Thousands of people from across the Bay Area are expected to protest Sunday in Oakland in wake of the release of Memphis police bodycam footage of the Jan. 7 arrest of Tyre Nichols.

"Tomorrow afternoon at Third Baptist Church at 3 o'clock sharp, there'll be a gathering of persons from all walks of life in order, that we might express our peaceful protest over the unfortunate horrific beating of Tyre Nichols," said Rev. Amos Brown, leader of the NAACP in San Francisco Third Baptist Church Pastor.

"The issue is not about black officers," said Amos. "The issue is about a culture in the police departments of this nation.""I can't call it hope cause I actually don't know if I believe things are ever going to change in this country for Black people," Brooks said. "To be perfectly honest with you, I'm so tired of marching but I have to keep going. What drives me is a deep love for my people.

What we know about Tyre Nichols' death and the investigation into the officers allegedly responsibleAuthorities say they'll release video of Tyre Nichols' violent traffic stop Friday evening. Cities are preparing for possible protests. This was an unjust killing. America is racist to its core and all they’re going to do is offer the same words they always offer and people are going to eat it up until the next story comes out 🥱😴😴😴 'The claims were ultimately dismissed after a judge ruled that Sledge had failed to file a grievance against the officers within 30 days of the incident.' Because you're in control to 'file a grievance' while injured and incarcerated at the prison medical center. Judge = 💩 At least no one complaining about diversity here.
