2. good

[DENVERPOPS]

3. AND

none of this "released on Bond" crap, or "suspended with pay" bullshit........IT WAS MURDER, you shouldn't get out while awaiting trial.....

[melm00se]

6. Bail/bond

is a constitutional right and "suspended with pay" may be part of the CBA termination process.

Criminals have rights too.

[DENVERPOPS]

9. I was thinking that MURDER

is not a normal, out on bond constitutional right. They usually are remanded?..........

4. I think we'll see more of these incidents

As law enforcement struggles more and more to recruit quality applicants, these last couple of years are going to make them have to continually lower standards in order to get warm bodies in the seats.

We will continue to see more violence and more corruption unfortunately.

5. When they were fired immediately I thought it may have been terribly egregious.

Probably dont want to see the body cam From seeing the hospital bed picture. And he was UNARMED.

Memphis police set to release video showing fatal beating of Tyre Nichols

Video of the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols, the 29-year-old man who died three days after a traffic stop by police, is set to be released by Memphis officials Friday evening.

Nichols was hospitalized in critical condition and died three days after Memphis police officers stopped him Jan. 7. Details about what occurred between Nichols and the officers have been sparse; police initially said that Nichols fled on foot during the reckless driving stop and that a "confrontation" occurred in an effort to detain him.

However, Memphis Police Chief C.J. Davis said on CNN early Friday that an investigation and review of available camera footage could not "substantiate the reckless driving" claim.

"It doesn’t mean that something didn’t happen. But there’s no proof. The cameras didn’t pick up,” she said.

12. Even if they had proof he committed vehicular homicide, does that warrant a death sentence?

14. There's no fucking excuse

For this.

Lock them up in general pop?

how come the only cops ever held accountable for anything are the Black cops? It's a real head-scratcher.
