"Nichols' family members and their lawyers said the footage shows officers savagely beating the 29-year-old FedEx worker for three minutes in an assault that the legal team likened to the infamous 1991 police beating of Los Angeles motorist Rodney King."

The devil went down to Georgia, he was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said, "boy, let me tell you what"
"I guess you didn't know it but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you"
The boy said, "my name's Johnny and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been"
Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Georgia, and the devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul
The devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show"
And fire flew from his fingertips as he rosined up his bow
And he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made a evil hiss
Then a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this
When the devil finished, Johnny said, "well, you're pretty good, ol' son
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done"
"Fire on the Mountain" run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough
Granny, does your dog bite? No, child, no
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been"
He played "Fire on the Mountain" run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
The chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough
Granny, will your dog bite? No child, no

This occurred in Memphis, Tennessee.

Not Atlanta, Georgia.

CNN:

Talking about the horrific beating of a man at a traffic stop.

FOX:

Showing crowds in the street, while desperately hoping riots break out.

:facepalm:

It would be a riot if they were white cops but because they were black there won't be. Just proves there are bad black cops as well. When the news wants make it all black and white.

There aren't any riots because they immediately fired and charged the officers.

That is your opinion which you are entitled to, if they were white Sharpton and others would be inciting a riot!!!

That is your opinion which you are entitled to, if they were white Sharpton and others would be inciting a riot!!!

And that's your opinion. If Sharpton wanted to incite a riot, all he'd have to do, is say, "white officers would never have been fired that fast."

That wouldn't do it in my opinion. Is he visiting there saying how they need to be held accountable?

 

[eeeerock]

Probably not because the cops were black, the reality is all who wear a badge and do wrong need to be held accountable, whether the cop or the victim is black or white shouldn't matter, but I know it does because America is messed up and wants to create divide despite what we say... Never going to convince both sides to see it even nearly the same because it is easier to blame.

One side is calling for reform and one side is saying to back the blue. Based on your post, which side you on? opcorn2
