I know so little about answers for police brutality, but this Police Chief with her calmness, her willingness to show her heart, has my respect. Hoping that nobody else dies as this is addressed.
Yeah I'm at 8:56 and it sounded like her voice almost cracked when she started talking about justice within her scope of authority. Most chiefs just want to be big dog and big honcho. She can wear many hats it seems
She is so articulate and yet so plainspoken and her humanity just shines through this. She's totally down-to-earth, and not trying to obfuscate it all she answers all these tough questions with complete honesty it seems to me. She is covering up absolutely nothing
She's the Chief every American wants running their department. When will people learn, don't resist arrest! You're not going to win that fight, win in court, especially over a misdemeanor. I'm not excusing the beating, just stating the obvious. Makes me sick to think some, who likely never vote, will use this as an excuse to destroy property. I sure hope if that happens any legitimate protestors photograph the culprits and turn them in. They may be agitators.
Police brutality in America has been going on way too long. Immunity for these folks can never be an option. Power unchecked is reckless endangerment. 🤦🏾♀️
@@mikebrigs1218 - Until they no longer deserve our support. Also, all police departments need either Chiefs that handle episodes like this the way this Chief has, or they need an independent oversight panel. People who take on this job should be respected, but also they must be held to a uniform level of accountability.
As a 70 yr old white man, I am sickened to see this type of violent abuse to another human being, but this being done by Police, and ones of the same racial ethnicity is beyond my ability to comprehend. These officers acted like a pack of wild dogs. They acted with Gang mentality. How could they mercilessly take turns beating a fellow human being to death? This infuriates me and sickens me. My condolences and sorrow go out to Tyre's mother and family. I'm so sorry for the needless lose of your dear son. May God see to it that these murders are punished appropriately.
It’s been my experience that black and brown police officers are harder on ppl that look like them because they have to prove to their white counterparts that they are not like black and brown ppl in the community. I’m a black women and have had very few positive interactions with police officers but of those interactions the cops that look like me have been worse.
@@Erin_Bee I travel to Memphis a lot for work and when I’m in a Memphis Proper I do not speed and am very cognitive of my driving as to not draw attention from the policemen there! I’m white and the Memphis Police Department is mostly black officers and a good portion of them look like body builders and they scare me! This video was very hard to watch because 5 grown men certainly could have gotten Tyre under control. The worst thing I’ve seen repeatedly is that when black males are being pulled over they immediately shout their innocence and try to get away and Every time it ends horribly for them! I wish that he had complied and all that would’ve happened is Tyre would’ve had a bad night going to jail but he would have been able to post bail and be out either later that night or the next day and he would’ve been alive! I’ve always taught my kids to be polite and answer yes sir or yes ma’am if pulled over always hold the steering wheel with both hands and to comply to everything the officers ask! These officers were in such a rage I don’t know what caused that I would like to see the whole video from the very first of them seeing what caused the 5 police officers to be chasing him.
@@scotttriplett5147 That's how it works in most civil cases. Handle it the same way, the victim get thier full payout and the other side gets to pay a settlement company for the rest of their lives.
Mad respect for this chief and the family. The rest of the US should pay attention to her example. I am immensely sorry to the family of the young man. You have my deepest sympathy.

@John Wick Yes, I'm just a little baby who prefers freedom over tyranny! The turtle truth is that most people utterly despise the police and what good citizens can't figure out is why cops still want the job when the entire world hates them with every fiber of their moral being? (It makes no sense to non-narcissistic people!) Most will agree the police do far more to harm, hurt, and damage good citizens and their families than help them and nothing could be closer to the turtle truth than that statement right there!... The Turtle truth is this: POLICE "Serve and Protect" the states for PROFIT, they do not serve God or the taxpayers that pay their salaries!
She knew the type of sh*t that Dept was doing. She probably put that team together. The way they did this openly meant they weren't worried about the consequences. I'm sure they've been accused of this numerous times. With her being the Chief of Police it's hard for me to believe she's oblivious to why this transpired
Your comment is making me think why were they so bold and and unbothered by the fact they were under a camera and they had body cameras on and they had no self control or care or compassion on how they treated this young man… like I can’t believe this is their 1st incident…and how many more officers are carrying this very horrific behavior…
@@crystalgee7885 because they knew how the law normally worked for white cops...they all knew they were on some kind of camera why they say things like "stop resisting,"cooperate"
She is responsible. Don't let calm in front of the camera fool you. Where was all that concern for the community when hiring or training the force? It is all whitewash to cover the evil that police do
Huge respect for her that's she's doing this egregious act right. No lies no bs answers. It's a real shame all the other police departments don't act like her.
There’s another department, Rialto PD Airbnb incident involving Bob Marley’s granddaughter released their body cam footage once it became viral and no one cared because it didn’t fit the narrative of racial profiling in May, 2018. Coincidentally, 1 mile from Rodney King’s home.
I couldn’t finish watching. 😢 From the very beginning, before he ran, I know he was in fear just by the way they were screaming at him and rough housing him on the ground.
I have yet to get over the inhumanity I saw viewing George Floyd's murder. I will not view this heartbreaking beating and murder of Tyre. I pray for Tyre and for us all to take action to push for law enforcement accountability.
This police chief previously worked in the Atlanta police department where she overlooked a unit similar to this one. It was called the Red Dog Unit. There were similar issues with it as corruption and abuse ran rampant. After much pressure from citizens, the APD disbanded it. This Chief has a tainted history and should resign or be terminated. She owns this one.
I hate to say, but too many BLACK people are singing her praise for what she is doing and they don't even have all the info on this POS police chief. She's as corrupt as the rest of them. She's no different. But she's black so she must be good. I'm tired of knee jerk ignorant black people that make a lot of us black people look stupid.
Right again! and Just like the slimy snake queen scorpion unit is, the red dogs got disbanded (WHILE she was head of it in atlanta!). aint that fishy? she lying when she says she never seen anything like this..her unit in atlanta KICKED down a 92 Year wise queens door and m****ed her!!!! wrong address they defense..she needs to resign and get fired

My condolences are truly for his family at this time as I too have a momma’s boy. Please let there be JUSTICE FOR TYRE AS HE CRIED OUT FOR HIS MOM who was 80 feet away😢
But POC are dealing with an "Us vs Them" mentality and many officers who will do whatever it takes to ensure their own safety first. We saw that in Uvalde where 400+ officers stood around bc the shooter had 1 gun.
She is unlike any police chief I have ever heard speak. She is not trying to spin anyting she is not trying to cover anything whatsoever. Wow I am so impressed. She is so calm so measured but only in the sense that she is not over talkin she is trying to answer the questions honestly both as a police chief but mostly as a human being
When have you ever seen a police chief cooperate and do a full interview like this after an incident like this??? NEVER!!! Most of them will release a short statement or be evasive of these type of questions. She should be applauded for agreeing to take this interview and not run from it.
You so right about that Drew. I’m so very proud of her. Being her body language even shows while explaining pain and concern for the remainder of us who live in Memphis that we are okay even if we scared to even see a officer or want to fight back negatively she has to make a sensitive judgment. Who thinks about our children and getting them home is all home hopefully home to be in our on space to process our emotions No chief ever thought of our feelings. She is being as poised as she can during this time and I love her for that she on as professional as possible and loving as possible. Thanks CHIEF WE WILL GET EASY JUSTICE THIS WONT BE DRAWN OUT AS LONG AS OTHER CASES ARE
Yes applauded… im sure her speech will bring back this poor man’s life… acab. This is damage control, if they had any sympathy they would make sure they arent sending psychopaths onto the street with government funded weapons to “protect the people” ridiculous how many times do cops have to abuse their power for yall to stop acting like they’re heroes
@R S K L she didn't have anything to do with that man's death and there actions. If your kids rob a bank, should we fire you from your job??? She can't control every officer. Will that bring the man back, of course not. But her actions have proven she is trying to ensure they are punished severely. She made the video available QUICKLY, FIRED THEM QUICKLY, and made herself available to the public. Show me another chief who did that??? She is the only 1. She deserves credit for her efforts, not blame for the rogue cops who acted on their own. Don't let the emotion of the moment get you blaming the wrong person.
I have so much respect for this Police Chief. She is so on point and her demeanor is so very appropriate. She has courage and conviction and is the way all Police Chiefs should carry themselves and lead their departments. I am in awe of her. I pray that she does not get backlash from her underlings but I am sure she can handle whatever comes. Bless her.
She’s doing what every other leader should have done when these situations happen. I’m not praising her for doing her job and ultimately covering the department.

You better hold that kudos until you get ALL the info. They are looking into her background and I'm hearing she has some serious dirt and that she is culpable in this. She's just trying to get out in front of this and deflect attention off of her.
The chief is culpable. l in this horrible murder. She acts like this is a rare instance. To be blunt, that's b_ll ish. She provides the culture of the department. Memphis is a very tough city and I am sure she has many police brutality cases. She has more than 30 years in the police. She claims she does not understand why the officers did this. What a joke, I am a 56-year-old black man and I have never been a cop. I can tell you why they did this. If she does not know why this happened she needs to immediately resign.
@@bjt81366 if you can tell then why didnt you? why did they do this? You cant call it racism, all the cops were also black, so dunno why you cited your race

I don't trust her. There's no way that this just happened out of the blue. I'm sure that she is well aware that there have been a history with those officers and is hiding it and also protecting herself.
Well she can't very well play it off and act as if it never happened could she. She saw the situation and the spot she was in and so she made herself look as good as possible. As the captain of her ship, She shares the responsibility, especially since she allowed officers with numerous complaints of over violent behavior to remain on her force, right ? To me, She made it about saving herself and not about the despicable tragedy that happened to Tyre. She's guilty as well and should be ashamed that she allowed this on her watch. She's no Hero ! More like an opportunitist. IMHO
Only because it was caught on video. If this wasn't on video they would've covered it up NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. Always record the police, it could absolutely save you a lot of misery and even your life.
The senseless brutal beating of Tyre Nichols that lead to his death is beyond incomprehensible, reckless, and disgusting. These five x-officers deserve more than life in prison for their gang-style torturous actions. It is appalling, terrifying, and sickening that we have so many bullies behind badges hiding in police departments all over the country. I can't begin to imagine what the family is going through. My best condolences go to the victim's family and friends, and justice for Tyre Nichols. RIP Tyre Nichols.
You know....how many calls are made dealings with the most resentful character's in the most violent neighborhood's.CONSTANTLY.. it will take the best officer's beyond humane strength to deal with all this up rising. Conformity that built our societies is busting it's conformed molded up bringing... Just like the nurses on a battlefield.... The stress gets to all of us.

@@normanparson3941 you must be blind because he didn’t have to do anything but lay flat and give his hands. Had he did that he would be alive. His actions lead to his death. I pray that if you are even on that situation you’re smart enough to not follow his example. That way you can sit here and tell people they’re blind. I know not following his example has saved my life.
First of all he was cooperative and I'm pretty sure even a blind person would have been able to tell because he clearly stated his willingness to cooperate when he was originally telling them not to be so rough. Second of all I forgot that if one person resists five people that they're allowed to brutalize that person as a large group because they have badges. Police officers are supposed to be trained to handle situations where they are being resisted without resulting to things like brutal gang beatings and unnecessary Force. It's almost like they weren't supposed to use unnecessary Force. It's almost as if they're supposed to receive training for these types of situations. But nevermind according to you resisting arrest means it's okay to be murdered. Who needs the Constitution judge jury executioner is a cop.
@@oldasdirt can’t blame that all on her That’s the officers fault they did what they did one of the officers should have came to his senses and like HEY !YALL STOP STOP COOL DOWN
@Greg Lewis shut up you moron! She can't control the cops like puppets, but she can reprimand and have them charged. Some of you are terribly ignorant.
She is a credit to every American community. All of the American police departments should follow her lead. She is a shining light in a very tragic situation.

The officers made mistakes and they will be prosecuted, but so did the suspect, recklessly driving putting everyone’s life in danger on the road he could’ve easily killed some innocent person crossing the street, liberal media has brainwashed you to give the criminal a free pass and only focus on the officers mistakes
I dont get it.. Why was his 'arrest' so chaotic and violent when in the meantime he was not even resisting? Unbelievable and so unprofessional. Rip Tyre. I hope these ex cops will be prosecuted.
@@mikivanduyn9630 prayers are not B.S. . In fact many members of the black community are deeply religious and going to church is a core part of their existence because they know that they and their loved ones have targets on their backs when it comes to cops like these. So many of them need to believe in a higher power and in Divine protection.. Wouldn't be surprised if Tyre's parents are such people. They're probably praying right now just to get through the horror of knowing their son was beaten to death like that. A lot of us are praying for them right now. And praying that the laws change here so that police don't get away with this in the future. Republicans will try to block any police reform but we have to pray anyway.... that good overcomes evil. 🙏
It is so sad that a police force is worse than any gang or crime family I have seen. It breaks my heart. I'm sorry for what that corrupt organization has done. I think the heads of such a violent organization should be held accountable as well.
Sad thing is, this type of $hit has been going on for decades. We know how corrupt the PIG departments are such as NYPD, LAPD, $hitcago....It goes on and on and it doesn't matter what color you are.

I smell a fake police chief who says she is hurt and emotionally distressed by her officers. Blah Blah Blah if this was not caught on camera this police chief would be protecting her officers as the cops said the "criminal" was reaching for an officers gun. As always a police officer is allowed to tell lies. Thankfully the video forced her to tell the truth and take action. Truly if she cared enough the officers would have been properly trained. It was very evident that these officers thought that they would get away with it. They went home to there families in peace as the criminal was in custody. Sadly Tyrene died days later from from a broken neck and bruises for a traffic stop.

Out of five grown individuals that were supposed to protect and serve, not one thought to stop and think maybe this is too much. Not one. I couldn’t watch after hearing that young man calling for his mother. His mother will never unhear those cries. Those five individuals are murderers.
This is one of the best most amazing interviews I’ve seen in such a case as this. This police chief’s demeanor speaks volumes! I have so much respect for her. It’s unfortunate that those officers took it to the level of murder!! My heart goes out to Tyre’s family!!

Supposedly, an article I read this morning, one officer has a past with a beating of an inmate or something like that, he was involved in. I can't remember which ones last name. Started with an H.
This police chief is showing how to be transparent about an unlawful incident that took place with their officers. Most chiefs would not have gone this far in explaining what happened. She was thorough and should be placed as the United States Chief of Police Director. We need more officers like her in our country. I commend you Chief! Well done and well said!
You are absolutely right. A huge contrast from the usual instant coverup from the police departments and Justice systems who all join forces and try to protect the officers
So where was the "BRUTAL RODNEY KING BEATING?" All the video shows is the suspect resisting arrest. These race baiting media outlets are everything that is wrong with our country. Whatever happened to personal accountability?
Seems the whole Memphis Police department needs to be investigated including internal affairs; calls were made twice to internal affairs. Incompetency across the board.
I made it 2 minutes in before turning it off, I couldn't watch it all the way through it was horrific and inhumane. My heart and prayers goes out to this young man's family, and I hope the animals that committed this crime go to prison for life.

If she was leading properly, this would not have happened. The scorpion unit is known for escalating interactions, and Tyre's brother had filed a complaint about the way this same unit treated him just last month. He didn't hear back and filed a second complaint. Heard nothing. A couple of weeks later, his brother, Tyre, is dead. Why wasn't she doing anything about the numerous citizen complaints about these specific officers?
If hearing the police chief talk about the murder is painful to hear, I can NOT imagine what Tyre Nichol's loved ones are feeling. The family's pain is unimaginable. If only we could go back in time and give them back their son.
This was absolutely horrifying! This literally made me sick to my stomach. Every one of these police officers need to be punished to the fullest extent of the law! 25 years isn’t even enough prison time to be honest. This young man lost his life in a senseless beating from men who are here to honor and protect it’s citizens. He was unarmed and this was nothing less than a man who was beaten to death by 5 men! Nothing this young man did deserved this type of brutality! I am so sorry to the family and friends of this young man. My heart goes out to his parents and his loved ones. This behavior from our so called public servants needs to STOP TODAY!
And yet she totally left out her own wrong doings. She was in command of these “men”. And if you think for one second that she didn’t know about this units past than you’re blind. She is a huge part of this problem.
I'm with you on that. It's refreshing to see the chief agree to what was obviously witnessed on the video, and not give us the Politically correct answer, and ignorance to what was witnessed. To say she is part of the problem is BS when you don't know. Some people just want to assume because of how things typically were in the past, which isn't fair.
I would not give her to much praise just yet until all the facts are out; She is the one that put this Rouge Unit together aka Scorpion that initiated this mess.
The key words are they are prepared to "monitor" different "groups" while they may "exercise their 1st amendment rights." It's the COINTELPRO for the 21st century all over again. And that's even came out from a soft spoken chief officer.
She did this interview so respectfully, you can hear in her voice how sincerely genuine she is. Much respect for this lady being so realistic, truthful and honest. She felt this from a mother's standpoint, a human standpoint. Many thanks to her and my deepest and sincere condolences to this man's family and friends. R.I.P. young king 💔 🕊️
I smell a fake police chief who says she is hurt and emotionally distressed by her officers. Blah Blah Blah if this was not caught on camera this police chief would be protecting her officers as the cops said the "criminal" was reaching for an officers gun. As always a police officer is allowed to tell lies. Thankfully the video forced her to tell the truth and take action. Truly if she cared enough the officers would have been properly trained. It was very evident that these officers thought that they would get away with it. They went home to there families in peace as the criminal was in custody. Sadly Tyrene died days later from from a broken neck and bruises for a traffic stop.
There is no way a police chief doesn't know something like this is going on in their department. There is probably hundreds of complaints against their unit.

Wtf she's talking about ? Where do the buck stop ? Was she, not aware of this Unit in the Police ? I bet this is not the first time these Officers brutalized someone. Only this time the person ended up dead.
@@jk11463 CNN, GMA all the media coverage make me sick . Look like a wild life documentary. No question about responsibility. I hope others media outlet will dig deep into all that.
She does such a great job of responding to the hard questions in a very transparent way. She’s not worried about protecting the department. She wants people to feel satisfied with the transparency, and she knows releasing the video is the only way to get her community on the path to healing and fixing these problems. She’s holding those responsible accountable for their actions. I can’t imagine a better response to such a senseless and tragic incident.

She genuinely seeks to do what is right in this case, I commend her.
▪︎This is such a tragic situation that i can feel even MPD Police Chief Cerelyn "CJ" Davis is at pains trying to describe and fathom how it transpired😢 ▪︎Out of this tragedy, "CJ" has humanely shown the world the rare jewel of wisdom, empathy, and leader she is👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. May all the good things that this leader aspires for her people to be, flow her way in abundance.

The fact that there have been so many warnings in regards to the upcoming video footage scares me to death. Prayers for Mr Nichol’s family. My heart breaks for them. The Police Chief has absolutely garnered my respect in her conduct of the horrendous situation. The EMT’s need to be looked into for their failure to provide immediate aide.
EMT's aren't wizards and can't teleport but I don't know if you understand that or not. Also, if you're beaten to a pulp and die 3 days later it's safe to assume no matter the treatment you would probably die from said injuries anyway. Stop trying to throw blame around where it doesn't belong. Stop being so dramatic.
“S.C.O.R.P.I.O.N.” If you tell armed, uniformed, immunity-protected men that they are a deadly _strike_ force (striking, like a scorpion 🦂), they will begin to think and behave as one.
💯+ be federally licensed, so a cop fired for criminal conduct can’t just move to another department! Abuse of the trust a badge should convey & the power a gun conveys, MUST always be met with EQUAL, not less/ nonexistent justice.
@@williamwilson6499 Which taxpayers are on the hook for. Cities pass the cost of crooked/ negligent cops to us. Hospitals pass the cost of crooked/ negligent doctors to us. Maybe both should change?
malpractice insurance does not cover liability that arises from sexual misconduct or criminal acts. And in fact allowing bad cops to pass the financial buck off to an insurer won't elicit a sense of personal responsibility. There will always be another insurer willing to allow a bad cop to purchase coverage albeit at a premium. Money always talks,unfortunately that's the nature of capitalism.
Police Chief Davis, is incredible. She's honest, doesn't hesitated to explain the circumstances, respectful, was open to the reporters questions. Her demeanor was calm. The fact that she fired these officers right away, is a testament to her character. I have so much respect for this lady. My condolences to the family, friends, and other loved ones of Tyre Nichols.

@@TechGuyCanton And you know all of this how? Have you seen the interview of the mother of Tyre speaking with Don Lemon? Have you watched any of the Chief's interviews with reporters, where she said she was horrified? Did you know that these police officers, came from a task force she put together in 2021. You realize Tyre weighed less than 200 pounds, while put together these cops would have weighed close to 1000 pounds. How do you think Tyre got that broken neck, and what is your evidence that HE was the criminal?
It’s still not about black and white it’s about police brutality and inner police gang mentality. Bodycam was meant to stop this. The sad truth is the full length video would’ve never been made available to us if it wasn’t for the house security camera. You can’t hide from the truth when it’s in public hands from the get go. This is sad. Rip. Prayers for all loved ones.
@@richardrose9943 Yeah, that was dumb of the cop to park in the middle of the train tracks. I would have parked before or after not in the middle. I was amazed the woman survived but I can imagine her terror as she saw the train coming.
@@richardrose9943 That was not this! That was two departments on a call. The officer (primary) parked his car on the railway but it was empty. The second different Dept got on scene and after they arrested the woman the OTHER Dept officer walked the woman away while the primary stayed with the vehicle. Unbeknownst to the primary, the other Dept put the woman in his cruiser that was on the rail. Stupid thing to do. They then left her there and walked back to the primary. As the train comes in the primary had no idea the woman was in his car until the other Dept mentioned it but it was to late.
This was the worst brutality I have seen. These men need to be held accountable. How could they have not held him and handcuffed him? This is shameful.
You are asking the wrong question. They had NO REASON to get him out of the car or handcuff him. He asked repeatedly to be informed of why they were detaining him, and they are legally bound to inform him and never did. They had no legal reason whatsoever for anything they did to him.
I said that too. Five men couldn't handcuff one guy. We need to bring back physical requirements. It shouldn't be a gang of cops for one guy who has no weapon. I hope they get life. Every one who was there.
Let's not forget that the police chief sets the tone and behaviour of the entire department....this happened on her watch....she's blaming a lack of supervision!!! She sets the supervision!!! All I'm hearing from her is skilful articulation, avoiding any responsibility by her.
@@Jan-dn6jo Do you know why she was fired from Atlanta PD? Hint, she covered for her husband that was nailing 12 year old girls and they had photo proof. She's garbage.
@@Jan-dn6jo why do you say this foolishness? Clearly this was handled with a speed and decisiveness never seen before. Yet you refuse to give this blk woman credit for that. Clearly she immediately held them accountable distancing this behavior from her own leadership completely and genuinely. I wonder if it were someone else would you see that more clearly. . This team existed and their culture developed long before she joined. I’m so tired of slow people and their remedial opinions.
@dulaney gibson The reason I say this is because after 18 years service in the airforce both as a airman following order's, and as a senior nco latter on there's one thing that is sacred....we follow orders or people die... it's that simple....the bosses order's are always followed... Now.... Either she tacitly agreed with her officers behaviour because this behaviour would have been an extension of her policy towards suspects...... Or..... She knew how this unit typically behavioued but was unable to use sufficient authority to force them to behave appropriately due to lack of respect for her leadership..... Do you see the problem? Either way she's negligent of either being a weak leader where her officers run her department out of control and accountability..... Or... She up until now tacitly agreed with her officers behaviour and now it's public she's covering her behind.... Thats why I said that...
This police chief is A1+ FOR DOING HER JOB BY STANDING UP, SPECKING OUT AND REPREMANDIN HER SUBORDINATES BECAUSE THEY WERE WRONG!!! THANK YOU POLICE CHIEF, BECAUSE OF YOU THIS WAS NOT SWEPT UNDER THE RUG OR DELAYED IN INVESTIGATION. BLESS YOU

I know so little about answers for police brutality, but this Police Chief with her calmness, her willingness to show her heart, has my respect. Hoping that nobody else dies as this is addressed.
The answer is locked up and get kicked off the force just like any regular person the police are nothing special
Yeah I'm at 8:56 and it sounded like her voice almost cracked when she started talking about justice within her scope of authority. Most chiefs just want to be big dog and big honcho. She can wear many hats it seems
She is so articulate and yet so plainspoken and her humanity just shines through this. She's totally down-to-earth, and not trying to obfuscate it all she answers all these tough questions with complete honesty it seems to me. She is covering up absolutely nothing
How about,
don't hire psychopaths.
train them properly.
make it so they can never turn body cams off.
stop employing white.males.
She's the Chief every American wants running their department.
When will people learn, don't resist arrest! You're not going to win that fight, win in court, especially over a misdemeanor. I'm not excusing the beating, just stating the obvious.
Makes me sick to think some, who likely never vote, will use this as an excuse to destroy property. I sure hope if that happens any legitimate protestors photograph the culprits and turn them in. They may be agitators.
Police brutality in America has been going on way too long. Immunity for these folks can never be an option. Power unchecked is reckless endangerment. 🤦🏾♀️

As a 70 yr old white man, I am sickened to see this type of violent abuse to another human being, but this being done by Police, and ones of the same racial ethnicity is beyond my ability to comprehend. These officers acted like a pack of wild dogs. They acted with Gang mentality. How could they mercilessly take turns beating a fellow human being to death? This infuriates me and sickens me. My condolences and sorrow go out to Tyre's mother and family. I'm so sorry for the needless lose of your dear son. May God see to it that these murders are punished appropriately.
This is the culture of the police in america. Nothing new. Wash, rinse & repeat. No matter what the so- called race.
It’s been my experience that black and brown police officers are harder on ppl that look like them because they have to prove to their white counterparts that they are not like black and brown ppl in the community. I’m a black women and have had very few positive interactions with police officers but of those interactions the cops that look like me have been worse.
Very kind words from you sir and may God bless you keep you safe in your glory days Amen ❤️
@@Erin_Bee I travel to Memphis a lot for work and when I’m in a Memphis Proper I do not speed and am very cognitive of my driving as to not draw attention from the policemen there! I’m white and the Memphis Police Department is mostly black officers and a good portion of them look like body builders and they scare me! This video was very hard to watch because 5 grown men certainly could have gotten Tyre under control. The worst thing I’ve seen repeatedly is that when black males are being pulled over they immediately shout their innocence and try to get away and Every time it ends horribly for them! I wish that he had complied and all that would’ve happened is Tyre would’ve had a bad night going to jail but he would have been able to post bail and be out either later that night or the next day and he would’ve been alive! I’ve always taught my kids to be polite and answer yes sir or yes ma’am if pulled over always hold the steering wheel with both hands and to comply to everything the officers ask! These officers were in such a rage I don’t know what caused that I would like to see the whole video from the very first of them seeing what caused the 5 police officers to be chasing him.
They have no race and represent the American Gestapo.
Abolish qualified immunity. Pay settlements from their pension fund instead of public tax dollars.

To be a chief you have to move up the ranks you would be a fool to think she is not one of them
She knew the type of sh*t that Dept was doing. She probably put that team together. The way they did this openly meant they weren't worried about the consequences. I'm sure they've been accused of this numerous times. With her being the Chief of Police it's hard for me to believe she's oblivious to why this transpired
Your comment is making me think why were they so bold and and unbothered by the fact they were under a camera and they had body cameras on and they had no self control or care or compassion on how they treated this young man… like I can’t believe this is their 1st incident…and how many more officers are carrying this very horrific behavior…

This police chief previously worked in the Atlanta police department where she overlooked a unit similar to this one. It was called the Red Dog Unit. There were similar issues with it as corruption and abuse ran rampant. After much pressure from citizens, the APD disbanded it.
This Chief has a tainted history and should resign or be terminated. She owns this one.

But POC are dealing with an "Us vs Them" mentality and many officers who will do whatever it takes to ensure their own safety first. We saw that in Uvalde where 400+ officers stood around bc the shooter had 1 gun.
Reduce the number of departments and overhaul policing in the USA . It’s the worst law enforcement system in the developed world
You know why…….
She is unlike any police chief I have ever heard speak. She is not trying to spin anyting she is not trying to cover anything whatsoever. Wow I am so impressed. She is so calm so measured but only in the sense that she is not over talkin she is trying to answer the questions honestly both as a police chief but mostly as a human being
That's not what they want.

When have you ever seen a police chief cooperate and do a full interview like this after an incident like this??? NEVER!!! Most of them will release a short statement or be evasive of these type of questions. She should be applauded for agreeing to take this interview and not run from it.
Amen
Nah, same corrupt police. Just disgusting humans.
You so right about that Drew. I’m so very proud of her. Being her body language even shows while explaining pain and concern for the remainder of us who live in Memphis that we are okay even if we scared to even see a officer or want to fight back negatively she has to make a sensitive judgment. Who thinks about our children and getting them home is all home hopefully home to be in our on space to process our emotions No chief ever thought of our feelings. She is being as poised as she can during this time and I love her for that she on as professional as possible and loving as possible.

Yes applauded… im sure her speech will bring back this poor man’s life… acab. This is damage control, if they had any sympathy they would make sure they arent sending psychopaths onto the street with government funded weapons to “protect the people” ridiculous how many times do cops have to abuse their power for yall to stop acting like they’re heroes
@R S K L she didn't have anything to do with that man's death and there actions. If your kids rob a bank, should we fire you from your job??? She can't control every officer. Will that bring the man back, of course not. But her actions have proven she is trying to ensure they are punished severely. She made the video available QUICKLY, FIRED THEM QUICKLY, and made herself available to the public. Show me another chief who did that??? She is the only 1. She deserves credit for her efforts, not blame for the rogue cops who acted on their own. Don't let the emotion of the moment get you blaming the wrong person.

She saw the situation and the spot she was in and so she made herself look as good as possible.
As the captain of her ship, She shares the responsibility, especially since she allowed officers with numerous complaints of over violent behavior to remain on her force, right ?
To me,
She made it about saving herself and not about the despicable tragedy that happened to Tyre.
She's guilty as well and should be ashamed that she allowed this on her watch.
She's no Hero !
More like an opportunitist.
IMHO
Only because it was caught on video. If this wasn't on video they would've covered it up NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.
Always record the police, it could absolutely save you a lot of misery and even your life.
The senseless brutal beating of Tyre Nichols that lead to his death is beyond incomprehensible, reckless, and disgusting. These five x-officers deserve more than life in prison for their gang-style torturous actions. It is appalling, terrifying, and sickening that we have so many bullies behind badges hiding in police departments all over the country. I can't begin to imagine what the family is going through. My best condolences go to the victim's family and friends, and justice for Tyre Nichols. RIP Tyre Nichols.
You know....how many calls are made dealings with the most resentful character's in the most violent neighborhood's.CONSTANTLY.. it will take the best officer's beyond humane strength to deal with all this up rising.

I pray that if you are even on that situation you’re smart enough to not follow his example. That way you can sit here and tell people they’re blind. I know not following his example has saved my life.
First of all he was cooperative and I'm pretty sure even a blind person would have been able to tell because he clearly stated his willingness to cooperate when he was originally telling them not to be so rough. Second of all I forgot that if one person resists five people that they're allowed to brutalize that person as a large group because they have badges. Police officers are supposed to be trained to handle situations where they are being resisted without resulting to things like brutal gang beatings and unnecessary Force. It's almost like they weren't supposed to use unnecessary Force. It's almost as if they're supposed to receive training for these types of situations. But nevermind according to you resisting arrest means it's okay to be murdered. Who needs the Constitution judge jury executioner is a cop.

I,m a mum myself and l cannot imagine how much pain you are going through all my love and sorrow for you and your precious son from England
I,m?
Absolutely heart Breaking
My heart goes out to the mother. May God gove you peace and you feel your sons arms around you.
I am sure all of them had complaints on file that weren't investigated. all the department has to be investigated.
She does such a great job of responding to the hard questions in a very transparent way. She’s not worried about protecting the department. She wants people to feel satisfied with the transparency, and she knows releasing the video is the only way to get her community on the path to healing and fixing these problems. She’s holding those responsible accountable for their actions. I can’t imagine a better response to such a senseless and tragic incident.
I smell a fake police chief who says she is hurt and emotionally distressed by her officers. Blah Blah Blah if this was not caught on camera this police chief would be protecting her officers as the cops said the "criminal" was reaching for an officers gun. As always a police officer is allowed to tell lies. Thankfully the video forced her to tell the truth and take action. Truly if she cared enough the officers would have been properly trained. It was very evident that these officers thought that they would get away with it. They went home to there families in peace as the criminal was in custody. Sadly Tyrene died days later from from a broken neck and bruises for a traffic stop.
@@TechGuyCanton Shut up the thugs are in jail. She placed street cameras up so everything can be seen.
She is a disgrace
@@Pamledger478 No she’s not!!!
She is EXCELLENT. Now you on the other hand may be the disgrace.
memphis may be setting the blueprint for how to deal with cases like this. we shall see.
@Vote Blue for Democracy And "They" would be wrong.
But this murder happened on her watch! She should take full responsibility for what her staff did!
*I HAVE NEVER! EXPERIENCED A POLICE CHIEF, FOLLOWING AN OBVIOUS BREACH OF POLICE PROTOCOL, EXPLAIN SO VIVIDLY AND TRANSPARENTLY JUST WHAT WENT WRONG IN THEIR POLICE DEPARTMENT ENCOUNTER* I truly hope she does not experience any of that foolish "Thin Blue Line" blow-back. She genuinely seeks to do what is right in this case, I commend her.
She won't, all the main officers involved were black
She's saving face.
Everything flows down from above.
@@pdcamsnews EXACTLY!! SHE"S GOING TO HAVE TO STEP DOWN AFTER THIS!
She is a horrible person.. She is culpable to that man's death. Absolute witch
She is also heart broken.Make prosecutors work easy . Release them to the public
4 of them are already out on bond
▪︎This is such a tragic situation that i can feel even MPD Police Chief Cerelyn "CJ" Davis is at pains trying to describe and fathom how it transpired😢
▪︎Out of this tragedy, "CJ" has humanely shown the world the rare jewel of wisdom, empathy, and leader she is👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. May all the good things that this leader aspires for her people to be, flow her way in abundance.

This was Not a Tragic situation, This was a Deliberate Situation and horrific, and horrible Situation !😭😭😭😭

Respect for the release of the video, brutality needs to stop NOW.
Yes. These were 5 wild, out of control ANIMALS!
Sending prayer's from
Cleveland Ohio and thank you so much chief for honesty condolences to the family
She was too "measured".
My condolences to Mr.Nichols' family and friends. I feel so sad for them. I just couldn't imagine if this was done to my family member 💔
who cares ran
Oh my godses doze powice be wacist
"cant"...
@@ronaldpershing8633 he ran from being beaten. your bigotry is on proud display
The fact that there have been so many warnings in regards to the upcoming video footage scares me to death. Prayers for Mr Nichol’s family. My heart breaks for them. The Police Chief has absolutely garnered my respect in her conduct of the horrendous situation. The EMT’s need to be looked into for their failure to provide immediate aide.
Absolutely I agree
I am too scared to watch it...
EMT's aren't wizards and can't teleport but I don't know if you understand that or not. Also, if you're beaten to a pulp and die 3 days later it's safe to assume no matter the treatment you would probably die from said injuries anyway. Stop trying to throw blame around where it doesn't belong. Stop being so dramatic.
@@Babyluthi too be honest, I wished I hadn’t watched. It was horrific. After watching it, I was left speechless, and ugly crying.
@@Jennifer_Layne Thanks so much for telling me. Sadly we cannot un-see things. I wish your mind peace. Take a nature walk. I promise it really helps.
“S.C.O.R.P.I.O.N.” If you tell armed, uniformed, immunity-protected men that they are a deadly _strike_ force (striking, like a scorpion 🦂), they will begin to think and behave as one.
That's exactly what they did they struck a deadly force
They need to dismantle SCORPION BF THEY STRIKE AGAIN.
Desk jobs for everyone in that unit !
Lies , she needs to be investigated Also!!
Cops, like doctors, should be required to carry malpractice insurance. If you can't get the coverage you don't get the job.
The police do have insurance.
@@williamwilson6499 But not malpractice insurance for individual cops.
💯+ be federally licensed, so a cop fired for criminal conduct can’t just move to another department! Abuse of the trust a badge should convey & the power a gun conveys, MUST always be met with EQUAL, not less/ nonexistent justice.
@@williamwilson6499 Which taxpayers are on the hook for. Cities pass the cost of crooked/ negligent cops to us. Hospitals pass the cost of crooked/ negligent doctors to us. Maybe both should change?
malpractice insurance does not cover liability that arises from sexual misconduct or criminal acts. And in fact allowing bad cops to pass the financial buck off to an insurer won't elicit a sense of personal responsibility. There will always be another insurer willing to allow a bad cop to purchase coverage albeit at a premium. Money always talks,unfortunately that's the nature of capitalism.
To watch that on your own child WTH 🤦🏽♀️ Y’ALL REALLY NO MATTER WHAT COLOR YOU ARE DANG NO MOTHER SHOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS NEVER 👎🏾
@@scabcrawler632 stop your spam...
Police Chief Davis, is incredible. She's honest, doesn't hesitated to explain the circumstances, respectful, was open to the reporters questions. Her demeanor was calm. The fact that she fired these officers right away, is a testament to her character. I have so much respect for this lady. My condolences to the family, friends, and other loved ones of Tyre Nichols.

@@TechGuyCanton And you know all of this how? Have you seen the interview of the mother of Tyre speaking with Don Lemon? Have you watched any of the Chief's interviews with reporters, where she said she was horrified? Did you know that these police officers, came from a task force she put together in 2021. You realize Tyre weighed less than 200 pounds, while put together these cops would have weighed close to 1000 pounds. How do you think Tyre got that broken neck, and what is your evidence that HE was the criminal?
It’s still not about black and white it’s about police brutality and inner police gang mentality.
Bodycam was meant to stop this. The sad truth is the full length video would’ve never been made available to us if it wasn’t for the house security camera. You can’t hide from the truth when it’s in public hands from the get go. This is sad. Rip. Prayers for all loved ones.
This, after SCOTUS declares that police do NOT have a mandated duty of care.
Despicable.
Not to long ago they let a woman handcuffed in a patrol car get hit by a train nothing happened to the officers
@@richardrose9943 Yeah, that was dumb of the cop to park in the middle of the train tracks. I would have parked before or after not in the middle. I was amazed the woman survived but I can imagine her terror as she saw the train coming.
SCOTUS only rules what is law, not what is right. If you want the law changed, you must take issue with the legislature(s).
@@uncleted9362 if you think SCOTUS isn't influenced by politics or religion then you are kidding yourself
@@richardrose9943 That was not this! That was two departments on a call. The officer (primary) parked his car on the railway but it was empty. The second different Dept got on scene and after they arrested the woman the OTHER Dept officer walked the woman away while the primary stayed with the vehicle. Unbeknownst to the primary, the other Dept put the woman in his cruiser that was on the rail. Stupid thing to do. They then left her there and walked back to the primary. As the train comes in the primary had no idea the woman was in his car until the other Dept mentioned it but it was to late.
This was the worst brutality I have seen. These men need to be held accountable. How could they have not held him and handcuffed him? This is shameful.
Many more like it, but no video footage
You are asking the wrong question. They had NO REASON to get him out of the car or handcuff him. He asked repeatedly to be informed of why they were detaining him, and they are legally bound to inform him and never did. They had no legal reason whatsoever for anything they did to him.
He was handcuffed and they kept hitting him
I said that too. Five men couldn't handcuff one guy. We need to bring back physical requirements. It shouldn't be a gang of cops for one guy who has no weapon. I hope they get life. Every one who was there.
This police Chief is amazing! So transparent, such heart and compassion. She truly cares and wants justice for the family. A true leader.
Let's not forget that the police chief sets the tone and behaviour of the entire department....this happened on her watch....she's blaming a lack of supervision!!! She sets the supervision!!! All I'm hearing from her is skilful articulation, avoiding any responsibility by her.
She is just playing the game! She is good at it for sure!
@@Jan-dn6jo Do you know why she was fired from Atlanta PD? Hint, she covered for her husband that was nailing 12 year old girls and they had photo proof. She's garbage.
@@Jan-dn6jo why do you say this foolishness? Clearly this was handled with a speed and decisiveness never seen before. Yet you refuse to give this blk woman credit for that. Clearly she immediately held them accountable distancing this behavior from her own leadership completely and genuinely.
I wonder if it were someone else would you see that more clearly. .
This team existed and their culture developed long before she joined. I’m so tired of slow people and their remedial opinions.
@dulaney gibson The reason I say this is because after 18 years service in the airforce both as a airman following order's, and as a senior nco latter on there's one thing that is sacred....we follow orders or people die... it's that simple....the bosses order's are always followed...
Now....
Either she tacitly agreed with her officers behaviour because this behaviour would have been an extension of her policy towards suspects......
Or.....
She knew how this unit typically behavioued but was unable to use sufficient authority to force them to behave appropriately due to lack of respect for her leadership.....
Do you see the problem?
Either way she's negligent of either being a weak leader where her officers run her department out of control and accountability.....
Or...
She up until now tacitly agreed with her officers behaviour and now it's public she's covering her behind....
Thats why I said that...
Much respect to this police chief. She is handling this horrific situation as best as she can. She definitely has my respect.
This police chief is A1+ FOR DOING HER JOB BY STANDING UP, SPECKING OUT AND REPREMANDIN HER SUBORDINATES BECAUSE THEY WERE WRONG!!! THANK YOU POLICE CHIEF, BECAUSE OF YOU THIS WAS NOT SWEPT UNDER THE RUG OR DELAYED IN INVESTIGATION. BLESS YOU
The key words are they are prepared to "monitor" different "groups" while they may "exercise their 1st amendment rights." It's the COINTELPRO for the 21st century all over again. And that's even came out from a soft spoken chief officer.
