How many of us warned society that, when you abuse, harass and make life miserable for good cops, while you radically lower hiring standards to fill the holes they leave, you will get terrible cops in their place? Reap and sow and watch the horrors ensue. The people who run Joe Biden have done the same thing with important positions like federal judges and, those utterly unqualified people will have to hear cases like these.The violence done to Tyre Nichols was horrible, ungodly, out of control. The former cops have been arrested and charged, which is good. That all seems self-evident. So, I asked a question on Twitter that got a lot of people angry. I was referencing the ~7 minute version of the Tyre Nichols video--which Twitter and other platforms have been disappearing!--that shows the cops trying to get Nichols in cuffs. They tried spraying him (a weird decision, since they were bound to spray each other . . . and did), they referenced a taser; they tried to convince him to give them his hands, they tried prying his hands back. I asked: “Precisely what would you have done differently to get him in handcuffs?” No one had a decent answer and that is why I asked, I expected us normal citizens to not know. But, cops have to know how to do that! And, according to the emails from my friends who were and are cops, well-trained, well-intentions, officers of good character do know how to get a man like Tyre Nichols safely in handcuffs. None of my friends could defend the cops who beat Tyre Nichols to death but, in one way or another, they all said we should sadly expect more of this because of what The Party is doing to the profession of policing.
