the attack needs to be shown to the public and then the totality of evidence needs to be taken into consideration during the trials. Too many times we are shown only pieces of the videos in other cases, and the public goes crazy and wants to send the cop to jail. But in MOST of those cases, there is real, raw video footage that was never shown to the public until it was too late. And that raw footage shines a new light on what happened. For example, there was a case recently where a cop shot and killed a guy and we only saw the shooting, but when the raw footage was release, we saw that the suspect shot at the cop first, so the cop was defending himself and he was exhonerated. But the media had already planted the seed of hatred against the cop by showing only the short video snippet of the cop shooting the guy. So, let's see all of the evidence before we pass judgment on those cops.
@@bobl703 not sure what it is you think you’re not seeing? I don’t care if they were trying to arrest a serial killer that bit the heads off live kittens. NOTHING justifies this level of force. You do realize the ONLY reason why this got national attention is because Tyree died. The only reason the officers were charged so quickly is because of the light post video. They could block and manipulate their bodycam videos. They didn’t have access to the light pole video. They had no control over its release. This was a traffic stop for an alleged reckless driving charge. Reckless driving is a citation and a fine. It’s not an arrestable offense. It is what it is my friend.
@@karinaz8756 I agree that the cops went way too far, and they should all go to jail. But what I was trying to say
is that so many people pass judgment before seeing all the evidence. So I wanted to see if there was any video that showed him pointing a gun at the police officers, or fighting them, or anything that would’ve justified what happened. But, alas, I did not see anything that justified what they did to him.
How is another round of peaceful protest gonna make a difference?
I wonder where blm is?
Ask Yomama
F.U.B.L.M !
The officers have been charged. That’s why the whole goal was: accountability. So are you only saying that because you’re racist?
Oh no, the video of their crime is being used as evidence........
I wonder where the NAACP is on this one???
You’re part of the problem. What would the NAACP be demanding here? They’d be demanding exactly what is happening to the officers. So why get involved when it’s playing out as it should?
No you don't. But we know where you Confederates stand.
I’m sure your smooth brain wonders about plenty of inane things
Literally working with the family.
The entire organization ? Their spokesman ? Their president ? Why does that matter to you ?
they absolutely need better training and especially do not need to be handling mental health cases either
After being told to not pay attention to black on black violence for years. Now its a problem?
Lol
This is not black on black violence. This is about abuse of power. Police feeling their entitled to do whatever they want without repercussions.
This is an issue of police brutality. You making it about black on black violence and being dismissive tells me that you are just racist.
Who has said not to pay attention to that? And I’m curious is “white on white violence” is a part of your vocabulary in the same way?
Black or white doesn't matter your action lead to your own death one way or another. Its up to your parents to teach you dieing is easier than you think.
A vicious gang beating *of their own* by officers of the law-is just disgusting!
✋🏻✋🏻✋🏻
I want to see the entire video, not just what the City of Memphis and media has been editing for the last 17 days. But then again, I want to see the Paul Pelosi house break-in video too that the public has never seen. We see what the media and “our” government wants us to see, which amounts to partial truth at most.
Totally agree with you.
I also want to see all those erased text messages that the Secret Service of Donald J Trump, or text messaging to each other, that were erased, never to be seen as well, 1:22
@@moisesperez4605I'm more worried about why Pelosi and the mayor of DC rejected the national guard.

Why didn't The mayor of DC ask for the national guard if they knew what was going to happen on the 6th?
President can't send in national guard, they have to have permission to send them in.
Why did Pelosi deny Trumps request for thousands of more police.
Oh, but you've got Google, I'm sure Everytbi g I've stated CNN has already said is "conspiracy theory".

Where is Ray Epps? Gonna deny him too despite being in hours upon hours of video footage inviting the riot and telling people to storm the capitol?
He was FBI.
Why wasn't he questioned?
Nobody is judging them; their actions judged them .
That's totally stupid if you look at the reason for qaulified immunity. Even with qualified immunity you can sue and win if the defendent's actions are beyond the normal scope of his duty, such as excessive force.
So, where’s Al and Jesse…..

@@strongblackliquor - black cops beating a black man = no riots.
@@strongblackliquor since when has that mattered?

As a black man, this comment infuriates me. For one, because it’s true and two, someone’s death is producing these type of comments. Everyone’s life is precious and I wish everyone would agree, including black people. ESPECIALLY black people.
At the same time, if you know about redlining and have read some of the recent declassified documents about the FBI and Hoover, you know this was the outcome the government was striving for.
Before they are blaack= they are police.
@@BBroadnax so now we're going all the way back to J Edgar Hoover
Are you saying that black people are violent to one another and therefore we should “overlook” this as typical “black people” behavior? Because I don’t know how to interpret what you said any other way.
All should get the death penalty
I, for one, believe these officers should be sent to NYC, Boston, Baltimore, Philthadelphia, DC or Chiraq.
That is until the Non judicial system is ready for them.
Conservative propaganda is full of lies. Violent crime is higher in Red states, and gun legislation is done at the state level, not “blue cities”
Baltimore is iffy. The rest are fine. Though, I base my opinions on personal experience and not what the news man tells me.
Anything short of the maximum sentence is unacceptable
This is racism wait nvm
Yeah it’s still racism. Studies consistently demonstrate that minority members of police forces tend to develop stronger in-group identities with police than with their racial group.
@@SorenPenrose What’s studies? Where can i read them?
@@BH-xp8ic read up on group identity. We all have several in-groups that we belong to and our strongest in-groups don’t always fall along racial lines. This is common knowledge and can be found in any introduction to sociology course.
But yeah, the point here is that being black doesn’t mean it is impossible to engage in anti-black racism. This can happen when a black person develops a stronger in-group identity with another group, such as the police force, and then carries out an act of racism as a member of that group.
I say this to fight back against that very annoying refrain from conservatives every time the officer in one of these situations is black.
It’s just so annoying to me how conservatives ask what they perceive to be unanswerable questions to illustrate their point when the reality is that the questions have been answered and do not further the right-wing narrative. It’s like when a creationist asks “if we came from monkeys why are they still monkeys” thinking they’ve stumped all of science.
@@SorenPenrose No clue why you’re getting defensive or political just simply asking where I can read this study you speak of. Can’t say i’m surprised you couldn’t cite one study or where i can go read about this nonsense you just made up lol but whatever floats your boat buddy.
@@SorenPenrose I appreciate you taking the time to try to educate them but I'm sure it's failing on deaf ears. "I'm not black, I'm OJ" kinda went over other communities heads
And we criticize Cuba, Venezuela, North Corea….
We live in the land of the free.
I just don’t understand the purpose of the police, some times there are 10 caps for a traffic stop. It’s just a waste of money and lives.
Where's blm.?
Why ?
Where is the dash cam video of the reckless driving and how the cops drove up on Tyre’s car?
Sooooo,… Police officers WILL be held accountable …when they’re black …..?
Give it up, no one is buying the race baiting BS anymore.
So are the white ones
Would you prefer they aren't?

"Held accountable" they're going to go to the cop unit in a female prison and get cushy positions while locked up

OH NOW THEY WANT A FAIR TRIAL. NOW THT YOU GOT CAUGHT NOW YOU WANT TO PLAY THE VICTIM AND ASK FOR LENIENCY. PLEASE SPARE US THE BS DID YOU CARE WHEN YOU WERE BEATING HIM LIKE A SAVAGE AND HE WAS CALLING FOR HIS MOTHER.
I know 5 officers have been charged but there should of been more. How many other officers just stood there? No-one tried to administer aid. The 1st responders also done nothing. I know 2 first responders have been suspended and they should also be charged. The video is horrific, sickening and should NEVER of happened
They're all black... We're ok from roits.
Yes ! I like you !
No, mayates are special so if one dies now they still riot
Not okay because when it’s a white person it’s not the same justice, but God will avenge who has blood on there hands when justice was not fairly given when in obvious fault by plenty of white police officers
No 5 finger discounts this time around from looting in honor of made-up racism
They were arrested or because Trump isn’t the president.

We don't care about this video we want the pelosi videos 💯🇺🇲
we very much do care about this video. a man was beaten to death. his family is grieving him
They should’ve fired EVERY OFFICER ON THE SCENE!!
If it was a simple traffic stop there wouldn't have been five officers at the scene . Obviously things became escalated due to the behavior of the suspect .
Doesn’t justify homicide

No one intended for him to die it was a surprise to the officers. What is this guy on? 5 guys beating on one body, and no one expected serious injury? Let’s wait for the autopsy so we can find a loop that he had a weak heart. Then it wasn’t the beating he was just weak.
