Bad cop, good cop stories, III

[jthomas666]

I've not kept up closely with this trial but I believe these three didn't actually beat Nichols, but rather didn't stop the two who were actually beating him. The two who beat / kicked him to death have already pled guilty to federal and state charges.

I read an attorney's description of the charges and he said the bodycam footage proved them not guilty based on the jury's instructions, some of which were:



Not defending anyone here, just posting what I've been reading.

To be 100% clear, Tyre Nichols was murdered and didn't deserve the way he was treated.

That makes sense to a point, but it's hard to imagine how they weren't guilty on that last charge--An acquittal there basically means that police are under no legal obligation to enforce the law.

The Metropolitan Police Department confirmed Michael Pulliam was placed on paid administrative leave in mid-May. That happened just a week after Pulliam filed an equal employment opportunity complaint against an assistant chief and the police union accused the department of deliberately falsifying crime data, according to three law enforcement sources familiar with the complaint.

The union claims police supervisors in the department manipulate crime data to make it appear violent crime has fallen considerably compared to last year.

Famed Tennessee sheriff who inspired Hollywood movie killed his wife in 1967, investigators say - CBS News

Authorities acknowledged that the finding will likely shock many who grew up as fans of Buford Pusser and watched 1973's "Walking Tall," which immortalized him as a tough but fair sheriff with zero tolerance for crime. The movie was remade in 2004, and many officers joined law enforcement because of his story, according to Mark Davidson, the district attorney for Tennessee's 25th judicial district.

There is enough evidence that if Pusser, the McNairy County sheriff who died in a car crash seven years after his wife's death, were alive today, prosecutors would present an indictment to a grand jury for the killing of Pauline Mullins Pusser, Davidson said. Investigators also uncovered signs that she suffered from domestic violence.
