Stephen A. & Jalen Rose on the death of Tyre Nichols | NBA Countdown

[@qbtc]

Couple things: 1) this was not the first time those officers broke the law - you don't act that way on the first try, 2) those five cops are career criminals with badges. If five ordinary citizens did this, it would be horrific but the police take an oath to protect and serve so this is even more troubling. And I don't have the stomach to watch that video. May God bless his family and may his soul rest in peace.

[@Alan-yt8vq]

Police can be assholes at times. But people need t ppl respect the law and obey. If you resist a police officer, that's your own fault like Nicholas if he did. Seems no one has learned their lesson even yourself. Obviously the police handled it badly. But what can you do when people resist, like George Floyd or even Keenan Anderson. Most of these incidents happen ppl en when people resist. Now racism has been thrown out of the window. So you can't blame color. As most leftwing says it's race even this panel for so long.

I have to speak honestly to this . I’ve lived in Memphis all of my life. I’ve seen a lot, especially in the black community. We are fearful when we encounter many of the black police officers here. There is no comfort. So many of them behave as thugs with badges. I was not surprised at all when informed they were black. This fear seems unfair to other officers in Memphis that really take pride in serving and protecting the community. Tyre’s life should not have ended this way. Im a mother with a 25 year old son in Memphis. He goes to work daily, listen to country music and read books. He doesn’t have a cruel bone in his body. A mamas boy. I fear for him all the time. Tyre reminded me so much of my own son. No family should have to go through what Tyres family is going through right now. We should feel safe in our own city but we don’t.

It is possible it got worse because of the "Defund The Police" movement.

The Memphis police department is quite shorthanded, and needs an additional 500 officers.

What was up with Emergency Medical . The minute they arrived,they should have put a Neck Brace on him and onto a stretcher, headed for the Hospital. He kept banging his head on the ground and they just looked. This has been mentioned before in another Post ! That was hard to watch. He was tortured for a long time . I'm surprised he lasted 3 DAYS

[@joelrucksion8198]

They got fired as well! Absolutely no accountability form these folks who swore and oath to protect and serve.

[@angelajones197]

It seems as if the medical field embraces the police before their own duty, they did that in the George Foreman case as well. I know a person was hurt in a police chase and the doctors at the hospital treated him bad placing their fingers in the holds in his leg to cause more pain so in a criminal situation the medical people side with police. That's something else that's needs to be address as well, across the board their non- professional attitude in a criminal situation.🤔✅

@@angelajones197 I've always respected Emergency Medical Responders. I have 3 sisters that are retired Nurses. I was saddened by their actions. I'll bet others in the field are steaming !

Stephen A gave a really good analysis.

[@metv1221]

This situation is never about the race, but rather more about the we are here to protect and serve... this was a action that said we as people are failing each other. If you wanna blame a color blame blue, it doesn't have a race, just a agenda. But because we stopped praying the evil spirits out of our community, none is safe in the community. Evil begat Evil. Love and peace, blessings to all

[@cantstop-wontstop2138]

@uTubeDat Nope. It is definitely about race. Police in America have ALWAYS been the front-line defenders of the white supremacist agenda. That's a historical fact.

[@parisparis7682]

Factsssss thank you men factsssss thank you I live here in Memphis it's a lot that happens here and Southaven please everyone stay focus

[@billyyank5807]

That was the cities own pole cameras to catch criminal acts....well,they sure caught a criminal act!

[@BSmoothe805]

To Stephen A's point, the fact that they purposely covered their body cams to insure their eye witness account was the only version of events to matter is not only sickening, but truly terrifying.

[@thabiledlamini1085]

I'm so hurt. We aren't safe anywhere anymore.

[@ericradford2142]

Tell me about it.

[@1990758]

Who said we were ever safe

[@Austin-x6l]

Can’t pull the race card on this one 💀

[@marycarlin1911]

Not in Memphis cause your police chief created a second murderous unit .When do we speak about when the mayor ,police chief, and the city manager take responsibility for their actions? Corruption runs from the top down...

[@DocJones2020]

After seeing this the 3rd. time. I cried. He could of been my child. God bless The Family. ❤

[@terrybritt4396]

Man why are they charging them with second degree murder is sad to me

[@1990758]

What should they be charged for in a state of Tennessee under these circumstances according to the law

[@agentgnome7225]

I wish ESPN would stick to sports. I understand if they talked about a death or something bad happening to a player but this is something that should be talked about on the news

[@1990758]

Unfortunately that’s never gonna happen.Oh wait until Monday when They start asking young black athletes about how they feel.

Can you guys speak on the gang violince in the inner cities next I lost my cousin to a robbery also Philly is under siege can you also please speak on Baltimore too

[@d_roi8689]

Sorry for your loss. Your comment is part of my frustration as we talk about violence against Black men; there needs to be more talk and actions taken against the violence inflicted upon the same race of victims.

[@besmith7093]

This will never stop

Thank you for supporting Memphis it's sad to see the abuse that that young man took Tyree start a military or war with soldiers it was horrifying.

I think SAS came thru this time, took a national uprising, but he did

[@makedredd299]

The Police’s Scorpion Squad stung itself in its own back. 🚨 🚔 👮🏾‍♂️ 🦂

[@loisnoble9139]

God never leaves this world without a witness. Thank God he ran and was under that camera. They beat this young man to death as if it was an initiation into a gang. Total disregard for human life. They should spend the rest of their natural life in PRISON.

[@rollsroyce2627]

SAS well said my brother ✊🏾.....Peace

[@jeremyx3758]

Speaking of us calling law enforcement to assist and they abuse said authorities... There's far too many families that have called authorities for mental health crisis' Only to witness that loved 1's murder by police And even SADDER... There's stories of ppl being killed by law enforcement when they themselves called for assistance while audibly making it known to dispatchers they're obviously suffering a mental health crisis

[@user-ev8lv2rk8i]

Very sad indeed

[@harrybuttworth6765]

Well said.

[@djeezee7798]

First off Rest in peace to this brother and as inhumane and sad that this is. I'm thankful that he made it to a place where Justice can be served against these monsters. His life was sacrificed but making it to that camera is going to punish these fools and spark change that will save lives. Disbanding that unit and getting rid of the five is just the beginning I hope.
