You may not have heard much about this incident .
A young black man , brutally beaten to death in the US , for nothing, by 5 police officers.
You might be wondering where the riots and BLM protests are ?
Until you realise that low media coverage and outrage are limited by the police officers ethnicity.

The local community where the victim lived are saying this wasn't an isolated incident. The police officers have been beating up poor black men routinely for a long time. They obviously got a power kick from the beatings they handed out.

It can still be considered racist even though the police officers were also black because the victim was almost certainly chosen for a beating by his colour, age and being in a poor neighbourhood 

If they hadn't gone too far and killed him they never would have heard any more about it. The victim wouldn't have the money to sue the police and nobody would have believed him if he complained.  Anyway who would he complain to  ?

Black on black does not seem to be a problem?

Don't google "black on black".... you will get the shock of your life!

Police officers in the US have had a bad rap for a long time as the racism card was such an easy one to play. Really wouldn't want to see this swept under the carpet just because of the officers skin colour.

I heard that this group of officers belong to a special group called scorpion that go into gang related areas  they got the right to stop and search for guns 

by all accounts they do whatever they like without consequences but went to far this time how true i don't know

So the fact that he tried to run away is irrelevant then  ?

So the fact they caught him and had him detained then proceded to beat him to death has gone over your head?
Or should police now routinley beat to death anyone who runs from them and gets caught?

Police initially said that Nichols fled on foot during a traffic stop for reckless driving and that a “confrontation” occurred when the officers tried to detain him.

However, Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn “C.J.” Davis told MSNBC Friday that an investigation and review of available camera footage could not “substantiate” the reckless driving claim.

It looks very relevant now

regardless  as to what happened............everything appears to be very calm.....if it was different ...there would be total world wide unrest with lewis hamilton laying prostate in the middle of the road, instead of taking the knee

This is something no-one wants to see 😲😂
