So, uh, there's pretty good odds of (pretty damn earned, at this point) riots in memphis in the near future. Haven't looked hard into it yet, but the gist is that a group of cops beat a man, Tyre Nichols, for something like an hour straight, so badly the injuries killed him a day or three later, and the whole thing got caught on tape. Broke a baton on him, one of the cops kicked him hard enough for the cop to start limping, etc. They tortured and functionally killed a man out in the street, basically.
It's kinda' fractally fucked up, because the initial response from the pigs, was, well... on the face of it, and from what I understand of what was understood at the time it happened, it almost looked good... better than the usual reaction, anyway. Five cops were immediately fired, and were put in jail for murder (they're out on bond now, of course). Like, people were thinking, "Hey, this is almost good, right? This is what should happen at a minimum when cops fucking murder someone."
And then a few days later, the video hits the public and we apparently find out there were 10 cops involved (police apparently lied about that out the gate, from what I've picked up), 6 that were physically involved in the murder and four that were egging them on and encouraging it. Half of them were black.
No bonus points for guessing what color skin the five cops immediately fired and jailed had
