Five Black Memphis Tn. Police Officers Alleged To Have Beat Black Motorist For Reckless Driving

[Ruthanne]

He was a victim of generalization meaning they did not see him as an individual but rather one of a high crime rate. In other words they were prejudice or in now a days terms racist. Yes blacks can be that way too. All races can discriminate against their own kind. Tell you haven't seen examples!!

Yes the cops were black but maybe they have a stereotyping among their own same color. That's what racism is and blacks can do that too surprisingly. I don't know the exact reasons why they killed him BUT I HAVE A RIGHT TO SPECULATE

why are you shouting Ruthanne ?

...but the Cops were themselves Black!!

Because whatever toxic mentality police officer culture creates in people is not just from racism. Or could be the racism in cop culture made even other blacks view blacks the way racist white cops do. Like the black slaves that were helping the slave masters keep control of the other slaves. Like the Stockholm Syndrome. Stockholm syndrome is a coping mechanism to a captive or abusive situation. People develop positive feelings toward their captors or abusers over time.

Recently reported: The officers took photos of the dying Nichols & proudly shared them with other officers.
Reminds me of the Sheriff's deputies who shared gruesome photos of body parts from Kobe Bryant's helicopter crash.
