What about those who caused these men to be hired as policemen even though it was known that they were unfit? Do they not share in the blame for this travesty?
Sure. They share in the blame. My point was that I don't blame the victim.

To my knowledge, the only crime the victim committed was a simple traffic infraction

The officers are charged with aggravated kidnapping and second-degree murder.
That's enough for them to spend the rest of their life in prison
Would that be justice to you?

Well in my opinion Justice would be hanging them from the courthouse lawn but spending the rest of their lives in prison is the best Tennessee can do
I agree with you but eventually God will sort everything out and judge people Accordingly.
There are many painful tragedies that happen daily which don’t get media coverage, the most painful ones are involving children.

Ok...
Would it be so surprising that the very ones screaming the loudest about how this is racism are the very ones who caused these officers to be hired...and said they would declare discrimination if they weren't hired?

These "people" caused this situation and now are screaming about the natural consequences for the situation they caused?

Kinda disingenuous in my opinion.

You'll get no argument from me. The changes demanded by BLM may well be responsible.

I share your outrage at what has happened and do not in any way blame anyone but the police.
Did you watch the video of his murder?

I was thinking, there but for the grace of God could be me or anyone.
I cried when he began to scream for his mom.

One of his attackers was a convicted felon.

Now Whoopie Goldberg has put her feet in her mouth yet again, she's not just a one foot vocal offender, as she said maybe if white people start getting beaten by police something will change.

How can they scream racism when Tyre was a black man and his murderers were too?

What can I say. Some people can spin even a broken top.

It's all about Ground Hog Day...

Can we roast and eat the beast after it gives its prophecy?
There's not enough meat tenderizer in the world....

Ecuador would disagree with that assessment....
It's the national dish to eat on Easter Sunday.

The left is trying to spin a narrative that these cops were indoctrinated into an anti-black culture but I think it's just more of a problem of cops who think they're above the law
