Tyre Nichols

Post by Square Rob »

I won’t watch the video, but from all indications this is going to be a seismic event across the US. Memphis Police Chief quoted as saying it’s worse than the Rodney King video.

And a separate uncomfortable question, how different will the response be since the officers are also black? On all sides, I see that changing the way people view it, unfortunately.

Haven't seen anything about how Blue Lives Matter, if that's what you're asking.

On back to back posts on Instagram one post said "The video is horrific so please watch this video of Tyre skateboarding instead." And it was a lovely video that he had done himself.

The very next post were snippets from the video and yes, it's horrific. That man was being tortured and eventually died from his sustained wounds. Like the one of torture serial killers do when they're kids to animals type of torture.

The officers had body cameras. There was a neighborhood camera on a utility post. And I believe someone in the neighborhood happened to be recording it from their house. And they still did it. I can't wrap my head around it.

It's fucking batshit insane.

Goddamn Tucker Carlson. What an epic piece of shit that guy is.

He also trotted out Jason Whitlock to somehow blame single mothers.

The whole "the only unjustified police shooting was Ashli Babbitt" narrative is the pinnacle of rare brain disease.

It tells me they don't think it matters, because they can do literally anything without repercussions.

Everything about this incident points to this being 100% routine behavior for these cops.

The only reason they didn't totally get away with it was probably because the victim died, and I would bet money that they've already killed people before for no real reason without punishment.
