Tape that s going to be released after 7:00 p.m. eastern time today, comparing to what happened with rodney king. we ll talk about that but listen to what he said. it reminds you of rodney king in many regards, assaulted, battered, punched, kicked, tased, pepper sprayed. it is very troubling when you think about tyre only weighs, at most, 150 pounds, calling for his mother. he yells out to her three times and then you never hear tyre nichols say another word on that video. you see him up against the car, sitting down in handcuffs and you see his body fall to the right. you can see now i m joined live now by the memphis police chief, cj davis thank you for
On the face outrageous conduct and on the part of these defense lawyers to try to demonize tyre at some point during the case. we have seen that in previous tr trials. that is certain. this evening we will all see this video together and see about those comparisons to the horrible beating of rodney king as well. john burris, thanks for coming on. thank you. good to be with you. we ll be right back.
Policing. this is beyond bad policing. this is beyond lack of training or bad training. this was just an inhumane act. to have the police chief of a major city in the united states talk about what happened with rodney king in 1992 and saying it s as bad if not worse i think is remarkable, it is stunning, you know. look, she said there were safety issues as far as releasing everyone everyone has been asking about releasing a videotape and why it is released on a friday night and why so late. she said they were looking out not only for the safety of the officers but for the safety of the community. they wanted the kids to be home safe, out of school. they wanted people to be home safely from work. they wanted people to be as much as possible off the streets and off of the roads and what have you. that is why the videotape is released. so, look, i can t imagine what
Recovered to go back to being king, rodney king that he was before. so these kind of beatings adversely effected him and most damaging way, but it also effected the community as well. because in those days, look, there wasn t this outcry in support of rodney king. the black community was outraged but the vast majority was not because they have never seen this type of beating before. so rodney king was the first time that police could engage in the most brutal kind of conduct imaginable. and some of it was racially motivated because in that tape we could hear during trieal thee was the n-word being said often and we don t have that, i don t believe, in the present case with tyre nichols in as much as all of the officers were black, that doesn t mean they don t use racial slurs but it is a different kind of confrontation when they are black versus those in the rodney king case where three of those were white men and so you have to start reality
