The Capitol Police are preparing in advance for protests that are likely to break out following the expected release of body camera footage of the arrest of Tyre Nichols, the 29-year-old Black motorist who died of unspecified injuries days after a traffic stop in Memphis.
Two people familiar with the situation told Politico that the Capitol’s law enforcement arm is buttressing its security measures, with a reporter spotting workers unloading barricades near the Capitol on Thursday evening. The anxiety around the response to the footage has extended to the Capitol’s lawmakers, withreporting that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy met with Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Thursday afternoon to discuss the heightened safeguards.
Be kind, rewind. ☠️ A potential protest over another unlawful black death-by-cop resonates stronger with U.S. Capitol Police than an actual publically ordained full blown Insurrection by a Treasonist.
Riot? For what? The officers were fired.
For gods sake, do not go to the Capitol.
It will be a mostly peaceful riot that is in no way an insurrection.
And toss the CROOKED GOP in the dumpster where it belongs !!
