    Cops in the body cam footage claim Tyre went for their gun.

    Yeah you can see them starting to try a get a narrative going. Truly disgusting to watch. As an aside they’re all really badly out of shape nothing elite about them.

    It should be pretty simple to review the footage and see if any of them ever said this during the beating.

    Yeah this is worse than Rodney King. The SkyCop footage is horrifying. He took at least 15 shots to the head with either a foot, a metal baton, or a closed fist. These cops need to never see freedom again.

    Oh my god I just saw it. Video from overhead camera big guy walks up to him prone on the ground and drop kicks his head full force. Then the beating is on. Life in prison for those guys

    Just reading about it is breaking me.

    The cops now have unofficial training on doing exactly what you’re saying as a smoke screen. Someone posted the video of the gentleman being shot in his trailer. When the cops come in they call out to each other that there’s a camera and then IMMEDIATELY verbalize the question of a gun for the camera’s sake.

    One guy is seen limping around after kicking him. I’m not sure his body camera captured it and much of the video is black or garbled. If not for the overhead camera they might have got away with it..

    The worst part for me is watching him writhe around helplessly with zero medical aid. Everyone failed him.

    I’d be ok with these cops being executed.

    I’ve seen homeless mutts treated better. An unbelievable display of man’s inhumanity to man. Heartbreaking and depressing.

    We should thank Tucker Carlson for warning us that ANTIFA is preparing to foment violent race riots around the country.

    The ubiquitousness of cameras is going to change things for the better in my opinion. We will lose some “privacy” but the truth will be out there for every police interaction. Children will be harder to molest. It won’t eliminate problems but it will minimize them.

    I don't remember the last time I saw such incompetency by law enforcement.

    I mean.......spraying pepper spray on each other?

    How do these kind of idiots even get hired in the first place?

    Have to think the EMT guys failing to help the guy for a long period of time is gonna be a big problem for them also. They have already been suspended.
