There is the 10% of the protesters that are there for the peaceful protest....the other 70% to 90% are there to cause issues...be it violence, property damage, theft, anti govt...etc.

I would assume, to stop future behavior, but I don’t actually know. Personally I don’t get protesting for instance in Durham, who has one of the most progressive police forces in the state. But what do I know?

Yeah this is what I mean. I’m 110% for protest and civil disobedience- but not just for the sake of protesting.

I understand everyone’s frustrations. Really on both sides. I think people are sick of watching people get killed by police. I also think people are sick of protestors causing violence. I am both.
This is one of, if not the worst instance I have seen of police brutality.

I was far less skeptical about this possibility prior to hers being the first and only (as of this post) outlet to suggest it.

That just shows your bias.

Yes, I tend to be biased away from initial and sole reporting claims by self-proclaimed prior cartel drug-running QAnon advocates.

Great acronym btw, whole police unit was disbanded. When I read their numbers, it almost sounds like "The Town".
What was the SCORPION unit, the now-deactivated police task force at the center of Tyre Nichols’ death?

I have a friend, former Memphis PD, they have been lowering standards for more then 10 years to achieve the racial profile they want. Per him, lowering standards to allow people convicted of crimes to become cops.
IMO, Citizens of Memphis got what exactly they voted for.
Has the FBI/DoJ Civil Rights Division showed up yet?

I have two words regarding the Memphis incident. Leadership failure.

I think a big part of the problem is Chiefs who are too political, and not leader enough. San Antonio has one.
Stuff is starting to percolate out about hiring practices, and how these cops were hired. Memphis PD Chief came from Atlanta, IIRC, and had personal/personnel issues there.

Scapegoats or released deservedly so?

Memphis Fire Department fires three following Tyre Nichols death
@Muppet
At this point, anyone on scene who jaywalked is getting fired. Right, wrong, or other that's how this will play out. How bad did those three screw up? Would doing their jobs have changed the outcome? Dunno.
When the family is done with inevitable lawsuit they will be part owners of Memphis. I really doubt we've seen the last of the firings and charges being brought.
The "initiate patient care" line is what stands out to me.
That sounds like the Fire EMTs saw Nichols was beat to shit and called for transport, but didn't do attempt to provide care or stabilization on scene.
If that's how the situation played out, then they absolutely got fired for a legit reason.
Need more details, but it sure reads like they just disregarded the patient.
