Crime Ridden Memphis

[davethevol]

Unmarked cars should be outlawed. Just because they have hidden blue lights - which you don't even see in the videos, doesn't mean they are official. The guys in the cars could have been anybody - virtually anything is for sale online these days. It shouldn't be an offense to refuse to pull over for an unmarked car - an absurdly dangerous practice.

I think there are 2 or 3 states that make it illegal for unmarked cars to pull anyone over for a routine traffic stop. They absolutely should be illegal nationwide.

Look, I know what kind of poster I am here. I've existed on this forum for 14 years--damn near half my life--but I take next to zero issue saying that members like Franklin Pierce, TNVOLNAVY, and Csouth are absolute racist pieces of trash who should have their own forum (ideally Stormfront) to spew their brand of filth. f*** every shred of reasoning they attempt to exist on our wonderful site. f*** those guys.

I violate the ToS as much as them. I implore you to abide. Permaban all of us. One of me is easily worth that pile of asinine sh*t I just listed.

I plea to you guys to simply enforce. By all means.

Take two of these and call me in the morning.

I understand but with the officers in question being held accountable. They thought wrong. They didn’t get away with it and they shouldn’t have. The reason for the protests just feels premature to me. That’s all I’m saying. I guess I feel like the protests lose their meaning and power when you protect the system working correctly.

In my view, if the system worked correctly, those officers wouldn't have the impunity to think they could do this and get away with it to start with.

Ya,
They’re human. And humans will do bad stuff. That’s why they should be treated as anyone else by the system. And look at that, they are. That’s improvement in my book.

Watching TV this morning and in the show they make a stop and arrest someone who might be the criminal. They slam him against the car and are physically aggressive taking him into custody. Apparently the whole of society thinks this is ok.
The guy in the show was completely innocent btw.
So clearly we have a long way to go. Does this protest do anything to draw attention to the bigger overall problem? It really doesn’t appear too

There was an incident a few years ago in Middle Tennessee where unmarked cars were pulling people over on the highways. Turns out these were robberies by the guy doing it. Not sure if they ever caught the guy (I can't find anything on that story online right now), but the safety aspect of unmarked cars is a concern just based on this one incident.

The last time I got pulled over was by an unmarked car, looking back on it the cap had to have broken several traffic laws to turn around and catch back up to me just to pull me over.

We’ll since she has only been there a year and has just started to try to clean up a 50 year mess, I’m thinking she should at least get a chance. She didn’t hesitate to get rid of the murderous trash that caused this incident. Have to give her credit for quick action on that.

Come on, she couldn’t do anything else after seeing the video.

Your utopia doesn't and will never exist. It has nothing to do with "TeH sYsTeM" but rather the nature of doing bad things. It's a bigger picture than a profession. Bad things and bad people happen. Sometimes good people do bad things. How would any system account for that other than profiling and discriminating based on nothing the applicant did or could help. We can try to minimize it but will never get rid of it.

A friend of mine got raped as a teenager after being pulled over by a suppossed cop.

MSNBC Guest: Police Culture ‘Is Rooted in White Supremacy’

Former police offer and National Coalition of Law Enforcement Officers For Justice Reform and Accountability co-founder Redditt Hudson said Friday on MSNBC’s “All In” that he believes the death of Tyre Nichols shows that black officers can adopt the police culture, which “is rooted in white supremacy.”

MSNBC Guest: Police Culture 'Is Rooted in White Supremacy'

BLM had more to do with this man's death than white supremacy. It is BLM and it's supporters who have, over the last 5-8 years (whenever hands up dont shoot happened), created conditions that have caused a lot of good cops on the force to retire and find a new field of employment. What those good cops are being replaced with are cops like you saw in the Memphis video, who should have never been given a badge.

Yeah how dare they protest? When cops murder someone you’re supposed to say “thank you” and love on them even more

Protest or riot? Many times when cops kill someone it is justified. Many of the BLM riots were ridiculously stupid as the cops action was justified. All BLM did was enrich a few grifters and make conditions worse for many low income inner city blacks.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Were these cops were really trying to arrest this guy?
It doesn’t appear they we’re making much of an effort to. It looks like they just wanted to beat his ass.

 

[allvol123]

Anywho, watched the video because I heard it was worse than the Rodney King beating...it wasn't. King and the Kelly Thomas videos are probably the most brutal cop beatdown's I've ever seen.

Idk. I think when your beat down ends in you dying, then that elevates it above any where the guy survived.

 

[theFallGuy]

So should the vic's family. Did you watch the mother's speech?

Yes I did and agree.

 

[theFallGuy]

Soo this supposedly elite unit formed to combat the worst of violent felonies pulled someone over for reckless driving…….which my 70 year old mother does everyday? Something is off here.

Agreed

 

[theFallGuy]

more than just the officers involved should have been fired

Well I don't have access to all the evidence so I don't have a clue

 

[theFallGuy]

This must be a really tough spot for most liberals. One one hand they got a black man named Tire beaten to death by cops. On the other hand all of those cops are black. Tough, tough spot for them. Where can they point blame to now? This is another "ouroboros" moment for them.

Van Jones already doing the Lord's work on that

 

[LadyVolette]

Just throwing this out there, but it seems to me a lot of the time, problems and situations are less race driven, but more socioeconomically driven, and that may be a less charged angle to look at things? Idk…the article I saw where they were accusing the black police officers of being racist…I don’t really know because I’m not black…but, I was the only white person at my job ,with the exception of one other person in Louisiana for eight years, and my step father in law was black (he died), while I don’t think it gives me any type of qualifications lol, I think it does give me some interesting perspective.. I felt hostility from some, not all, on the job initially, and that’s a fact… with my FIL there were never any issues, except when we would all go somewhere, and it was usually from… get this…black women lol.. but nothing major

White supremacy is the cause of the pandemic, inflation, poverty, urban decay, global warming and hemorrhoids

Lol

I think he meant from a visual perspective.

White supremacy is the cause of the pandemic, inflation, poverty, urban decay, global warming and hemorrhoids

And prolly supply chain issues

I don't think "my utopia" as you put it is ever going to exist. I do think it's perfectly fine for people to be angry as a community when five of the people that are supposed to protect them beat a man to death while their colleagues watch and EMS doesn't bother to render aid after its over.

This wasn't one bad actor. This was a bunch of cops, some actively and some passively, doing the exact opposite of their job
