Let me get this right, these 5 "officers" were part of an "elite policing unit" called the "scorpions"? Explainer-Tyre Nichols Case: What Is Memphis' Controversial SCORPION Police Unit?
Ya think? What exactly was the training regimen for this "elite" unit? __________________________________ NRA Benefactor I lost all my weapons in a boating, umm, accident. http://www.aufamily.com/forums/ | |||

My experience with "elite" or specialized units is that they require increased supervision, not less, in order to function lawfully and properly. For example, our dope unit often had a prosecutor or prosecutors investigator present with them on operations or raids. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

I imagine that the "Scorpion Team" is soon to be only a memory. | |||

Dang- and they really took out all the stops coming up with that name… Street Crimes Operations to Restore Peace in Our Neighborhoods “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

As an aside, I hate all this acronym stuff, where, rather than creating an acronym from a logical name- NRA, for example- they create a (usually) convoluted name so that they can have a cool acronym, such as SCORPION. | |||

1:1 The taser didn’t work, I’d never met anyone on PCP before, and I was the first cop in town who had…it was the beginning of a long PCP high fights/encounters we had. The King incident in LA was actually a PCP fight-and that’s why it looked so bad with the cops swarming him, baton strikes, back off and give orders, swarm in…rinse repeat… You should read the book Presumed Guilty by Sgt Coon who got arrested-he did explain the how and why what they did. https://www.amazon.com/Presume...Affair/dp/0895265079 but yeah, 1 vs 1 there is a reason as to why deadly force was used vs 5:1 /drift "Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor.” Robert A.

I notice they didn't call their unit Fathers Against Incredibly Radical Imbeciles Every September. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

I have never seen anything like the media frenzy over this. They are bound and determined to make this bigger than George Floyd. Everyone from the President down to my local Governor is supposed to comment. I suppose they figure, the more people they approach, the more chance they have of someone making a statement they can exploit, that doesn't fit the racist cop scenario. Why is my Virginia governor expected to comment on a police incident in another state? The more you see of this coverage, the more obvious, that it's being orchestrated by George Soros types, bent on dividing the races to the detriment of the country. | |||

Yeah, it's becoming increasingly common in all sectors/industries, including politics (as you know): https://sigforum.com/eve/forum...0601935/m/4510002894 | |||

Well, I finally watched it. Or at least until the medics arrived. That was tough to sit through. Let's be frank: If that was six white cops, Memphis would be a smoking pile of rubble right now. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

I agree, especially with someone clearly beaten to a pulp. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

I still haven't seen it and can't find it. Maybe I shouldn't. | |||

Better to enjoy your Saturday evening and seek alternate things to think about. This one's just all bad. ______________________________________________ Carthago delenda est | |||

Did he really just refuse to bend his wrist and allow the cuffs? Holding out until the end? Or was this a target? And what's this crap about "pole cams?" If the street light outside my house is filming me, well there's been a lot of weather and stuff that could damage such things lately. | |||

You can watch with our friend Donut Operator. This was his livestream from last night so his first viewing as well. I think he starts viewing the content around the 6 minute mark.

Where I worked, pole cameras were installed when we began having serious violent crimes in the areas. If you pay attention when you are driving around you might see “trespassing “ signs that empower the local police. Then further down the road you will start seeing cameras-or not. We had a pole at a big intersection that we (police) had the city power guys install it and it looked like a transformer. Several others were inside a mesh box on the pole the same color as transformers. A few locals figured out what they were, even knowing, they began to forget them…consciously.
