Whatever financial damages the family justifiably gets should come out of Memphis police department pension fund. Start hitting the police/law enforcement pensions instead of city general fund. Citizens shouldn’t have to pay for these systemic dept failures. Enough!!!

WTF happened to the white cop who tased him? I made myself watch the damn videos (although I did have nightmares last night).

Until the majority of the white community is just as fucking outraged as the black community over this bs, nothing of significance is going to change.

Yes I couldn’t agree more. It was obvious he was scared to death, the police were aggressive and unhinged and he for his life and rightly so, they murdered him!

I only watched the part of the video that PBS News Hour showed. I was sickened and horrified. I don't care if they pulled Ted Bundy over, he was still entitled to humane treatment. Those cops were fucking animals and I hope they rot in jail for the rest of their miserable lives.

Agreed. Ironically mass shooters/serial killers very rarely get killed by police, but then black men don’t normally fit that profile.
