I watched the video the Memphis PD released. [View all]

Those cops got mad and decided to murder Tyre Nichols. That's what I saw. At the initial stop, when they went hands-on with him, some dumbshit deployed pepper spray and it got all over everyone. Instead of being pissed off at the dumbshit, they got mad at Tyre Nichols. Then, after he got away from them, they were mad because they had to chase him down.

Then, after they caught up to him again, they decided to really take their mad out on him. Running kick to the face, check. Baton strikes while other officers held him down, check. Two officers holding him up while another punched him in the face, check. Two officers holding him down while two more kicked him in the ribs, check.

Their defense attorneys have their work cut out for them. Defending the indefensible is a big lift.
