Commissar SFLUFAN Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 18 minutes ago, Jwheel86 said: Was this one of those "tactical crime suppression units"? Yes - it was essentially a variation of the LAPD's infamous CRASH unit. Quote The SCORPION unit, which stands for Street Crimes Operation to Restore Peace in Our Neighborhoods, was announced in October 2021 and launched a month later. It encompasses 40 officers split into four teams who patrol "high crime hotspots" throughout the city, the police department announced in November 2021. MPD Assistant Chief Sean Jones told reporters during the launch that SCORPION officers would focus on auto thefts, gang-related crimes and drug-related crimes.

He was stopped for allegedly driving recklessly. He was then pulled from his car, fled on foot when he realized that his life was in danger, and then was beaten to death when the cops caught up to him. And about that initial traffic stop? The Memphis police department can't corroborate its validity in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the video, there’s no fucking reason five cops needed to be beating on that kid like that unless that kid was able to shoot lightening bolts out of his hand like was an X-Men.

best3444 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Can someone answer my question? Why does footage like this need to be released to the public? It can all be handled in a courtroom. Releasing it publicly just causes somany fuckin issues! Wade just flat out ignored me and somebody else said I wouldn't believe it happened. Wtf... My parents and I were completely dumbfounded when the national news kept saying the footage would be released at 7pm eastern time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a not so insignificant amount of people that cant or wont believe without evidence . Anytime someone brings up this young mans death when discussing police brutality without evidence "well we dont know what really happened"," maybe the police were defending themselves". In this case the video is so reprehensible it removes all doubt about what happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm firmly on the opposite side from you. Media in this nation is so sensitive to disturbing footage, we avoid it and the media is often hesitant to share it. As a result, we, as a nation, have grown to inexcusably accept the violence around us simply by ignoring it exists. If people get mad because agents of the state murdered a civilian, yeah, that seems like a perfectly rational thing to get angry about. If people get horrified because the media shared footage of murdered children from a school shooting, yeah, people should be horrified. The fact that we aren't angry enough about police brutality and not horrified enough about school shootings means the move to self censor more graphic footage has done us all a great disservice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wisconsin puts out absolutely everything super quick (basically every semi interesting incident from DUI to shootings), while North Carolina requires a court order.

This is the PD getting ahead of a trial and cutting the officers loose. There’s a better than average chance that if there were no video or if there was a video that would never see the light of day, these officers would still be on the streets. sometimes the trite sayings like “sunlight is the best disinfectant” is absolutely true 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a double edged sword to produce 'veracity' for a crowd that exercises a very dangerous and wilful ignorance, while promoting the trauma that so many have faced relentlessly for centuries. In practice I find very little difference from the times lynchings were public affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t have an extensive catalog of all these situations, but my general perception has been releasing the videos + charging the criminals = minimal rioting. Hiding the truth and not holding the criminals responsible is more likely to result in rioting. I do generally find TV media coverage of these things pretty obviously geared towards encouraging rioting as that keeps eyeballs on screen. Kinda like the creepy way TV news coverage gets seemingly excited about hurricanes as they come in to make landfall. A lot of folks in that business are salivating over the coverage and ratings 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
