Man recalls encounter with SCORPION Unit before Nichols death



Some who know the officers involved in the Tyre Nichols case say at least one confirmed that he β€” and we are hearing several others β€” were with the new SCORPION Unit that MPD created in 2021 as a solution to fight crime. One man says the same SCORPION Unit stopped him on JanuaryΒ 3, four days before Nichols was pulled over.

  1. All so-called "scorpion" was was an intimidation squad, doing their rounds instilling fear at random, completely detached from consequences and given a pat on the back shift after shift. I can imagine these cops fired for beating up Tyre are probably in shock… "isn't this what you wanted us for?"

  3. I hope & pray this man is safe. Seems like the πŸ¦‚πŸ¦‚πŸ¦‚ unit were out to hurt people. It’s one thing to be out there β€œ keeping the neighborhoods safe” it’s another thing to harass and kill people.

  4. Tyre's mom said it like it was, "he was in the world to do an assignment "! I believe it was to expose these lowlife bastards! Unfortunately his assignment cost him his life in this earthly realm! Now the almighty God has said, "welcome home my good and faithful servant ", my God give his dear mother and family the strength to move forward.

  5. Scorpions use their pincers to restrain and kill prey. It was obvious by their label "SCORPION UNIT" that Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn Davis expected them to work toward lowering the high crime rate. But the unit's only mandate "RESTRAIN/KILL" was what these Cops understood judging by their past actions prior to the death of Tyre Nichols.

  6. where and what have the internal affairs been doing for all these years to allow police to become this way I believe internal affairs is just taking paychecks to help further police problems and sweep them under the rug all internal affairs needs to just close up shop we all know they are dirty as ever

  7. Um …… Did anyone think this was a good idea 🀯 ……so much for being a unit..,.so much for protecting. Served death huh ……losers. absolute power = absolute corruption. Who was supposed to check on them fire that guy too…. You guys please stop calling these guys police officers they're not police officers, but losers. In capes. MENTAL ILLNESS is real and affects everyone ….. Let me guess their excuses going to be some folie a deux issue πŸ€·πŸ€¦πŸ™‹ please don't forget to incriminate whoever is supposed to check on them and put them together to begin with and allowed all of this to happen/continue that guy has issues. I would just like to put it out there that they're not white cuz I'm going to be that guy right now πŸ™ since obviously no one else is going to point it out the fact that you guys almost never acknowledge when it's black cops killing white people or black cops killing black people or white cops killing white people because your job is to literally divide the people as a generalized rule for being "news"

  8. They were probably told to do wht they did Or they acted out of being sick and tried and frustrated over there own kind causing trouble and committing crime and never getting punished There is a breaking point for every person on a stressful job.
    but until ppl follow the rule of law there will be unrullyness and etc..

  10. "prayed with him" Yea that didnt work, you know what else didnt work? This kind of policing. Its 2023 and the cops still havent figured it out. The war on drugs has created worse problems than the drugs. Time to reset, if that is even possible.

  12. They didn't hurt you because when they said freeze ,you didn't move , when they rough you up and handcuff you you wasn't trying to stiffen your arms , and the main thing you didn't do was try and run! So what's the problem πŸ€·πŸΏβ€β™€οΈ

  13. Just imagine they could've gotten this guy had he not been so dam polite! He seemed to be very respectful and I applaud him for telling us it happened to him. Imagine going to get a dam pizza from the store, and next thing you know a gun is close to your head by police. He needs to sue them. I understand that this Scorpion unit thing was created to try to deflate crimes in high crime areas but going into high crime areas with excessive force and abuse is not the idea. And the thing that gets to me is I don't see hardly anything wrong that Tyre did or this guy to deserve the treatment they did. These were minor trafficking stops. These officers who pulled them over were aggressive from the start. I can't imagine being pulled over and hearing any police say I'll shoot you off the rip and pointing guns at me. Are you serious. Yea they need to get the maximum punishment. And I hope and pray none of their colleagues, family or friends try to take up for them. Nah. Don't try and get on tv and tell everyone how good of father's, sons, brothers, and husbands they are. Cause guess what we are not falling for that BS! I have a feeling I am about to hear it from their loved ones if not themselves. I can just here them now testifying saying they have kids and wives, blah blah. Y'all know how it goes. I just wish I was the judge in this case! Highly wish I was the judge here. Makes me wanna be a judge! Maybe that's my calling. 🎯 I'd give them the absolute third degree! I'm still trying to figure out what Tyre did to get stopped with the excessive force they showed. And then here this man is innocently going to get pizza and to the store minding their business and boom πŸ’₯ here comes these nuts. This is why I tell places of employment to stop hiring just anybody too. Some people don't have good intentions on their minds. I've tried reporting people from jobs that are wrong to corporate and to the better business bureau etc but no one listens until something terrible happens. πŸ™ I could say a lot more. God please protect me and this world at all cost. People are killing each other. One day we aren't going to have a thing. The worst destruction on earth is human itself.
