STOP TALKING MEAN
I STAND WITH THIS MOTHER – DO YOU HEAR HER? STOP THE RHETORIC – ALL LIVES MATTER – CHOOSE BETTER -IT IS WICKED NOW – DO THE RIGHT THING – STAND TOGETHER – STOP DIVIDING THE TRUTH – STOP FIGHTING BEHIND THE SAME LINE – ON THE SAME SIDE – DO BETTER
I'm glad this can't be blamed on racism this time. There is a serious problem with authority figures thinking they have the power to get away with murder. Police training should involve studying constitutional law. Corrupt government is the main problem with our country at all levels.
I told my mother if the cops do me like that she better not go on t.v. talkin that ole peace and bull….
With BLM animals involved, there’s no such thing as peaceful!
All the police officers were black, making it the typical black on black violence that's off the chart and happens every day
Am I the only one who sees through this woman? They said she wanted the video out? Why!? Is there a gofundme up on this guy? Sounds like mom/family trying to cash out.
Rest easy, beautiful. ❤
No need to be so dramatic.All this for a loss suit.
African instrumental
I can only imagine this brutality happening to my own son, who is about the same age as Tyre, and how it would scar me for life… I've already had one child die from a heroin overdose… Evil people have been running this country!
My Dad used to say;
"The first person to lift their fist in a fight is the first person to run out ideas!" he was always right.
I pray for only🇺🇸USA peace for y'all neighbours/neighbors. Jesus said something to the effect of' nation can't turn on nation, 'stop turning on each other' 'ya'won't stand' or something like that.
We're all in this together and I don't want to see another☠️civil war, do🇺🇸yous?
Do things the🏳️peaceful way, make💔it better.
"The pen's mightier than the sword.", I heard somewhere before.
💐I'm so sorry for all🇨🇦Canadian and🇺🇸USA victims of Police violence of any kind however I'm not surprised, I've become used to murders on our shared🇨🇦🇺🇸continent.
💐I'm so very sorry for everyone involved, you're all so strong.
I'd like to see🙌🏻unity again, all I see is❌division in the🇺🇸USA.
Don't tear up your🌹beautiful country nor vandalize your historical reminders, the🐥young need to🎓know and learn-"lest we forget".
🇨🇦✌🏻💔(+🇺🇦)🇺🇸✨🌎💫
10 dollars there will be a riot
Wish his family well
Please, please listen to RowVaughn Wells. Please, no more killing. Police major reform needed, please for the human beings u serve.
There’s no way this ends peacefully, there is something called a tipping point. How many black men and women have been murdered sense Floyd?
You protest violently then you take away all the attention from the victim and put the focus on you looters/rioters.
However I know people will still do it.
Peacefully protest for Elijah MClain too!!!
Save your breath mom, the looters and haters will still loot and riot, your words don't mean a thing to them. The cops have been fired and are being prosecuted. How about you wait until the evidence comes out and they are all tried first? Sure, like that's gonna happen.
Maybe this event will help ppl realize police brutality isn’t a racial issue. That won’t happen though, because there’s just too much at stake for “peaceful protests”
Chief said no reckless driving found…was he targeted?
Them drums!!! Powerful, rest in peace Tyre🕊🕊🕊
What protest? There were no white officers involved.
I'll take your peace and put it in my pipe.
I disagree. You speak incredibly well in public!! #Justicefortyre
I just can't wait to see how you gonna play the race card here
I don't know why this video has been suggested I didn't search for it!!
But let me say this In the past Black man have been mistreated by white men then BLM (fascist racist) groups have attacked and burned down businesses in the USA!!
so I'm just waiting for them in case of if they are going to do the same thing attack and burn down businesses! Attack innocent people etc!!
I'm not wishing but I just wondering that's all.
That black man was killed by 5 black men…..let's see what happens or just another hypocrisy of BLM founder of Millionaires and its sympathisers!! 🇬🇧
We sure forgive a lot. We forgave the White Lion ship bringing us here. We forgave the Willie Lynch letter. We forgave lynchings. We forgave having our five limbs being tied to 5 horses and the shotgun blast scaring them into a high gallop We forgave being dragged behind Pa's INTERNATIONAL truck. We forgave Carolyn Bryant and her inbred brothers which were also her boyfriends. We forgave MLK's killer. We forgave Malcolm X's killer. We forgave Rodney Kings killer cops.
WE ARE JESUS!
What time does the fun begin?
It's cool, the cops weren't white, so there probably won't be any riots. Doesn't fit the mainstream narrative.
blm where you at
Why is everyone surprised that the officers are black?? Just another racist remark becuz they aren’t white. And why didn’t Tyre comply???
Here we go again with the rioting and violence with no arrests. Breaking into businesses and looting, etc. This is not justice, it’s just an excuse for violence! I’m sorry, his mom and family ARE encouraging rioting and violence! She knows there will be rioting , looting and violence!! And again, nobody will be arrested because of the color of their skin! Just remember when your businesses are looted, cars are burned and people are hurt, Tyre’s family and the Memphis police chief encouraged this!!!!
