    I'm hardly able to figure out what to write here but I feel someone should do it. I just saw the trial start for the 5 men that were seen on camera, beating to death this young man. Oh I can hear it now, allegedly, innocent until proven guilty, yada yada yada, bring it, I don't care what anyone says about this, Tyree did not deserve to be tried and convicted by these so-called "officers" of the law.

    To hear them plead "not guilty" didn't surprised me as much as it made me want to throw-up:( The thought of them even having a "right" to claim they are not guilty is horribly wrong when there was witnesses and so much camera footage.

    As you'll see/hear in the video if you care to watch, is that the defense of these police-officers (man that is hard to call them that because I have so much respect for our men and women in blue:( ) plan to probably try to prove they didn't intend to do it for one thing. I've wondered what the hell drugs those cops were on and it's the most horrific encounter of police and a citizen I've ever seen.

    This video doesn't show the footage of the attack on Tyree, and I still haven't found out why he was even stopped. Input is welcome, I need all the help I can get to understand why :(

    Just like anyone else, they have the right to plead "not guilty" and have a Defense. The only way anyone is going to know what really happened is to have been there, right on the scene. Way to many people take iPhone videos, but don't get the entire story, from "the encounter" to "the end".

    As for myself, whatever a Court of Law decides, I will accept. Things have to be proven and the general public can't do that.

    Just an opinion here but ..... there has to be more to this story than we have been told so far .

    I mean five black cops pull a young black motorist from his car , on an otherwise quiet street .... and beat him to death .... for erratic driving ??

    I mean if it were cross racial, in either direction, I might say well ... racially motivated perhaps ?

    But this just makes no sence !

    I am sure we aren't being told more Ron, you are right on, it doesn't make sense to me either. I remember hearing those were fairly new recruits, but did they even have their backgrounds checked before being hired?? I can't believe men, or women that do something like that in our police force have not had prior incidents. This whole "defund the police" thing, and those that or for throwing out the baby with the bathwater. And worse, those behind biden want "our" guns taken away.

    Some people laugh when folks like me relate this to Hitler and his cronies rising up and killing how many millions of people?? They say "oh that will never happen in America" yeah, and 9/11 really didn't happen, and that came from within, probably years of planning.

    Has anyone at all heard news on these so-called police officers and when they'll stand trial??

    It sickens me that something this horrific happens and then we hear nothing at all, and I suppose that's because it will take forever to bring them to trial since this government is so focused on President Trump, or concocting fictitious info for biden's teleprompter telling how much he's done for America :confused::mad:

    I was just thinking about that yesterday; it seems the news media has gone silent since they can't push the "racist" agenda with this crime.

    I still don't know why he was stopped in the first place, and I'll bet there are a lot of us asking questions about this one :( I just can't make any sense of it and it pisses me off that someone isn't informing us of what is going on. Worst of all, his loved ones that are suffering the loss of their son and his friends :(
