Everything You Need To Know: Tyre Nichols Death | Breaking Points

Anyone remember the Baltimore PD gun taskforce? Pepperidge Farms remembers. Its almost like special units that operate like gangs are a bad idea.

You have to imagine how many times they must have illegally abused people before they ended up killing one and getting caught.

I was a victim of a cop beating after calling for help about 10yrs ago. My neighbors were addicts and we're busting bottles in the community Commons. I called for help. Once they showed up, They threatened to shoot my dog then refused to give me their badge numbers. I took my phone out to record the interaction which sent them into a rage. That's when they grabbed it and started screaming stop resisting while they smashed the phone and proceeded to try and rip my arms out of socket. Don't assume your phone will keep you safe. They don't care if they're filmed because they believe they're untouchable.

I often think of the Stanford Experiment when I think about police officer. It always blew my mind how those people acted when they were given fake power, idk what people expect when you give people real power.

it takes 1500 hour of training to be a barber in memphis but only 500 hours to be cop shm 🤥

Disbanding the unit means nothing unless they disavow the policy that created it in the first place. They will simply create the same unit under a different name.

We Own The City is the best series to watch to give an example of what can happen in some of these police departments

They said 'give me your hands' because they knew their chest cams would only show from the torso down, where you couldn't see they were holding his hands. They didn't realize there was a street cam getting the full body shot. How many other officers have done the same thing and gotten away with it because there wasn't another camera getting the full story.

There were debates in the 90s about militarizing our civilian police forces. Arming, equipping and training cops like soldiers. People back then made the argument it was a bad idea, that law enforcement is a different thing than combat. But get tough on crime politicians and defense contractors looking for new revenue streams won the debate. 30 years later I think we can see who was right.

I was waiting for y’all to cover this because y’all are the only ones I would believe. Thanks.
