How much worse could this Memphis video be than ones we have seen.before?

[Demovictory9]

There are lots of.videos of cops raining down blows on people.

How will this one be worse?

[WhiskeyGrinder]

1. It's over an hour long. Beating someone to death is a lot of work.

You sound a little blasé, btw.

[Demovictory9]

2. Not.blase.. Prior videos.are.horrific..hard to.imagine worse

Lead.cop.said beating is 3 minutes

[AkFemDem]

3. There's a reason why there are degrees of assault

And degrees of murder.

I think we are going to see something far beyond the usual video where people actually argue about whether it’s justified or not. Obviously this is going to be George Floyd and Rodney King level of shocking.

13. Dont unferstand why one of five cant.valm himself and say "stop,

To the other cops

[Srkdqltr]

4. We will find out soon. I'm sure I'm not going to watch it.

[ecstatic]

9. I'm not going to seek it out myself

I never do... but I'm pretty sure I'll be forced into it since I'm watching TV.

5. Probably the brutal, enthusiastic violence of Rodney King but w/ the proximity, video quality,

and audio of George Floyd. Worst aspects of prior incidents rolled into one.

[Demovictory9]

14. Ugh. 😵

[dem4decades]

6. I won't be watching. I did hear that he called out for his mother at least 3 times. That would be

part of it of the horror.

I did see a video of Tyre skateboarding and it looked like he was just enjoying himself. I'll rewatch that one.

7. I will avoid the best I can. I can't change it by looking at it repeatedly

and I already vote blue and help local dems.

[Demovictory9]

11. I hear you..i avoid many videos online

[Kennah]

8. Video hasn't been released, and they are already fired and indicted

Even after watching it, one likely won't be able to speak cogent words about it

[gldstwmn]

10. I don't want to watch it.

I'm not sure we should be talking in terms of better or worse.
Rodney King died many years later but I still think he paid with his life.
I also can't understand releasing the video on Friday night.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

16. They're releasing it at night so any protests can easily be called a riot in order to use more force

to shut them down.

[Torchlight]

12. Local news has mentioned even Dallas, TX is preparing its PD

for protests tonight and over the weekend in anticipation of the recording's release. If it's as brutal and remorseless as we're being prepped for, I think I may make a point of avoiding it if I can.

[Catherine Vincent]

15. If there are protests, I think they will be peaceful
