reminder that you really need all of these pieces of evidence because we cannot necessarily trust the audio, the commands that are given to be an accurate, and trying to use diplomatic terms here but an accurate description of what is truly happening to the person in question there, alex. i think that is very important people to keep in mind. this is incredibly analysis for which i thank, you antonio, but, carmen i m curious if you think. this is the kind of thing may have led with such speed to the firing of these five officers, we know the memphis police chief davis. she is having none of it, and she has spoken in ways that suggest that she is personally discussed about this, i m not going to put words in her mouth as she has said things that are pretty damning of what she has seen. what was just described by antonia, does that make sense to you? our police officers now more acutely aware, we may have body cam video, here, we need to
had anything to do with it, i would like to say that it did not, and actually chief davis saw what we all see on the video, the brutality, the savage, really the violence of that video, and she brought charges because they were deserved. now we know that she is a mother. does that have something to play in? it almost certainly could. who doesn t? who has a solo heart watching that video, and feel the emotion. you know antonio, there was something that was said, which is that the intent was good about that scorpion unit, we re all of the officers were a part of, but the result was a failure. do you think it is absolutely necessary for these types of street crimes operation task force, do you think is necessary for them all to be disbanded, or just admit this? i have very strong feelings that these special operation units should be all disbanded. of course they talk about that their function is to stop crime,
to fight for tyree and for all of the other tyree s that could be out there. and so we have the administrative lanes of justice, the civil justice, the criminal justice, the legislative justice, which is so important. we are not going to have, we are not going to stop other tyre s from happening until our voices are heard in washington again, and we get some federal uniformity of reform. we re all the states are acting the same when it comes to policing. i asked one of my guests in the earlier hour about the speed by which the charges were brought, they arrests were made. do you think it was in large part because there has been a culture shift of its own in the memphis police department, there is a woman of color who s the chief of police. not only did chief davis do the right thing by swiftly terminating those police officers, shelby county did the right thing by actually bringing those charges. whether or not chief davis race
minute. the general consensus around everybody s shock. these people don t quite understand what happened there. you had a non violent case, from what we hear. tyre nichols was reckless driving on the report. chief davis said that he drove on the wrong side of the road. that is not a violent crime. people are not really understanding why he was pulled out of the car. he was not hitting anybody back. there is just some confusion, anger, and rage from everybody about this. julia, tell us about the scorpion unit. i know the line on this unit is that they are tasked with not only addressing violent crime, but also with investigating car thefts. what is the word there in memphis about this practice? talk about what they do day in and day out.
investigation has moved. people are truly grateful. for example, chief davis. they immediately came out and win within the talk to reporters. of these five men were fired. they are now facing second degree murder charges. people know that is not a small thing. that is seen by black communities, not just here in memphis, it is seen everywhere is being unusual. there s also this anger right now. can be done as way, why hasn t always been on this way? why didn t we beg and fight for answers before? are we just going to slide to something else when the next tyre nichols happens? there could be another. if these five officers are trained to behave in this way, it could extend beyond that. those are the conversation that people are having. i think that now they have set a new standard, there is the willingness to come and talk to reporters like me. they are gonna have people demand that is the way business is done going forward.
