Tyre Nichols live updates: SCORPION Unit 'permanently deactivated' after Nichols' deathThe Memphis Police Department has deactivated its SCORPION Unit, the task force at the center of Tyre Nichols' death, the department said. Sounds like they understand that abolishing police works when they are all rotten to the core White men you better pay attention if you own a business in this country, cities will only be trampled when filthy white cops beat a man to death or a conservative president is elected. This proves it, better wake up, never rest. Interesting, task force which committed heinous crime of murder. All taking part in killing one man.

Tyre Nichols’s family attorneys question white officer’s discipline after Nichols’s deathThe other five officers, who are all Black, have been fired and charged with second-degree murder among other offenses, which has raised more questions for the department about their transparency and alludes to the possible racial dynamics in this case. Is Hemphill transgender? Asking for a friend. Culture is a big part of the problem. If you just point the finger at the police, then you are half wrong. From my experience, many young people and especially black males have a hard time complying with police, who are human. If someone doesnt listen to you, then what do you do?

How about what needs to change with the community to ensure incidents like this don't happen in the first place? Minneapolis is not doing great. Maybe he should address that first WillieGeist …the “reform” & change that’s needed it’s not just at this level of injustice, this horrific injustice & violence, but it’s needed for everything that leads up to it because too many LEO’s are getting away w/covering up domestic violence, child abuse, harassment and intimidation

Randall Woodfin calls Tyre Nichols police bodycam video ‘chilling’“The video of the killing of Tyre Nichols is chilling. It’s a blatant, horrifying display of the evils of police brutality,” the mayor tweeted shortly after the video was released Friday. “This vicious cruelty must not be our norm.' Just like the deadly shootings in Birmingham. Where are the protest? You are correct, Mayor Randall Woodfin. God bless you for that truthful comment as Mayor of Historic Birmingham, Alabama, a city that changed the South, the Nation, and the WORLD: (googledotcom) Vicious cruelty is the norm for policing.
