Wondering if and when the full video will be released. Anyone know?
I've wondered that as well ?All of this now makes me wonder if Tyre was actually targeted.
So many people involved with this one traffic stop? Why aren't all of these LE employees doing their own jobs at that time and/or busy with other police duties.
I can't understand it.
Slow night? Somehow doubt it. IMOI've wondered that as well ?
As Tyre Nichols sat propped against a police car, bloodied, dazed and handcuffed after being beaten by a group of Memphis police officers, one of those officers took a picture of him and sent it to at least five people, the Memphis Police Department said in a document released by the state on Tuesday.
In the newly released documents, police officials said that one of the five officers, Demetrius Haley, admitted to sending a photograph of Mr. Nichols to at least five people, including two fellow officers, a civilian employee of the department and a female acquaintance. A sixth person also received the photo, the records state

The revelation came in Memphis police documents related to the firing of five officers who have been charged with murder in Mr. Nichols’s death.www.nytimes.com
Reminds me of what happened with the LAPD in the 1980s after they lowered the requirements and hired unqualified officers, some with previous criminal or gang activity. Imo![]()
Amid soaring crime, Memphis cops lowered the bar for hiring
Beyond the beating, kicking, cursing and pepper spraying, the video of Tyre Nichols’ deadly arrest at the hands of young Memphis police officers is just as notable for what's missing — any experienced supervisors showing up to stop them. Former Memphis police recruiters told The Associated...news.yahoo.com
".... Memphis’ police chief acknowledged have dogged the department as the city became one of the nation’s murder hotspots: a chronic shortage of officers, especially supervisors, increasing numbers of police quitting and a struggle to bring in qualified recruits.
“They would allow just pretty much anybody to be a police officer because they just want these numbers,” said Alvin Davis, a former lieutenant in charge of recruiting before he retired last year out of frustration. “They’re not ready for it."
The department offered new recruits $15,000 signing bonuses and $10,000 relocation allowances while phasing out requirements to have either college credits, military service or previous police work. All that's now required is two years' work experience — any work experience...."
Emphasis mine.
Say what ????
Oh, yes, that sounds like a plan.
Who ok'd this fiasco ?
M00.
I wonder if Demetrius Mr Limpy in the video?As Tyre Nichols sat propped against a police car, bloodied, dazed and handcuffed after being beaten by a group of Memphis police officers, one of those officers took a picture of him and sent it to at least five people, the Memphis Police Department said in a document released by the state on Tuesday.

I have thought so after watching the pole camera and seeing the instant aggression. The one guy running up and kicking him after just arriving on the scene. Now that I know photos have been taken and sent to multiple people it makes me wonder if one of them knew the victim and if they did how?All of this now makes me wonder if Tyre was actually targeted.

So he was not Mr. Limpy. I do remember seeing him take photos when I first watched it but it never crossed my mind that he sent them to people.![]()
Memphis cop charged in deadly beating took a PHOTO of victim
Officer Demetrius Haley took pictures of Tyre Nichols after beating him. Haley sent those pictures from his phone to six people, including civilians.www.dailymail.co.uk
That is beyond disgusting: it is deplorable.
It was D. Smith who was limping. And he stated it was from prior trauma.So he was not Mr. Limpy. I do remember seeing him take photos when I first watched it but it never crossed my mind that he sent them to people.
I think the one above is Daily Mail..

I don't want to subscribe to NY Times for one article. Is there a free version anywhere?
I have been waiting for the other body cam videos to be released.

*******************
A female acquaintance? Why? Tyre Nichols was close to his home when he was pulled over. Why was he pulled over? Why was he beaten to death? Why did the officer send a picture of a dying Nichols to a female acquaintance?
I really want full disclosure.
NYT has an article explaining who is who out of these five, but it is behind a pay wall. The problem is not subscribing, the problem is unsubscribing.I think the one above is Daily Mail.
Former officer Justin Smith said on the day in question, he was supposed to be on desk duty due to an on-the-job knee injury he suffered the day before, but a supervisor told him to be on patrol.So he was not Mr. Limpy. I do remember seeing him take photos when I first watched it but it never crossed my mind that he sent them to people.
But he was the guy that kicked him in the head?
"Nichols ran from officers after Haley pepper sprayed him in the face. A group of cops chased him down and beat him before handcuffing him.
Haley caught up after after the assault, and while Nichols was restrained kicked him hard in the head."
This all just seems so targeted. But maybe not. Curious to find out what words were sent with those texts.
