Five Memphis police officers — fired for violently beating a man after a traffic stop — now all face second-degree murder and other charges. Investigators say the officers beat 29-year-old Tyre Nichols so badly, that he died three days after the violent encounter. The former officers were booked into jail this afternoon. ABC’s Faith Abubey has details.

What more if it's Non White Law Enforcement Authorities, despite the fact there's HIStory behind the Relationship between Police and People of Color, Sex Oriented, Disability, etc.
Take one guess why there won’t be any rumble in the jungle over this???????
If you ever watch COPS on TV or JAIL, tell me truthfully how you can stand and take the abuse of those doing wrong things but think they are above the law. And that comes in all ethnic groups. This nation is a nation of privileged snotty people of all colors! If a cop pulls you over, be compliant. Nobody is above the law. Perhaps these cops were unable to contain themselves professionally which is why not everyone who passes the physical tests to work in the police Corp You have to be mentally superhuman. It’s a rare thing that most people do not have.
No outrage, no outcry. Media is soft on this . Why …… I know why …..do you ?
5 THUGS…………..
PEACEFULL PROTESTS?….. HA HA HA HA good luck with that…….
So why isn't there any nationwide protests going on
ACAB
Good, throw the book at them. I wonder if the community is going to play the protest / riot / card. If they do it will only make it harder for law abiding black folks to thrive in our society. Why. Because the bad behavior above hurts black folks the most. Nothing wrong with protest but endless protest, violence, rioting and looting confirm bias's outside the community.
It is a hate crime it's racist because some of those black men do have white in them that's racist
Look at the cops DNA
I know nothing about this case. I want all the information before nailing opinions to the wall. If they were all wearing body cameras then it's got to be very clear-cut. Im seeing a lot of negative comments from the police themselves so that is quite telling in itself.
Them cops iz rassis
Police officers need to understand that they are under surveillance at all times. Do your job, it's dangerous we appreciate you, DONT KILL ANYBODY U R NOT (supposed to be) EXECUTIONERS if u do u go to jail.
Ftp
I wonder if they’ll destroy their communities again

Why does ABC insist on showing these scumbags in uniform with a flag in the background? They are not patriots or heroes. In fact, why are these scumbag cops still portrayed as your heroes? People still wonder why police are being ambushed and killed. This is why. Law Enforcement requires serious police reform including overturning Terry v Ohio, the abolishment of Qualified Immunity, smashing police union power, setting up completely independent civilian oversight with the power to discipline, and strengthening the Brady list to stop cops from moving from one county to another and remove the ability for officers to retire to avoid discipline. Until this is achieved, more good cops are going to be killed because of bad cops. Where are the blue-line supporters now? Back the blue 'till this happens to you.
Wait so black cops get charged immediately but white cops get investigations for months?
I want to find the officers.
Black lives don’t matter to black police? Rodney King and George Floyd 2.0
Unfortunate example of play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Why run like that. Stupid by the victim and cops. Smh.
Not only is there no free medicine and higher education in the United States, as in many countries of the world, but the police are killing civilians! In the US, power is shared by two parties, and they both represent the interests of transnational corporations, one – financiers, others – industrialists. And none of them represents the interests of ordinary citizens. The US has a high Gini coefficient, the money goes to the oligarchs, and ordinary people get nothing from the growth of the economy! The United States has more homeless people per capita than countries like Vietnam, India, Iran, and Kazakhstan. The US is the richest country in the world! The US leadership spends budget money to finance wars and revolutions in many countries of the world for the sake of enriching the oligarchs, instead of spending it on US residents. It is necessary to protest and demand the resignation of the US leadership!
More than 20% of US adults have difficulty writing, and some cannot even read a newspaper. It is reported by the ABC TV channel.
The claim that most English-speaking Americans can read and write at a basic level is not true. This was shown by a study of the International Program for the Assessment of Adult Competence (PIAAC) under the auspices of the US Department of Education.
According to the study, one in five adults in the US has a very low literacy rate. 43.5 million Americans experience difficulties with writing and reading. And we are talking not only about migrants, but about people who speak English from birth.
Is it true that the situation is so serious – or is it all about the methods of measuring literacy? US Democratic Party consultant Anton Konev believes that both factors are at play.
Literacy for the US Department of Education is the ability to understand, evaluate, use and work with written texts, and interact in writing with society to achieve one's goals, develop knowledge and potential.
Why is the illiteracy rate so high? The devil is also in the assessment methods, Konev believes. The United States uses five levels of literacy.
The first level is people who can read so badly that they are unable to read a newspaper and cannot fill out forms in a government office. There are approximately 26.5 million of them. Level 0 – residents, called "functionally illiterate", there are 8.4 million of them. There are also 8.2 million who could not take part in the survey at all due to physiological and cognitive impairments. In total, this is 43.5 million illiterates.
Those who are at level 2 and above are considered literate.
“Yes, such a problem is possible. And the historical and political illiteracy of the population is quite high in North America. This must be fought, taxpayers' money must go to eliminate this illiteracy, and not to enrich the class of oligarchs, ”Mark Tagliano, a US writer and author of several books on geopolitics, told 360.
Also in the United States, only 55% of those who enter universities receive a diploma of higher education, American experts Michael McPherson and Francesca Purcell note.
Let's make it clear right away that we are talking about an average. At Harvard, Stanford, and other first-tier universities, 95% of students graduate. This is a matter of efficiency and, of course, prestige. Low dropout indicates quality education and maintains the reputation of the institution.
However, the average dropout rate is also significant. In Russia, this figure is 21%, at the level of France and Belgium. In Denmark, Korea and Japan it is lower – from 11% to 17%. The average figure among OECD countries is 31%.
Against this backdrop, the American dropout rate of 45% is almost a record. McPherson and Purcell explain it by the high cost of higher education in the country and the insufficient quality of teaching.
Post-secondary education in the United States is almost universal: about 90% of graduates go to colleges and universities. But with the financial accessibility of higher education, everything is not so simple.
Students are increasingly getting into debt to pay for their studies. “More than 60% take loans,” the authors write. “And dropouts are more likely to have difficulty repaying their debts, which only further limits their economic opportunities.” And this is against the background of talk about the availability of higher education with all its dividends, such as the accumulation of capital: human (knowledge and skills), social (profitable acquaintances), cultural (new requests, general erudition).
These problems are especially acute for students from poor families. By dropping out of school, they lose their chances of vertical mobility.
Over the past decades, a lot of learning research has come out that helps improve teaching. But this knowledge has little application in most US colleges and universities, the authors write.
There is a paradox: although the main activity of higher education is the education of undergraduate students, teachers are not given enough pedagogical knowledge. Their work itself is not recognized. Teaching often takes a back seat to research. Meanwhile, it is the relationship between teaching and learning, the contact between teachers and students that are the main indicators of the quality of education.
One way or another, the quality of education is hardly assessed in universities, except for the use of a rather weak tool – student surveys.
Meanwhile, you can use the experience of high school. Thus, experts observe the learning process in the classroom and give structured feedback. This helps improve teaching.
Good. Lock em up for life. They had power and abused it. They don't get to enjoy the rest of their life just as Tyre doesn't.
If this was done by a street gang they would probably get 30years each
I wonder what will happen when it is done by authority figures wearing badges 😡
Only Kuz they black had it been 5 white men they would still be determining if there going to charge
Can we not put these guys in the police officer category this is just more black on black crime
If these officers were white, Memphis would be burning to the ground right now.
If the cops were white the world would be on fire 🔥
LIFE for all of them !!!!!!!!!!!!
The five monkeys
This shouldn't be treated like to George Floyd case
It seems that the police in every country behave like a state sponsored mafiosi occupying force. The solution is to put a bounty upon convictions. Do that and private enterprise will compile a case brief for an offence, and with the consent of the victims, (for without a victim, where is the crime), present that brief before a judge. If the judges assesses that the accused has a case to answer then the judge would order a sheriff, (not the police), to bring the accused before the court. The private enterprise would present the case and if the accused is found guilty, earn the bounty. That process would remove the corruption from the police and from the government prosecutor.

Coward dogs 😡
If they were white they wouldn’t be getting charged
I’m so grateful to have impulse control
Blame the victim. Act 1 of 'Contemporary Policing the little People'.
Does Tennessee have the death penalty? If so, they should all receive it.
😑
and they wonder why people cross the street when they see them approaching.
Good it's what they deserve killing someone for no reason disgraceful
Sad 😔 but here's an idea when u get pulled over don't jump out the car and run and fight the cops you're putting yourself into a deadly situation
I Bet These Black Negroes Did The George Floyd March. Cowards, black men with a badge and gun equals deadly outcome. The penalty should be the same treatment they inflicted on Tyre. Rest his soul.
