Memphis has a long history as does Tennessee in this behavior .
Not just the officers but their higher ups that condone the conduct.
I can't even imagine the grief and anger the mother must feel. She raised a good son who did nothing wrong, just driving home from work. Those 5 men were just looking for someone to beat, it was disgusting, he was pleading with them, yelling for his mom. Those 5 men do not deserve to live, they were brutal and heartless, definitely not fit to be police officers.

I was thinking about officers that resign to work around any lingering impropriety from their previous position. There needs to be a type of exit review of the resigning officer with a penalty of perjury for the administrator as to the officer's status in the department. That's my first thought about this loophole. It definitely needs to be closed.

Just like Doctors & Lawyers have specific schools to become that profession, there should 100% be specific schools to be a cop! 4 years of school that covers many hours/classes of CONSTITUTIONAL LAW & Laws that they will deal with on an average daily basis. It’s shocking that the average cop has NO IDEA on basic ID LAWS. 95% of cops think because they were called to a scene that this immediately gives them the right to get someone’s ID. I have watched so many videos on KZread that show a cops escalating into violence because the citizen knew their rights and refused to give up their ID. Then when the citizen was on the ground bleeding, other cops would show up and they would all be laughing and justifying the beat down supporting the offending cop. And with the scenario I just wrote about, well the State Attorneys Office will then prosecute the beat up citizens for the trumped up charges the bad cops came up with even though body camera or civilian cameras captured the illegal beat down and arrest because they know if they can somehow get a conviction then the citizen has no recourse in suing the department and city! Tell me that doesn’t scream MALICIOUS PROSECUTION AND RICO! The department of Justice should be filing RICO charges against all party’s involved but they NEVER do. It’s a scam against the people, and that scam is in place to CONTROL US AND TEACH US A LESSON!
The cops wanted attack dogs and knew what they were encouraging. They knew these guys were escalating. No matter what the department does now, they cannot excuse their own negligence in this.
Thank goodness for street cameras. They should be everywhere.

Take away qualified immunity. Make each and every police officer have liability insurance just like a carpenter you know I carry 1 mil liability so a cop should carry minimum 10 mil because they have a gun .bad cops will weed themselves out when they cannot get insurance anymore.

What a horrible incident! It would be worthwhile to know more about the psychology behind dealing with hard core criminals day in and day out over a long period. I imagine that it would be hard to resist becoming cynical about human nature after years in Law Enforcement or as a prison guard, for instance. But why do some manage to avoid the corruption that too often comes with unchecked power, while others in the same position succumb to it: mistreating suspects, family members, or even innocent civilians? Knowing what the red flags are - both situational and behavioral - might help prevent this sort of conduct.

Here’s hoping to get a fair trial, and if convicted, they are incarcerated with some of the people they put behind bars. That way it will be easier for them to make friends. In other words, I hope they get exactly what they deserve, whatever that may be.
Could this have been a case of mistaken identity? Maybe the officers were supposed to be killing someone else ( a snitch, or ?..) and got the wrong guy? Why in the world would they be so vicious to someone not doing anything wrong? Or maybe all 5 are just evil sadists, and think their “scorpion” status gives them free reign? Just horrible, ad I hope they are locked away for rest of their mean lives.

That seems to be the problem. It's the same trial just moved to a federal venue. Not the feds bringing similar charges for a separate trial.
Everyone of these PIGS should be put away for life in Federal prison. They are part of the crime problem in that city. They should all be put in separate prisons too. That way, they'll be at the mercy of the inmates all by themselves.
All cops i know behave like they have a special permit to be jerks.

Good! Glad to hear the FEDS will be prosecuting these rogue cops! What they did & bs stories they told when they thought no one would know is so disgraceful to the badge they hold! They were fired, but still walked away, unlike the victim or his family! It was disgusting watching that footage, and all the police (EMT) not coming to his defence & getting beat to death!
What makes this even more heinous is that this was personal. The man killed was dating the ex of one of the cops in the Scorpion Squad. They went out of their way to target him.

Stop dating cops people!. Best case, you only get hardship, hate, limited vaccabulary and mediocrity. Worst case humiliation, scandal and bankruptcy for your whole family. Its a no win situation.
These guys had better hope they are convicted in federal court. The federal prisons are much better.
I think that this actually also speaks to the fact that this is an about race, it’s about abuse of power and authority, and our police departments are broken all across this country because they lack the sufficient funding to that these people psychologically and we’ve got a bunch of want to be criminals, going into our police forces and conducting a criminality behavior through a badge and we just got a big problem because we’ve got a lot of criminal police officers, with criminal intentions, murderous murderous intentions in our police departments
During the pandemic I watched police brutality in most states from people on the street streaming live on TicToc. Police used to honor an oath to protect and serve but over time they've become militarized and their oath now, it seems to me, is US Against Them, we've become the enemy to too many officers. They used to be professional, neutrally enforcing the law. Now they're very emotional, they get angry and escalate encounters using their power to injure and kill. Until police 'qualified immunity' is altered to make police responsible for their actions random men and women will meet their death at their hands. Tragic, unnecessary death!
What about Memphis police department? They should have some culpability as well. Also, I hope these guy are in custody... I haven't seen anything saying this.
Harry; sidebar: Why if the exclusion of double jeopardy is established precedent here, is there concern in the Fulton County case against, for example Meadows, some pundits have highlighted a risk of double jeopardy, if after attaching jeopardy though the commencement of seating a jury in the state case against him, on appeal it is removed to Federal court? Is it to do with the charged statutes, or something else? Non American, non lawyer, asking for a friend 🤗

The elephant in the room. Anabolic steroids. Can be tested up to 30 days and should be mandatory testing on police in any questionable incident. No one wants to touch this topic. Read that a department is looking into the subject but crickets. This is almost surely to be a major part of the problem with these incidents. Read up on anabolic steroids which are used a lot by cops.

That' is horrific and sickening Harry! I presume the man the police beat to death was black. You didn't say. (Not a criticism. Probably everyone in the US knows about the case.)

I suspected the victim was black because duhh, but surprised that the cops were all black. But as some in the black community and others have been pointing out, black lives don't matter in the hood because most violent deaths there are black on black and that also along with police violence needs to be addressed. Poor communities want police to respond to crime but don't treat everyone there as a criminal suspect.
