Binos Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 20 hours ago, DA Baracus said: Beating a prisoner or suspect should never be allowed. The scum police in the US are massively armed, so should use the pepper spray or tasers if needed, but we see so often they use them immediately. The police in the US is stuffed full of the worse sort of hideous coward bully scum. So many atrocious attempts at human beings find their way in to that gang, and gang is a very fitting word for them. I think it's the same kind of people that are in any police force But the country is addicted to violence and armed to the teeth So, in their heads, they apply violence first before it can be done to them Must be an extremely frightening country to live in, but suppose you probably get used to it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt They also statistically are more likely to be shot themselves so they are even more hair trigger in those situations Route cause of all of it is addition to arms 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 On 28/01/2023 at 14:49, Mark Connolly said: It's still in English Law, although it was challenged as recently as 2016 IIRC. There was a case in the late 90s where 4 guys agreed to kill someone the next day. One of them didn't show up, but was still convicted, as he had agreed to take part, and didn't stop the others. This is a very long read, but worthwhile for anyone interested in the topic: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/09/joint-enterprise-law-uk-how-do-11-people-go-to-jail-for-one-murder 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something the Americans have been pointing at us and laughing about for years. I haven't read the rest of the thread to see if someone else pointed out, but there was a lad in Alabama (I think) who was given the death pelanty because he was present during the commission of a crime in which a police officer was killed. Him and his friend were selling drugs, I think, when there was a bust and a polis was shot, but not by him. @19QOS19 was it "The Innocence Project"? I deliberately avoided that as it looked heartbreaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Blades Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Saw some rumours online that one of the police sent a picture of Tyre after he’d been beaten up to his (cops) ex girlfriend, apparently she & Tyre worked together & rumours of a relationship, it would explain why the Scorpion unit were in the neighbourhood they were in (relatively affluent & low crime) if it was a case of targeting Tyre. Could all be a load of absolute bullshit of course & I don’t want to come across all @detourment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Hunter S Thompson wrote a piece not long before he died about a girl who accepted a lift from somebody who ended up stopping at a store and robbing it, and shooting somebody. She was done for murder. Can't find any trace of it though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to have known or encouraged the other person to commit the crime…. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was sitting in a car outside somewhere when someone got out and went into a building and ended up shooting someone or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An ex-wife of one of the five officers (Demitrius Haley) worked at FedEx. It is not even established if the two worked at the same location or had contact within the company. Rumours/Speculation: Tyre had a relationship with the ex-wife. The five officers were hunting for Tyre. Picture(s) of Tyre up against the car we’re sent to the ex-wife. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 37 minutes ago, Binos said: First degree murder then If this rumour pans out, its an open and shut first degree murder on all the involved officers due to the addition of premeditation to the videos. Voluntary manslaughter would have been the thing the lawyers for the cops would have tried for, arguing a "state of passion", but you add in this news, if true, ain't none of them walking, and we could very well see a death penalty issued to at least one of them (Haley). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 And the initial police report looks like something from a fantasy writer, bearing little resemblance to what is on the video. https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/31/us/tyre-nichols-investigation-tuesday/index.html Will probably be additional evidence for more charges. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
