sean, back to you. all right, steve harrigan inin memphis tonight, also on the ground live in memphis as well. fox news political analyst channel caldwell and g.a., by the way, i understand that gi you got a chance to speaknd yout with benjamin crum a cp earlierh today, the attorney, and he s been outspoken on this case. ths i see a lot of people surrounding yolou. ople there what is the general consensus of people there on the ground?? what wastatement the statement crump gave you and even your own thoughts? umon what happened with the have protests here have been rather peaceful, which is a sign of relief for the folks that live n in the city. when me and my team first ar riarrived myth this we look through the area, we drove around. we didn t see any people on the street, just very fewvery pockets of protesters. so few i m sure people at this e are very happy. earlier, i spoke with benjamincrump, crump, the family attorney for o the nichols family. fo also the family attorney for
control, out of control.t of you disobey police policy.t jusl you don t just roll up on a like t car like that. you don t knowhat. what the suspectly have. could possibly have. yo you put yourself at risku pu atn and then you slaughtered the suspect. not usinted to spray eac with the spray because you re not using it the right way. way.use your taser the wrong way. you use your batons, the wronge way.su you didn t restrain the suspect. the right way. i mean, that s just basic police protocol. and then i just can t get past h the fact that you held the suspect up and beat them. you took turns. you you use your baton iused yn theg way. and then i just can t help but be annoyed by the fact that they fist bumped at the in so that were many layers to this basic police protocol.this .was broken right here. they were on a power trip and he didn t have to die that night. he was crying out for his mom.
groundhting for his life, they fail to render aidative duy and they have an affirmative duty to do that. and by t the way, where was the sense of urgency when the medics finally, belatedly arrived it as if they just didn t care either. i understand they ve been suspect. d fa perhaps they should face some criminal charges as well. crso this is a horrific case.c e but the second degree murder charges are absolutely 100% merited. and i agree. i agree that one thing i might have a slight disagreement with , again, this was an elite group within the memphis police isdepartment and by my thinking is that if you are trained, you are trained to expect a moment like this. u where where somebody is eithee agitated, alarmed, resisont resg freaking out a little bit,
and i find it almost spectacularly unbelievable to me that five trained officers, obviously lacking in a lot of training, thaty can they can t cuff one young man and they can t get controlt cuff situation. and they all let the seemingly all of them, most them anyway,tm let the tempers get the better - of them. aney took it. soaperywayers get personally, n. there was no attempt to diffuse the situation in any way, which i believe easily could havesily been done. there was even simpl cld have j, one on one maneuvers could have enabled the police to to easily. cuff this guy. but none of them seem to have any of that training at all. the only training that th they seem to be, they only seeee to be trained to be angry. ai and i m not sure where the anger came from. whethey re always going to bepe people during an arrest that dtt
and apparently they didn t value their own life the way r ow they showed up to thego upo scene. you don t go up to a a car that way. that s basict police one on polc one . and look, i agre101.e with my ta colleagues that training is anin issue within some of the policec departments right now, especially when it comesially we numbers that we have right now. but let s not be confused. these gentlemen were a part ofit an elite unit, the scorpions, okay, that is equivalent to newt york city s anticrim te unit. it takes grit to be on there.i s okay, i understandtand the job t they have to do, which is why they should have had the proper training to conduct that stop.t, and they didn t do it the right way. it was selfish on multipleit was levels to the cops deservehe riw that. do the job the right way. buayt it s also if we want to , since people want to put rason in this sun . every black man knows about the talk that our father gives us . what you re supposed to do wheny
