They all should go to prison just as long as chauvin did. Not one of those cops had the decency or common sense to say STOP? I’m sure they’ll have no problem saying that word in prison. Only then they’ll understand how tyre nichols felt before they murdered him.

Nothing new, the bastards feel untouchable, regardless of the color of their skin. They kill people and they disappear the bodies( with no consequences )We always have to be alert. When the police stop you call a member of your family, and let them know, just in case.

Had the officers been white. They'd still have their jobs.

Disgusting. I don’t know WTF is wrong with some of these officers TyreNichols TyreNicholsVideo

“Led to the death of…” ? They murdered him. They beat him to death for over 3 minutes. Their actions didn’t lead to his death; their actions intentionally caused his premature death. Come on.

Not going to mention the 5 officers are black? Trying to start more outrage?
