I don't mean to suggest you are one of these people, but your post brought this to mind... adios "It was once said, and very rightly, that a man who is well brought up may read anything. The only people who boggle at what is perfectly natural are those who are the worst swine and the finest experts in filth. In their utterly contemptible pseudo-morality they ignore the contents and madly attack individual words. Those who boggle at strong language are cowards, because it is real life which is shocking to them, and weaklings like that are the very people who cause most harm to culture and character. They would like to see the nation grow up into a group of over-sensitive little people - masturbators of false culture of the type of St. Aloysius, of whom it is said in the book of the monk Eustachius that when he heard a man breaking wind with deafening noise he immediately burst into tears and could only be consoled by prayers. People like that express their indignation in public but take unusual pleasure in going to public lavatories to read obscene inscriptions on the walls." Jaroslav Hasek - The Good Soldier Svejk

The taser and pepper spray had zero effect on this guy, chances are he was on something. The beating I saw should not have killed him imho. Once again......all he had to do was roll on his belly, which is not a good place if you are on a meth trip.

Just a rumor, but worth watching: twitter.com "We are investigating a tip that 3 of the 5 officers in the Memphis PD beating of Tyre Nichols were members of the Vice Lords gang and under their direction. Other gang directed beatings were reportedly found on their phones. Recordings as proof of carrying out the beating. According to our source, they somehow were hired because the standards have dropped since police departments have had a hard time hiring, due to BLM movement. All of the cops involved had been with Memphis PD 2-5 years each, which coincides with the exodus of White cops and the city’s stated push to hire majority (exclusively) black officers. We have reached out to @MEM_PoliceDept for comment. Update: Allegedly there is a Bonding company in Chattanooga that many believe is financially backed by the Vice Lords. Huge bonds are being made by this one company for this certain gang. They have members working as jail officers as well. It seems they have people everywhere. Our source is solid- or I wouldn’t have put it out. I think we can both agree this looks like a gang hit." Tom
