It must have been truly horrendous if they're doing this before the body cam footage has even been released. The police chief herself is calling it a basic failing of humanity.

I was gonna say, there hasn't even been outcry yet, usually at this point cops are exusing everything and bootlickers are denying everything

WTF did they do that it was THIS bad that people who ignore objective reality couldn't even pretend to defend it? O_o

As terrible as this situation is, I hope the officers being actually charged (and so quickly) paves the way for more cops being held accountable, even in less extreme cases.

I mean, I'm not optimistic. But it would be nice.

I said yesterday that for these five police officers to be fired before public pressure, before an inquest, before hearing, before governor intervention, etc., it must be pretty fucking bad. Them being charged is even more rare. The video has to be terrible. The family's attorney said it was like a human pinata for 3 minutes.

It's either extremely fucking terrible or the police chief is trying to set an example for change going forward

But guessing it's the former

The five officers who beat the suspect to death are Black. Even if they get life without parole, it doesn't necessarily mean a change to the system; just a difference in how some offenders are weighed compared to others.

White cops are still cops.
Black cops are still Black.

Yeah, but the public hasn't, meaning it's bad enough that they're doing all of this with out public outcry essentially forcing them to.

The extremely cynical and jaded part of me says that these cops are being thrown to the wolves (absolutely justifiably) because they are black.

well they're actually getting charged preemptively so if they get convicted the police unions and back the blue people will just be like "see they do get punished" and act like nothing needs to change.

Correct. This is a good thing but let's hold white cops to the same standards.

It was enough to get them fired and charged in court.

No, you clearly didn't pay enough attention. After kicking him in the head, spraying him numerous times, they then picked him up off the ground so one cop could restrain him while another punches him as hard as possible.

At this point he can't even stand and they're wailing on him. This is far more than just getting him to stop resisting, it's purely a bunch of bullies and psychos taking their aggression out on a person.

Said it the other day about a different incident but I'll say it again here. Death penalty for every cop involved.

Also, on a lighter note, found it hilarious how quickly the cops ran out of breath when they tried to chase him on foot. One of them didn't even make it away from the cruisers before he had to stop.

I saw a report on that "SCORPION" team these cops were a part of. Supposedly, being "aggressive" was a requirement for selection. Also - and this is very cynical - the SCORPION team sought black officers because it was believed that they could get away with more than white officers. We'll see.

Yes and also it's said that the officers who pulled him over were in an unmarked vehicle. Which you should be never allowed to pull someone over in an unmarked vehicle I believe

Probably cause everyone involved was black. So race card can't be played up.

Also probably why they got canned instead of suspended
