This is video of Tyre Nichols skateboarding, as released by his family: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_hZGVI2U-4

None of the traffic cameras showed him swerving or driving aggressively. He was coming back home to his mom's house after taking pictures of the sunset. He liked Starbucks.

Two cops held his arms back while their colleagues were punching him in the face, yelling "show me your hands! show me your hands!" and "stop resisting!" ... captured for the audio, but only before someone noticed the overhead camera.[/quote]

I don't want this to get lost. He was some 80 yards from his mother's house, crying out for her. There is no evidence for any reason to pull him over. [/quote]

This latter assertion is a red herring. The standard for a lawful police stop is mere “reasonable suspicion,” a preposterously low bar that permits even pretextual stops in many instances. Further, fleeing and eluding the police is itself a “high and aggravated misdemeanor” in Georgia.

Whatever the merits of the charges in this case, the authorities do nothing but weaken their position by grabbing at straws for something else like this to add. [/quote]
