ALL THE COPS WERE BLACK. THE NEWS AGENCIES ARE NOT DENOTING ALL THE OFFICIERS WERE BLACK. NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE OF FAMILY ATTITUDE WHEN THE POLICE CHIEF IS BLACK, JUST LIKE IN THE GEORGE FLOYD CASE! THEY THANK THE POLICE CHIEF EVEN THOUGH IT IS THEY WHO WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR CONDUCTING THE TRAINING OF THESE OFFICERS. THE CHIEF SHOULD BE FIRED AND ARRESTED TOO, AS SHOULD THE MPLS. CHIEF AT THE TIME OF GEORGE FLOYD'S DEATH.

You can raise 4 children and give them all same treatment, same opportunity and one may grow up making wrong decisions. At some point they are responsible for their actions. Group think is on full display with this case. Only people responsible is the perpetrators. Ever heard the saying, you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink?

Why burn cities as if that will help anything. These officers are being charged with murder. Need to work to hold other officers accountable that have done similar things being careful it doesn't go the route of vigilante justice.

[@stephanikomasara5793]

I agree to an extent… I don’t want people hurt or businesses burned but when is enough enough … how many cops have killed ppl and gotten away with it? How many would justify vigilante justice? How do we set an example so other cops think twice before beating and shooting ppl to death? Over a tragic stop? You would think after Floyd they would have learned right? And to be Frank George was committing an what seemed to be an illegal act of fraud along with buying drugs but still deserved to live and defend himself in the court system… this was a traffic stop. So what will it take? It’s so frustrating.

[@clippedit2962]

burning cities is the only way we will feel even for what happened to us… if they want to live in hell, shall be it

[@toadvine7952]

The only reason cops get charged with crimes is heroes would riot and destroy when they weren't . The riots are on the justice system and politicians who do nothing but help cops be murderous savages.

[@fyi1985]

No one is burning cities right now. Peaceful protest. Smh

[@JohnGrove310]

Serious question. When you run from a police officer and resist arrest, you can possible lose your life, so compliance is always better. Why do people always try to escape and escalate the situation?

[@jamestheproexpat]

No. It isn't a death sentence for anyone. There is no justification

[@tobykirkpatrick7039]

That doesn’t justify a death sentence.. psychologically there are so many reasons why they would resist, panic etc..

[@jasonhermosilla9064]

Psychology. To run away is a natural default reaction embedded in the human mind since civilization was a thing. You smell something bad, you see violence, foresee violence, or death you go the other way fast. I probably would if I wasn't educated in the harmless nature of a normal day to day police stop. (Did get stopped the other day with my German shepherd at the back of my car, the police were looking for a pitbull). If police violence was the norm I'd probably think differently too. From small town Texas and the police here are like family to me, they risk their lives everyday. Praying for the mom and this guy's family right now. The police officers too.

[@teresalee467]

Did you watch the video? He was not resiting. He was scared to death.. He was complying. The officers pulled him out of the car immediately and started this mess. Anyone would've done the same thing. Wtf?

Still no reason to beat someone to death

[@Blarney77-ef2wp]

Look, the guy was severely abused by these cops... but eh ALSO brought it on by fighting the coips and resisting and running away. But these cops were acting like gang bangers. They talked like ignorant bangers. But as with Geoge Floyd and others, he brought it on by resisting and fighting the cops. But the police were taught how to handle thiese situations and they acted like THUGS, Not police. That many cops SHOULD have been able to cuff trhe man when they first got him out of the car. Something really strange. Did N ichols have something to fear from these cops specifically? Was there something going on besides a traiifc stop and arrest? Looks like it. Beating him, for pleasure it seems, was completely criminal.

[@alterego8496]

The officers are black. Looks like even they couldn't stand it . The simple thing to do is not resist or attack back. If any other person was attacked , then they would punch and attack them back. You punch and kick to neutralize resistance of target if they don't stop resisting .
