In-depth text transcription of the video(s).
Not linking the videos themselves ITT, can easily be found elsewhere.
Officers were fired and charged and arrested very quickly, faster than any other known police brutality incident that i’ve heard of, for obvious reasons.
Three out of the four officers involved have posted bond.
It is as bad as everyone said it would be, and I can now see why every law enforcement agency in the country took urgent pre-emptive measures in order to “soothe” public response.

Because the cops are black
In what way?
From my perspective I’m seeing a much more forceful condemnation of the officers in this case than probably any other case
That could be because the video is just that bad, I’m not sure. Or stances on the topic have evolved?

Half of the story is the death of this man and the other half is how fast these cops were charged and the lack of support from the Police union, look at the entire video and let me know how this would've been diff had all five cops been white.

These f***s gonna have a hell of a time once they inside.
