I mean this in a completely non-judgmental way, but it’s as simple as exercising self control and not watching it. I think it’s important to ask ourselves why we want to see it. If the answer is anything remotely close to watching out of morbid curiosity, then I think we should give Tyre respect and treat him with the dignity that the cops denied him by avoiding the video.
Your response implies that you have no choice in the manner other than to consume a viral piece of media, and I find that disheartening. Personally, I think the brutal description is enough. Where the situation murkier, watching to make an informed decision on the matter is one thing, but I think we need to be discerning in the media we consume if all we’re looking for is a thrill and to be outraged.

And 53 years later we still don't have it.

Fujiya is fantastic! If you haven't been, Yuzu Kitchen downtown is also great in my experience.

Turns out it was a hoax intended to go viral, which it did. Everybody thinks they're an "influencer."

It's family owned and they close early a lot of times. It sounds like either they are having a reserved party or you are going to the wrong door.

There are 2 entrances to this place, did you try going in the side door? I don't know why they would lock either doors, but just a thought.

I got pulled over on 279 a few weeks ago. I was heading to work and going with the flow of traffic (there were 2 cars in front of me safely spaced out).
Some guy comes speeding up on me, getting real close, and turning on high beams. It goes on for about 3 miles so I got out of the passing to get away from him. He follows me into the right lane so I sped up to pass the car that was in front of me and get out of his way again.
As soon as I sped up a bit, he hit his lights and pulled me over for speeding. It was a cop the entire time.

No. They are one of the notorious ones for fighting. You’re never getting it dismissed but your lawyer may have a shot to get it lowered.

I want to (avoid it). But in my heart of hearts I know I won't. And I don't know what that means.

Had a few guns pointed at me in my lifetime. I think I have better bowel control when faced by someone with a gun than a lot of people have while they're pointing a gun.

Watching it can seriously not make me think any less of police than I already do. I'll be avoiding that one. RIP.

Does anyone else find it disturbing that so many people (including myself) are sitting around waiting to watch a man being beaten to death by 5 policemen? Like a goddamn movie premiere. I wonder what effects experiencing this collective trauma has on us as a populace. It's a weird, sad, day.

All were good, the food was the best at Alta Via, but the view couldn't be beat at Altius.

Didn't know that! Makes sense. Always seemed like a cluster fuck when I was in there.

Thanks. In this county I would think the constant movement isn't as advantageous due to the broken assessments system though Cranberry and Cecil may not be as affected.
