That's not surprising.
I cannot get my head around 5-7 grown men losing it like this. One or two on edge that are triggered. But 5? 7? How is that possible?
That’s not a handful of cops. It’s a bloodthirsty posse. >

It's almost as if we need to hear Black people when they tell us about the cops. 
I can absolutely get my head around 5-7 grown men with emotional problems in positions of power. Our Constitution was written by such men. >

“All men are created equal…unless they’re not white. Then fuck ‘em.” And that mentality still exists today. >

The exception here is the cops that murdered him are not white. >

It’ll be interesting to see if they get the same protection from the police union that white cops do. >

Well they're fired, if that partially answers your question >

Weird. I'm almost certain I've never seen such a quick response internally before. Are there any particular variables between this and other similar scenarios of law enforcement violating civil and constitutional rights and killing citizens? >

I'm assuming when it's very public and very egregious for example: the pig who killed george floyd (fired ~1 week after), the pig in texas who scared an innocent kid and then shot him for his human reaction (fired in ~2 weeks), and this recent case in memphis which apparently was caught on multiple body cameras and a police security camera (fired after ~1 week).
edit: added firing timelines for comparable incidents. >

This needs to be a movement without political agenda and just out of public safety, a bad cop is worse than a felon, I think that makes sense to 99% of people. >


This needs to be a movement without political agenda

There’s enough people who think “can we please reduce the number of people killed by police” is a political message to make your advice impossible. >

Can’t wait for the idiots who’re going to argue that Tyre shouldn’t have run away from the cops. Well, looks like he had a pretty damn good reason to run away if they’re the kind of people who are capable of doing what they did to him. >

These cops should be charged with first degree murder.
