For a long time, police could break almost any law and get away with it. Bad people noticed and started becoming police officers specifically to get away with their crimes.

Imagine if Tyrone would have just complied. Teach your kids to respect the law and not do drugs. The Cops were wrong.

Protests are always appropriate; please, no violence and no looting.

'It doesn't matter if the officer's a Black officer, a Hispanic officer or a white officer. It definitely did a few months ago. trying to rewrite itself.

Well, yeah, I guess they need to blame the system for this one bc they certainly don't want to blame the specific officers involved in this incident. Their race doesn't fit the liberal narrative.

The militarization approach to policing in the U.S. has yielded violent and aggressive officers of the 'peace'. Not like that in a lot of other countries. But with that culture so entrenched. I couldn't begin to see how it could be changed.

Stop exploiting this. It’s just a distraction from what the Pfizer footage veritas released

Why? The men who did this were fired and charged with murder.

Who is Tyre Nichols ? 5 Facts You Didn’t know about Him

Good

Teach your children to obey lawful orders

Protesting the justice system working properly?

Memphis is showing us that the lack of respect for Black life is not a Black or White problem. It's an American problem ! Memphis YouPeople PoliceReform

Good thing it was black cops. Will be non-story in few days.

So NYC, Memphis, and Boston. 3 cities. Numerous. Come on guys! Really?

After Floyd, nothing has changed in America. 'Democracy' doesn't make the country better.

quiet in Florida

The Pfizer Executive [caught on tape by Project Veritas] is the 3rd most powerful executive behind Albert Bourla “Jordan Walker is very well-educated, he is just two removed from the CEO of Pfizer, Albert Bourla…”

Calling all rich white kids, time to play antifa and cause some destruction in minority communities all in the name of 'justice'

This isn't true. There are NOT widespread protests going on across the country. This is blatant misinformation.

Arrest all these insurrectionists.

Odd because black cops killed a black man and they were charged. Rotten culture, unfortunately.

Who killed him?

Tyre Nichols death: Memphis Police Department releases video of Nichols’ arrestFive officers fired last week from the Memphis Police Department face murder and other charges in the death earlier this month of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols, jail records show. Wrong is wrong no matter the race. I am so disappointed. What the heck were they thinking 😔 What goes through people's minds, to think this is ok? This is what we hear gangs doing. Black cops is what we need, there’s no need to fire them and charge them all with murder. They made a mistake bruh but we need their diversity anyways so why not just keep ‘em 👍

DOJ warns against protests turning violent ahead of Tyre Nichols footage releaseThe DOJ is callings for peaceful protests in response to police video that will be released today of the traffic stop that led to 29-year-old Tyre Nichols being killed. How about DOJ warn the cops at the protests to be peaceful? Seems that they are the ones with the demonstrated propensity to violence. Why doesnt DOJ issue warnings to LE about unnecessary use of lethal force? Why is it always the victims and families who are told to calm down? So was that beating to distract from what is really going on? How long were those guys cops? Anyone know?
