Thank you, Elwyn Lopez, for treating this story with such compassion and professionalism. Heart breaking.
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😭
Look at the mother. Her child isn't even buried yet, and she steady interviewing.
Elwyn Lopez is the greatest journalist with her compassionate and gentle nature in addressing such a heartbreaking story.
The American community of
All races and culture, pray for your family and will keep your son in our prayers and hearts! We will fight for justice… These animals need to be arrested right now! Murder is the verdict here!!!! The way they spoke, the words they used, the brag of what they did, the laughter after what they did. They all deserve jail until our creator brings them judgement.
my heart goes out to this poor family for the disgusting attack on their son and the fact it was on video and was calling for his mum makes my heart break , all our love and prayers from Great Britain
They’re not telling everything. Looked like he was a target and this was very personal.
Tear down the blue wall. Some may be good, but their SILENCE makes them just as bad. Until cops stop protecting the psychopaths amongst them, they will always be viewed as a wolf, not a sheep dog.
Is the cop or am I the one who's really dangerous?
My heart bleeds for this family and their horrific loss. I pray that the Lord can offer them peace and the midst of this horrific tragedy. Every single one of these officers deserve to spend the rest of their lives in prison. I cannot even hear the horrific details or watch the horrific video for more than a second without tears pouring out of my face. What a horrific tragedy this is and how Brave these parents are to continue the work that their son has started
The police need policing and the policing needs policing.
My prayers to the family may justice be served
There are more than a few thugs who don a badge in order to "legally" rob and assault people. There is obviously systemic corruption in Memphis PD, because Tyre's murderers were obviously preying upon others.
That was so hard to watch..
RIP prayers to the family.
I hope those cops get locked away for life and drop their soap every day in prison
It bothers me when people say "She's a loving mother, she's strong etc." They beat her son. And now she has to sit up here and be "strong". I get tired of people complementing black women on being strong all the time when terror rains down on them like fires from hell. Even strong people get tired of being strong. I am sorry but I do not see it as a complement in this case because when people think you are strong they are least likely to help you. They don't need strength they need justice.
Those 5 Policer’s That Beating That Awesome Young Black Man From Those 5 Black Police Officer’s You Beating Him Do Death And Those Officer’s Are Going To Prison’s For All Off There Life’s If Those Men In Prison Don’t Kill All Off The In Prison. All Off Them Are Going To Heal. I Am Actually Praying For The Dad And Mother And His Siblings And His Family And Friends Are Praying Every Day For That Awesome Young Man Who Life was taken by those Dirty Cops
I will continue to post what these corrupt law enforcement officers did to me here in Tulsa Oklahoma. I reported to internal affairs over and over again about what is happening to me. I'm a 68 year old black female in a PhD program with a 4.0 GPA. They delete my post because they don't want to be exposed. I recently went to DVIS begging for help.
We are all with you black and white we want justice for your son your family is in our prayers and thoughts may God be with you
Tyre had it coming. If these parents spent as much time with their child as they do on television, then maybe he wouldn't have acted out and forced the police to step in and take action.
All those in their memorial tombs will hear his voice and wake up.
I am so so so very sorry for this family. I can’t even begin to imagine their pain. So sad. I just can’t believe the policemen’s actions. What is wrong with people?! 💔💔💔 I can’t bring myself to watch the video but I’ve read about it. I pray for justice for this young man and his family.
I watched and was horrified by this evil. I feel for the mother hearing and knowing that her baby was calling for her and she wasn't there to stop them. I feel that my eldest son was calling for me as he lay dying on the street after being shot 3 times. He died 55 days later. It breaks my heart when other parents lose their children because I know the day to day torture . More broken hearts. Never ask a parent what are you gonna miss most about your deceased child. Everything about them is going to be missed. Everyday there is going to be more things we remember and grieve. This mother is in shock and on auto pilot, and I pray for her , others, and myself. You never get over it.
They got a black lives matter movement why don't they have a "stop black violence" movement
They done emmet till that boy! It be your own kind
Sad. Black Americans only relief to terrorism is to give it to God. 🤮 America is destined for doom.
Black Mom's only cry for their black babies when they're on TV and next to their lawyers cause they know they're getting a fat payday.
Strong Parents
what a world we are living in
Talk about training day or in 2 deep smh
Sending my love 💓 to this mother from 🇬🇧 I can't imagine the pain this is truly so so sad.
He had a broken neck tf
Sad
They thought they could get away with it.
I can't believe the family agree with the DA for manslaughter these gangsters police officers need to be charge for first degree murder….whether are not this not supposed to happen to any human beings…
Watched the sun set and went home yet never made it 👀👀👀tf
Ben Crump is a good man. This young man was swollen and beaten severely. I think of my two daughters and how much I hurt when they hurt. When my mom passed away at the same hour my grandma screamed out loud. We learned it was the exact time of her death
I have a feeling that this young man had special needs?? This is horrific and his death was not necessary.
As far as I am observing the police system and Department of Justice system is far from reliable. I don't trust the system in the United States. Otherwise, I would not continuously seeing or hearing these drastic incidents like this occuring. This is just overwhelmimg and awful to take 😞.
So late last night I looked up the Birthday information of all 5 Police Officers from Tennessee that Brutality beat Tyler to Death. I also saw the Interview of his Parents and what a Classy Amazing Parents he had. He loved his Mom so much that he put her name on his Arm. He did not deserve that abuse nor beating nor death. I feel such a Hatred Right Now for all American Police. I'm sorry to say that. I want all of them Stripped off their Uniforms and Police Badges taken from them and to tell them YOUR FIRED and never to return. America does not need Police Stopping Drivers it easily leads to Murder. So instead America Needs INVESTIGATORS BIG TIME you guys have a real epidemic of killers and missing people. So not Police but Investigators that look up each County Missing person or Murder victim and immediately start using Photos and making a list of Daily people around the Victim and Get the Phone information of People that communicated with the Victim and get all Camer Videos of the Days before and after the Victim Disappeared or was killed. Then talk to all people that Knew the Victim. Family Friends Neighbors Coworkers Former School Friends. Then once the Case is Solved then Call in the Court Custody Unit to bring in the Suspects and await Court Procedure for Murder or Kidnapping or Abuse. That is what AMERICA needs NOW ! Not tomorrow or in the Future but Fking NOW!
She said, "I hate that 5 black men did this" Would she have preferred latinos, or arabs, or White men do this to the dude? Statistically speaking, if a black dude was gonna get beat to death by 5 other dudes, it was always gonna be by other black dudes. Only time the black "community" cares about black on black violence is when pigs do it, and come out on top.
So so sad. I'm a 55 year old black man and have never been in any type of trouble with the law in my life and I literally fear police officers, white or black or any color. I've raised my sons that are in their 30's and who have never been in any trouble to never trust the police. I will never call the police for help, even if my life depended on it. I know not all officers are bad but how do you know that the one who pulled you over is not the one who's gonna break your neck. So 😔 sad.
I'm pray for you I know money will not bring your son back but make sure you get Ben crump so they will have to pay for their acts and the city of Memphis who hired these corrupt cops praying for you 🙏🙏🙏❤️
❤❤❤
How horrible!! God Bless him and his family!! They all should be charged to the fullest!!! You think this behavior wouldn’t be from the police!! Bless his heart!! 💔😇🙏🏻😡
This mom and dad. Is the example how 98% of who black people are. Everyone is fast to judge
