Martin took off his body camera at some point and placed it in his unmarked vehicle; Mills and Bean both at one point removed their body cameras and placed them on the trunk of a car; and Smith’s camera was not activated during his initial interaction with Nichols, the documents said.The documents also describe alleged departmental violations, which include excessive force, neglect of duty, truthfulness and personal conduct.

What possible legitimate reason could there be for this behavior? On the surface, it seems like bragging / proud of his work? and those who received it? If they did not IMMEDIATELY report the action then they're essentially complicit. firethemall chargespending

Wow

ACAB

Now *that* is a HIPAA violation

damn wypipo

I read that one of those police officers had a personal beef with his kid. Something about dating his ex-wife and texting pictures. Is there any truth to that? If so, how does that play into this investigation?

Gang members love documenting their crimes these days.

ACAB Forever.

Read: Memphis officer texted photo of Tyre Nichols after beating, state records showOne of the former Memphis police officers charged in connection with Tyre Nichols' death allegedly took photos of the bloodied and beaten driver and sent it to several people, according to newly released state records. 😕 Wtf? This is what happens when your police chief is a quota hire who was fired from her previous police job, and when 65% of the force are convicted felons.
