HE WAS SUCH A GOOD BOY
I'm betting that only because the kid died did the thugs get fired and charged. Had he lived they might have been able to hide behind qualified immunity. Disgusting.
Let me guess……. Racism.
Nothing more to say…sad…ridiculous…sickening…discussing! Praying for the soul of America and nothing comes from it. This is not the country I grew up in…This country, is going from worse to disaster! Not sure what it means to live here anymore, when I see things like this! Heartbreaking!
I guess there's been no riots because none of the cops were white. Let me guess, he was such a good guy and did nothing wrong….
Holy lawsuit 💲
Smdh. Sad…
Where yall at woke ppl?
Those racists cops… Oh wait nevermind
These cases are normally hard to break because it’s in the past or more commonly white officers responsible for these beatings and subsequent deaths.
Isn’t it amazing how quick the wheels of justice are moving here when it’s five black officers.
They should be jailed for sure, abuse of power is sick no matter what color you are and I feel terrible for that poor lady losing her son it’s not fair and it’s not just.
But the fact that this department is moving so quickly on this particular case you have to question racial motives again or at least the narrative seems to paint it that way.
All I know is I’d rather be anywhere but Memphis tonight, and in fact this weekend when that footage goes out 😥😥😰😰
I just hope people control themselves and don’t get baited into violence by anyone. Protest but don’t let the media and the “powers that be” win by turning grieving people into villains in the news.
>Young boy
>Is 29 year old father
Sounds about right
Doesn't reflect proper policing, but the brutality of Usa policing is all we seem to see. Also, black officers should be changing the system, not adding to its failures. This is sickening. To do this to our own. I hope they rot and get what coming to them, being police, from all the other inmates. Disgusting.
If those cops were caucasian they would never face charges like this in groups.
5 pigs 🐷 charged with murder, isn’t the world filled with hypocrites?
Shocking that they're all BLACK
Rest in peace Peace in heaven
It is interesting how quick these five black officers where fired, if it had been five white officers it would have taken years to fire them. Pure evil is what these officer are, in the words of the panelist on Roland Martin unfiltered "not all brown is down"…
If it was white officers they would've never been charged….
He ain't no boy, call him by his name Tyre Nichols. To call him a boy shows a lack of respect and a perpetuation of colonialism.
Great job police 😂🐀
No BLM type of protest why? Because all the cops are black not white BLM is a grift
So. No riots this time. , Right?
Black cops hate their own race …haha so stupid
Poor mama. Absolutely heartbreaking that she has to bury her baby at that young of an age.
Million Dollar Paychecks Coming Very Soon
Wait. 5 black policemen killed another black man?
unfortunately cops can be the worst gang white black men or women doesnt matter, its the absolute power position that takes people over the edge
Yes. Charge them dirty pigs.
