    It’s weird they finally found a chance to act swiftly. Glad they did but I can’t put my finger on what’s different from this and the hundreds of other cases that never get charges filed.

    Like I said, weird.

    This is so dumb. They've built up how bad it is for a week and everyone there is going to be ready to riot. It won't even be spontaneous. Just put the shit out asap, don't have a week long build up for it like it's a primtime special.

    But what about those sweet, sweet ratings?

    Also, since Georgia is rolling out the heavy artillery to deal with the Cop City protestors, we should be on the lookout for some pretty shocking stuff from there. I'm getting a real Tiananmen Square vibe from that.

    The public has a right to know what happened but releasing a video of a guy getting beat to death seems wrong to me.

    To know what happened you need to see the video. You have to actually face these things in order to understand how fucked up everything is.

    ya but if it was my dad or brother, I don’t want the public watching his death. It’s humiliating like a public execution and most people are watching for the morbid curiosity not because they want structural change to be enacted

    Would Emmett Till’s death be considered significant if his mother had chosen to have a close casket funeral? The whole point of this is that it shows people just how far police violence can go and that the horror stories that they hear are true.

    We’ve moved up my school’s basketball games from tonight to right after school this afternoon. Everyone’s bracing. Rumor is you can hear Tyre Nichols’s neck snap in the video

    I think that kidnapping is the craziest charge against these cops.

    People looking to be destructive have a whole weekend instead of it fizzling out on a weekday when people go back to work and continue their normal weekday routine.

    maybe I’m overthinking it.

    They let it build for a week and then people have nothing to do for 2 days. It's not a case of sliding in something nobody was expecting and hoping it doesn't gain traction and everyone has moved on by Monday. It's been a front page story for a week and now they are releasing the video in prime time.

    as a POC myself I need to see the carnage the men in blue can cause that words simply can’t get across to me, my son needs to see what police can do to him and to be vigilant of these pigs…..words from a CNN article doesn’t hit you as hard…..there is a reason why the saying goes “a picture is worth a thousand words” or else the severity of what these monster murders are doing wouldn’t hit the same as a new article

    when did I say it was a cover up? This isn’t the extent of police brutality. I’m saying you shine a light on all of it. You release everything you have and can. Because, they’ve been fired and charged doesn’t mean you don’t release the videos.

    They're showing the whole thing. So far it looks like they pulled him over for no reason. They pulled him out of the car and threw him to the ground. He was calmly trying to talk to them and they said he was resisting so they started kicking him and tasing him. He got up and ran. They haven't shown the worst part yet(when they catch him). The cops are out of shape pieces of shit though so far.

    I really wish it wasn't 5 black cops so it'd feel more like progress for them to be fired and charged so quickly and for the FOP to not support them bc this honestly feels more like 5 black cops being thrown to the wolves when we've seen the system try to protect countless white cops in the same situation.

    Not excusing their actions at all, just judging the difference in reactions from the ghouls that normally protect cops.

    I’ll add to this. Growing up where I did my friends would tell me what cops would do to you. So I knew from an early age i didn’t need to see videos to understand their evil. So to me it’s not just about people from our communities but for people who don’t know or understand why we hate and fear cops. Sadly we need those in the majority to be allies to help enact change.
