My condolences to the family & all who knew this young man. This is Absolutely evil & stupid. This was a person's life! It's personal as it was God's soul; not theirs to do with what they wanted. Was it vengeance, because of what,… they knew him, what!? Oh they're all what race?? No matter about race!! Evil is an equal opportunity offender!! Obviously this entire police unit & their bosses are unfit for duty. Oh & this isn't unique to Memphis,TN or the USA. IF MEN, (usually), are given this much power & they are given or they buy their guns OR they make their own weapons, then mass horrible chaos & loss of lives will occur. This is an age old problem! Men exacting punishment on the weaker, the captive, the disliked, the hated. Folks acting with no inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior. No remorse. A fallen & broken world. No surprise.
Richard Pryor said it best , it's okay to kill a knee-crow . But they will protect a white officer . Wow , how long did it take to get the minority officers ? But the department will protect its white officers . Strange the department will move Swift when it comes to minorities officer breaking laws , but take months and years to bring white officers to justice. This case will prove it again .
in a basket full of bad apples…..there are some good ones.
HEAVEN OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE!
Whoever repents of all his sins (turns from sins) and calls on the Name of the LORD, will be saved! He who died on a cross for the sins of the world, rose from the dead on the third day, and by His blood, whoever repents and believes, has full redemption of sins and eternal life!
Today is the day of your salvation, repent and confess Jesus the Christ now as your Lord and be saved, because you broke the law but He paid your fine with His life's blood!
For those with understanding: Matthew 24:40-41 will take place very soon, this is the sixth seal! This is the generation of the harpazo, rapture, and behold you will witness the trumpet blast that will make the sky recede as a scroll being rolled up! Therefore, be ready and be the five wise virgins, do not be the five foolish virgins! (Parable of the Ten Virgins.)
Great prospective FMR. Mayor A.C. Wharton, my deep condolences and prayers continue to go out to the families. R.I.P. Tyre Nichols, they hated you, but there are so many of us who've never meet you love you. Your living was not in vain.
Something is not right because it keep saying different story. About the 5 😈 officers. Who right Who wrong. Something is going on. I just can't understand why can when get justice something is still not right. You people think is a cover up. You think the police have something to hide with his murder.
They were scorpions indeed very poisonous ones.
🙄….they’ve had almost 1000 murders there since 2020.
Funny how that’s never addressed!
Whoever hired this police chief did not do their homework….so many flaws in her police career…she should be removed from position Immediately
I didn't See Police Officers!. I saw Gang Members! Beating someone just because they Felt like it!.
This Guy act like our mayor here n Gallup n.m ..we got Rez unit here that or almost like the scorpion unit..
is that him!, Yeah!, that's the Fella!, working with my Partner!, at Fed Ex!, sorry Everyone!, it's about to be Exposed!, wasn't Random!, this was a Targeted Attack!, stay tuned!, it's all coming out!.
4:14 the only person is a bitch is the cop wife or girlfriend who was cheating on him . them pigs going to jail they going to become the BITCH
The Rumor is, the victim(tyre nichols) had relaions with the baby mother of one the officers who was beating him. She worked with the victim at Fedex.
2004 Eric primary school Care that's what I've learned from social media history builder's Hamilton in the same dossier
What else does the social media know about the fake history builder's??????
Memphis is run by Democrats. How is " white supremacy" to blame for the incident? Are Democrats the racists going systemic?
In the wake of police brutality exhibited by non black officers.. why oh why would dark skin men do this to another dark skin man. This the part that gets me. How could they.
That was an abuse and murder….Why these police so brute? Are been injected with some testosterone shoots or steroids or any other drug to make the uniform or unit “ look good”? Just asking !
Just shut up Mayor, what did you do to change things while being Mayor. Nothing I bet.
Memphis won't forget they are just waiting and I fear for the police because you know that them niggas are crazy
🚩 I suspect that a brutal regime of occult forces and Masonic lodges reigns in the 🇺🇸. 👮♂️🦂👮♀️🦮
You all love to see about that black cowards in uniforms you all never say anything about the rest of them that stood around the cowards in uniform it was some white cowards in uniforms there they all should be thrown in jail from jail with no trial to prison for life every last one was there a white coward in uniform has been charged yet those are the damn question you all should be asking always talking about the black cowards in uniforms
All news media and Lefty politicians are still blaming systemic white supremacist racism for this event.
Calling another man a bitch out here means something different
Prior to this bizarre incident of police brutality, Memphis was known for Detective Mason and the homicide detectives on The First 48. A city's reputation can be built up firm and torn down so suddenly by fools.
He's the only one other than myself recognized Tyre being called the "B" word. It was out of the ordinary. There is much more to this story it seems. But I don't want to jump to conclusions.
😎 It was personal an they use the agency to cover it as a arrest thing, an other cop's said we with you an they all covered it up. It's was something personal 1 of those's cop's had against Nichol's.
Fake news media is loving this, it's just too bad there wasn't a white officer involved, harder to push the riots.
Bad apples spilling out everywhere in Memphis, smh
They beat the soul out that kid. Horrifying! RIP Tyre 💔
Like every other major city with epidemic levels of violent crime, Memphis has been controlled by Democrats and African Americans specifically for decades. There is absolutely no merit to suggesting the systemic failures are the result of any other race besides the one in charge. The blacks in power exploit and ignore the residents who voted for them based on their false promises. This mayor and others before him lowered hiring standards that allowed street thugs to be issued guns and badges and continue the criminal acts they perpetrated prior to being appointed. These cities got what they wanted and deserve. It’s sad but true.
You know he a descendant slavery’s love him I’m one too so I can say that I’m from Mississippi Louisiana
This was personal. My condolences to the Nichols family.
