Capbyrd

Kinda, possibly. It’s based on the “surface area” of the end of the extension. And I don’t know what their metric is there as I haven’t read the entire ruling.

I still have some.

He goes so far as to say he isn’t watching video 1 because we assume the arrest was legal. He says cops don’t just go around arresting people for no reason. It simply doesn’t happen. His reasoning.

I believe you missed the part of the videos where he wasn’t afforded the opportunity to comply. He was told to get out of the car while simultaneously being violently removed by the former officer. One was holding an arm under his body while he was told to roll onto his stomach. Much like Shaver, the commands were either impossible to follow physically or countered other commands from others on the scene. Unrelated In the video after the second beating, an officer can be heard saying he has Tyre on video almost running into his squad car and driving down the wrong side of the road. Where is that video? If that’s the case, I suppose we will see it in court.

I believe that changed last year though.

As far as I understand it, officers must be able to articulate felony charges any time they involve themselves in or initiate a chase. That’s what that statement was about. in the same video, one of the officers says he only saw Tyre because he stopped to wipe his face. He was so close to home. That hurt as much as anything.

Not much. The city has insurance policies for this stuff.

Sorry. It’s five.

The longest tenured of the five had just over five years. A couple only three years. and I don’t buy the training argument. You don’t train cops to be good human beings. You train them in tactics, policy and law. None of those are displayed in this series of videos. These videos demonstrate 8 individuals failing on a basic human decency level. The argument used to be, and people gave a pass for, that officers only encounter the worst of humanity and so they start to see everyone as less than human. That doesn’t make it okay. Not in the slightest. These guys may have been great people. But on January 7th, they committed some of the most heinous acts known to man. I pray for Tyre’s family and the families of those officers.

I’m 39. I know. But I’m older than my age. My dad always told people I should have been his brother.

Not combative at all. And I wasn’t singling anyone out. But generally in these type situations there is a lot of trying to defend officers. People trying to point out a criminal history of the victim or finding pictures that make them look bad. Asking to wait until we see the video and giving them the benefit of the doubt. There just wasn’t as much of that this time. Maybe because there wasn’t anything to find about Tyre. Not just here but it seems everywhere the general attitude towards this has been that it was VERY VERY bad from the start. And again, I don’t know if that’s because of an overall shift in attitudes or because everyone could just tell that this was wrong from the jump.

Memphis did not burn last night. Regardless of your issues with any signage, or where they protested, the bridge protest was peaceful. the rest of the city lost their minds. There was a lot of vandalism and burglary by opportunists. They weren't carrying signs or chanting. It was the same people who are always burgling and vandaling taking advantage of the climate to make their city worse. But overall, I’m proud of my city so far. The days to come could be very different though so I just pray for level heads to prevail. I should also say, I’ve never seen a police brutality thread on this forum where almost no one defends the police. I don’t know if it speaks to the general attitude of the forum changing or the specifics of this thread. But it is definitely new.

And those rumors and conjecture don’t contribute to the discussion, at this point. I think a lot of people are trying to spread these “whys” to justify why people they generally seem to respect or “back” or support would do something like this. And in my mind it distracts us from the fact that it did happen. The why doesn’t matter. They were driving MPD vehicles, getting paid by MPD and wearing MPD uniforms. They represent not just Memphis but police officers nationwide. We are a developed, supposedly free, nation. Our law enforcement officials should never act in this manner, reasons be damned. If Tyre was sleeping with one of their girls, does it change anything? They used their position of authority to take a man’s life. That’s the point of this. The why doesn’t change that for me.

To my knowledge, there was no helicopter up that night. The “aerial” footage is from a pole mounted camera known as sky cop.

Two models. The DIY version and the Gunsmith or Pro model. The diy version uses an Allen wrench. The pro model has a magnet tip on the screw to hold small sight screws and the front sight wrench is a t-handle for the screw. Both have bundle specials right now where you can get the pusher and their new R3D sight set. https://xssights.com/products/sight-tools/glock-sight-tools/sight-pusher-kit-GUNSMITH-series.html

The only thing I’ve seen is reckless driving.

If the video is half as bad as rumor says, timing won’t matter. also, the video released now almost certainly won’t be the full video. Not to hide or cover up anything but because it’s generally the case. We rarely see complete footage in these cases until the trial. Also, it’s gonna be a lot of footage. 3-5 dash cams. 5 body worn cameras. At least one sky cop camera.

I once held hope that Memphis would not go insane over this. As bad as things got around the country during George Floyd, what happened here really was almost entirely peaceful. that hope is gone. Al Sharpton is giving the eulogy at the funeral and Ben Crump is giving “a call to action” at the same. I now believe that we will have a lot of outsiders stirring the pot here and making this something that it otherwise would not have been. I pray I’m wrong.

One can only hope that day is nearing. I know some Memphians are getting a little more serious about it since Arkansas and Mississippi have both moved in the right direction.

Matt gave these fear mongers much better names. Panic peddlers and outrage farmers. Stop listening to them!

I’m planning on it. I should have ordered last week. They are out of stock right now.

I grew up in the areas that these people call dangerous and refuse to go into. The people you are talking about are some of my closest childhood friends and I’d go so far as to say brothers. I’ve met plenty of people that would jump at the chance for a lawsuit from a car wreck or falling in a business but I haven’t met a single one that would risk an encounter with the police for that opportunity.

They are still uniformed but not the normal uniform. They are generally in grey chargers that are, indeed, unmarked. And in case y’all wanted to know. MPD SCORPION Unit. “Street Cars Operation to Restore Peace In Our Neighborhoods”

Or….just don’t put a dot on it. But if you, why wouldn’t you want the bigger window? If you are noticing the size of the window, aren’t you paying attention to the wrong thing?
