Footage of a traffic stop that has seen five ex-Memphis police officers charged with murder appears to show them taking turns to brutally kick and punch a motorist.
The videos show a Taser being used on Mr Nichols before he flees. Clips then show him being held down and beaten.Police initially said Mr Nichols had been stopped on suspicion of reckless driving, which has not been substantiated. He died in hospital three days later, on 10 January. A second video appears to show the view from a CCTV camera on a pole across the street of a residential area, as two officers hold Mr Nichols down while others take turns kicking and punching him and striking him with what appears to be a baton.
Would the authorities show this footage were they white policemen, or is this another ghastly American way to rub the blacks into the mire? God bless America.
Ever since the period slavery ie 400 year ago American Police has been programmed to slaughter Blacks by all means including using even Blacks in police force!
Poor man. RIP.
what part shows a shooting ?
In America the police don't like it if a suspect try's to escape.🤬 It's happened before, where they start shooting at the guy while he's running AWAY!! They put handcuffs on him AFTER shooting him DEAD!🤦
Even though the 5 policemen are black there are still those claiming it is racist and somehow white peoples are too blame, some people never miss an opportunity to stir up hatred
Animals
Act like a pack of animals. I normally support the police but not when some of them behave like that. What the fk were they thinking, why hit the guy repeatedly how the hell they gonna justify the excessively use of force on this one. These apples rotten to the core.
The bbc waiting impatiently for a white person to be involved
Still waiting for the UKs own chief racebaiter Dr Shola to comment over this appalling murder of Tyre Nichols in Memphis. She had plenty to say over the George Floyd killing🤔 Unless there is a stand out reason I cannot quite grasp🤔🤔
They didn't brutally beat him, they hunted him like a pack of wolves and tortured him and stood there while he lay dying. If your going to report it, do it correctly. They killed him like wild animals would. That man was calling for his mum 😢. It should be the death penalty.
All officers were clearly black if any officers were white it would have been put in the text shame on you bbc doesn't fit your narrative does it.
BLM
This was a lynching, five armed guys beat a man to death. I have friends and family who are police officers on both sides of the Atlantic who are heartbroken at this, this is not what the police are, despicable, and they deserve to rot in jail for this!
At least they can't play the race card. Imagine if there was a white policeman involved...
Still No BLM statement 🤔
Wonder if people will still take the knee now it's black coppers who killed and not white
This just makes me sick to my stomach that the people we look to to protect us are the ones using their authority to kill us. I am not from the USA but we in the UK also have issues with our police using their authority and position to commit rape etc, make examples of them all.
Absolutely zero reference or comment from BLM though, Why?
US is a broken country.
Pointless .. watching video as it’s all erased out & can’t discern much apart from a dark shaky camera movement.. any chance of showing it unedited?..
How long are the woke staffers at BBC going to get away with this?This America obsessed BLM bait is plastered all over the website, obscuring far more significant world news like the slaughter of Jews in a synagogue on Holocaust Day by Islamists. You truly are vile. DefundTheBBC
Why did you feel compelled to air this? The cops involved were jailed and should get serious jail time. Inciting riots isn't good and airing this has to potential to set the nation ablaze. Is that you're end-game?
The silence and lack of response in the black community around this has been staggering. This just shows that BLM and everything after George Floyd (arguably less brutal), was nothing to do with Police brutality but just an excuse to attack white people and white communities.
The BBC should not be broadcasting so much hate.
IT WAS A TRAFFIC OFFENCE! what is with this country and violence gun daft and thugs for policemen.
Shirley58118020 *black officers beat black man while resisting arrest.
Was it Racist ? Or is it only Racist if a White cop is involved ? Looks like BLM got all wrong about Floyd, which was excessive force but no evidence of racism ? The old racist card is played a little to much & this incident proves it.
Why did he run? What did he think it would achieve? Why has the video been edited to take out important details?
I love how his race isn’t mentioned once anywhere in the article because all the officers were black.
Us police force are rotten to the core just like the uk my condolences to tyre's family god rest his soul
Thanks god the cops weren’t white!
Bet the protesters are well pissed that all these guys were black. They'd all be able to go on a jolly old black lives rally if they were white..... But they were black, so they can't
Black on black violence is out of control.
Its disgusting to think that they above the law and they can bend it to how it see fit to them and get away with Can't trust the police anymore
Black officers beat a black civilian who later dies in hospital from his injuries. I have no idea how this senseless and unjustified act of violence of black on black could be pinned on white people. But hey, somehow it has . . . go figure?
Irresponsible journalism. This is black on black. A culture of violence, drug abuse and rap culture. But yes ‘Black Lives Matter’. The sooner black people tackle their own culture issues the less this will happen.
Lefty wokes won’t like this. Watch them blame someone white.
If they get sacked I'm sure the Met police will give them a job.
Is it permitted to taser a suspect who is running away? That’s not what a taser is for. It’s less than lethal forced used to stop an armed suspect or someone who’s about to use some other lethal force.
Where's the Blm protests and raised fists Proof that the the blm is actual racist I'd say as they only protest against white police brutality it seems. Ah the hypocrisy
Why is the headline not racist attack If it had been other way round it would be
Have you covered the Paul Pelosi story or PfizerExposed ? Nope, thought not.
Why why why,do we need to see more American racist rubbish, (sorry for the guys family) you don't show any of the racist beatings going on in our schools and uni's, nothing at all, your British not American, pathetic reporting of what the British public need you to show.
Hmmm. What's your agenda BBC? This is the UK! Stirring the pot I'd say, by all means report bu this 👇. 😡
In UK, thug cops get to meet the King.
They all should be tried for murder jailed for life and thrown out of the police force without any pension ect.
Why are we getting American news? Please spend more time reporting on British society.
World most brutal incident
Hideous. Institutional racism and an abuse of power. As corrupt as the met.
NOT UK NEWS
BLM should be all over this
(RIGHT NOW) look whats going on in the comment section of this paul Pelosi vid right now i bet its the republican troll farm in Arizona THIS IS NEWS GO C 4 YOURSELF THESE PEOPLE IN THE COMMENTS R NOT MY COUNTRYMEN
It shows them Murdering him not beating him.
Why are you censoring the video fascist regime
Footage shows five black memphis police officers beating Tyre Nichols. There corrected it for you.
BBC News team meeting: 'Sh1t, the cops were black aswell!'
Hasn't been a Goodyear for him
As stated previously, the police were settling a score that had nothing to do with that stop.
And before you start it was black on black 🙄
Bloody racist police. 🙄
Police forces are infiltrated by savage bullies who see beating people as a perk of the job. They spoke to him like a subhuman and acted like animals beating him. Entry processes should be better to keep these psychos out of the police force.
Horrific! Why so many cops at 1 scene for 1 person? Higher ups need to be fired! Gang like - club scene! The guy limping needs to be under the jail.
Horrific beyond words. His mother is remarkable “I just feel like my son was sent here on assignment from God, and his assignment is over and he was sent back home. God is not gonna let any of his children’s names go in vain”
