With all due respect to black gangs they have nothing on Hispanic and other race gangs. That’s not even a decent argument.

During community protests in Memphis on Saturday, Nichols’ stepfather, Rodney Wells, while standing next to a photo of Nichols in the hospital, told CNN affiliate WMC, “You shouldn’t be on a dialysis machine looking like this because of a traffic stop.

I agree

quote:

police department announced officers pulled over a motorist for reckless driving the previous day. “As officers approached the driver of the vehicle, a confrontation occurred and the suspect fled the scene on foot,”

Officers pursued the suspect and again attempted to take him into custody when another confrontation occurred before the suspect was apprehended


I still agree that cops in the heat of moment after getting attacked have to regain composure before they often do and definitely before it becomes a beat down. If suspect gets injured, bruised, or even a broken rib or other bone during 2 violent resists between fleeing on foot I going to assume some of it is cost of the level of resistance even if a little late, but a group beat down once someone is completely down is what urban and rural trashy thugs do (haven’t seen video and going by others).

We should not respond with the same animalistic and trashy behavior but stand above it while still seeking and requiring justice and better police and policing.

For anyone near Memphis I need a new tv.

If memphis riots…does anyone notice?

I remember listening to director/cast commentary for the movie 21 Grams back in the day, and I believe he explained that they decided to film in Memphis because parts of the city were similar to a 3rd world country…or something along those lines.

I could care less if they wanna burn down their parts of the city or loot I just hope no innocent citizens get hurt and no knucklehead makes it worse than it’s already gonna be for Memphis.

Personally I’m just gonna protect my family and friends if it Evers gets bad anywhere near me otherwise let it all burn

Timing on this sucks.

There are going to be people from all over descending upon Graceland this weekend. Lisa Marie Presley’s memorial service is Sunday morning on the grounds of the mansion.

If that’s true, the Presley memorial may be why.

I don't mean to pop in here between all the riot and looting jokes and morbid humor, but, if you want to sit down and tell me that beating a kid to death over a dui charge and him running from you is justified. Well.


If this happen to a white person, mexican, or asian. Nobody bats an eye. Family maybe sues the frick out of the PD.

But businesses will burn, and innocent folks will have their businesses lost because of the race of the victim. There is a major culture issue in inner cities.

Won’t be a big deal because it’s not an election year. So the media won’t push it and stoke the flames.

If you are running away, you really are not a threat. It's a stupid tactic but I really don't see how it could be could be construed as a threat to the cops. If the kid was not armed, why shoot, if he's on foot chances are he'll be picked up within 12 hrs.
Well, if someone is running away from you/us they are not a threat to you/us. But we have no duty to anyone else.

LE has a duty to the public and themselves simultaneously. Not condoning anything, or condemning, but on a felony stop at least (if it was) and they run there's a consideration for the public. The means and methods are debatable, but that has been the reasoning behind chasing fleeing criminals or suspected criminals for a very very long time. It isn't new.
