    I saw this, extremely disturbing. Hopefully each and everyone gets life without parole. Sadly, I don't put much faith in the 'justice' system these days.

      Congrats to the police force holding offending officers accountable. Perhaps the protests are finally making a difference. I do have to be a bit skeptical though, and think that perhaps the officers being black was part of what contributed to the police higher-ups and police unions being so quick to give them up.

      Of course, what might really make the most difference is not relying on individual police groups to hold themselves accountable (hence getting good accountability in some cities like this but zero accountability in others as police refused to take any action against fellow officers), but rather have a nationwide 3rd party that investigated complaints about police (e.g. automatic referral to a branch of the FBI or similar).

        A lot of cops are grown schoolyard bullies. And as such, they're too stupid to realize they might kill those they brutalize and torment.

        Life in prison.

          The article says:

          "The officers each face charges of second-degree murder, aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression."

          and

          "Second-degree murder is punishable by 15 to 60 years in prison under Tennessee law."

          Not sure about the possible sentences for the other crimes.

            Unfortunate. They should have been charged with more.

              For the sarcastically impaired the following is said in jest

              So, any truth to the rumor that their lawyers are seeking a change of venue to a Democrat stronghold where they might get released without bail and the DA reduces the charges to trespassing?



              In all seriousness, these cops should never see freedom again.

              I'm always still in trouble again

                  I'm confused - I only catch bits of this as I pass by the TV or radio --- in some stories it says that all 5 were charged with murder, but I also heard that 4 were charged with murder.

                  And, yes, I see absolutely no reason not to lock these guys up for the rest of their lives.
                  The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      It is reasonable to ask the question - would they have been so swift to convict if the policemen were white. I would not be surprised if there are not similar circumstances where the policemen where white and they were not punished or only minimally punished. And if there are, I would expect that will come to light.

                      This issue is incredibly difficult. Because crime IS higher in predominantly black neighborhoods, Because systemic racism has increased the oppression of black people, Because there is bias in some police, because there is abuse by some police, because police are generally less safe and more likely to suffer great harm in those predominantly black neighborhoods where cime is high and gangs are rampant, because the justice system itself shows intrinsic bias against black people.

                      IT is extremely difficult because this is an issue with multiple sides and situations on both sides where they are wrong, and they are right. And to solve the problem requires all sides chose to be honest and work towards solutions that are fair to all sides.

                      My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

                      If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

                      This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                        Wasn't there such an incident involving white officers not so long since? But these blokes had their own body cams blow the whistle. I'm not sure that has a precedent.

                          I don't know. It would need to be in the same town I suppose. Each municipality has its own issues and it's own record wrt potential bias. The larger issue is that when these issues go public, there is a large population of black people that see similar things day after day, week after week, and when they see these things on this level, it is just proof of how unjust police are to them. And there is a lot of anger there.

                            False on both counts... Or ask yourself why we didn't see the kind of murder rate in poor back communities in the 40s, 50s and early 60s that we see now. When injustice was much worse?

                              This seems so incredibly out of touch with reality --- can you even IMAGINE a situation were 5 white cops beat up a black guy, and the media does not explode in constant reporting, "mostly peaceful" protests breaking out all over the place, and the press all over the trial demanding 'justice'?
