Are they going to fire the whole department geez 😂
I can't even fathom his parent's pain. My own pain is overwhelming and I didn't even know him. This must stop. An innocent man was murdered in full view of multiple cameras and yet there are those still making excuses for those officers. Is this really what we have become? My heart is absolutely breaking about this. I am so discouraged about our future as a society right now. I just don't know what to do to help. I don't know how to fix it and I don't know where any of us should turn.
America taxpayers money shouldn't be paying for police officers Lawyers
Oh yeah right that six red neck officer is the one who initially tazed Tyree and shouted I hope they stomp him out. So U best believe he was at the second and final location in spirit. He needs to be charged with assualt without cause just like all the other flying monkeys.
Hang them like they hang us nigaz 4 no reason most of the time. I understand someone who was dead wrong cuz a devil is a devil blak or whyt in my eyes but we know which 1 who is in Power that have blaks eliminating other blaks like the old house niga attitude syndrome. No1 can make you do anything , it’s your choice to do what’s right or wrong no matter if it hurts or kills you. As Scripture Says : Speak the Truth or dnt Speak At All” I dnt prefer jail cuz I have the ancient view/old ways of justice💀☠️ 👻
I think North Korea is much safer.
It's not the officers fault it's the environment they were raised in! It's black gang culture! Say what you want but black people have nobody to blame but themselves
Imagine if they worked this fast, with inner city crime. Then we would have something.
Why has the white thuggish cop that tased Tyre and said he hopes they stomp him out not been charged.🤔🤔….More white immunity from prosecution.
Only called for the 1st officers jon only because he was white. Why aren't they asking for the police chiefs job??
HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING…what is wrong with you people????
When it comes to the ability of the people of the USA, everybody knows that it takes 3 men to subdue a 90 year old woman. So it only makes sense that it takes at least 20 men to subdue 1 man. The United States would really be in trouble if they got into another war. I'm just wondering who is sweeping up all the chicken feathers in the United States and where do they put them all?
I can not imagine what was going through that young man's mind
When youre not subject to ANY ACCOUNTABILITY isn't it funny the lame reasoning/ excusing they give when trying to rush to cover!!!
Watching from the uk and the amount of killings in the 🇺🇸 by police officers is just unbelievable, I know we’re a smaller country with unarmed police but hearing of police officers in various US states killing civilians is frightening and being black in the USA seems to be a problem for law enforcement hence the amount of young black men being murdered by law enforcement , my heart goes out to the family of the latest unlawful murder victim Tyre Nichols ❤
I’m now convinced polices are no different than crips, kkk, bloods, folk, Ms-13, black Chang, etc
There are more things going on in the world instead of this one case it’s been proven he was killed wrongly killed they fired everybody settle it be done with it move on to something else
Why don’t we spend as much time looking for missing children or women who are abused the only time there’s this much media is when there’s somebody black involved why
Well probably by the time they’re done they’ll fire all the cops in Memphis all the EMTs all the paramedics there won’t be nobody left to help nobody then what
'Duty' is the funny word they are simple sicarios
Open your eyes people
🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱
How was he not at the second scene what did he do stay at first scene by himself ??
I always said black cops were worse than racists ones towards black people.
Faith without work is d3ad … too many MLKs not enough Malcoms… enough is enough.. black on black.. white on black.. men on women… need a MX…
Preston looks like an obese young person
It goes up way higher than the police chief
Things like this probably happened many times before but these news agencies are making enough noise for a thousand cases
Are we going to talk about toxic masculinity now?
These men let their anger get the best of them.
We need an over haul of nation wide police departments
Over 660,000 police officers in this country. We get a few of these absolute horrendous events every few months. Less than 1% of police officers do these things. Don’t hate the numbers hate the fact they’re hidden and never mentioned for some reason.
NBC nationals broadcast communism
Thats great, thing is Memphis is a crime.ridden city SO ya still need to curb it. Animals aka thugs/hoodlums wont police themselves!
End qualified immunity
When you run the Police you get what you deserve.
Don't fire them, charge them
Police officers do not care unless their Qualified Immunity is taken away, their pensions and they can be personally sued. Stop using tax payer’s money to defend these people.
Another KEY cover-up by the Chief, is Not releasing the DASH CAMS
From the initial Police Cars (video) pursuing to make the stop of erratic Tyre
