Who?

Sadly, Crump and Sharpton don't appear to be the leaders of black communities! Crump is getting rich on chasing police videos and all Sharpton appears to want power and being famous! What have either of them really done! We need a MLK individual in this country!

E n d Q u a l i f i e d I m m u n i t y

One of my lifelong friends was a cop and Detective with a big heart. Sometimes it's hard to wrap my mind around shit like this. We need change now. Heartbreaking.

Black folks don't look happy that Black police officers also murder ,why you all acting surprised

Antifa is ready to start the riots! The liberal media should report why so much contact between police/blacks? We know why! The crime news shows us why! Let's fix that problem! Sad to see cops attacked for a few bad cops; and blacks beaten by bad cops!

That’s a big blow to the police department.

Can’t wait to watch

Were the Five police officers Black

Just release it, no need to edit

The city has to pay. literally. We need to turn up like we did for George Floyd, and literally tear the city up. lootseason

Riots incoming

What about those who died but no video? Justice served in such cases?

From what I heard let the people clean their town with gods holy fire

Just in time to make the evening news...

Tyre Nichols body cam video to be released as Memphis police admit failingsPolice chief Cerelyn Davis said she expected people 'to feel outrage in the disregard of basic human rights' when they watched the footage. There will be riots because they use this as an excuse to steal sneakers and burn whatever they want with no consequences. It’s like a Black Friday sale without actually paying for anything. Then again, stealing Nike’s makes things better. You can run faster.
