If Tyre Nichols followed police instruction there would not have been an issue , just a ticket
Sadness me to hear Tyre's calling out for he's mom. And they kept hitting him. This was so wrong in so many ways.. As a mother myself of a son this is heartbreaking to see. My heart goes out for he's mother and father. Praying for this family.

Couldnt any of these 500 pounds fat a*** sit on his legs to keep him down when they had him on the ground. No basic training on to restraint 160 lbs pound man ?
This is so disturbing to watch, the cruelty unbearable may he rest in peace.
Yikes.
I'm going to play devils advocate here. When the cops try to arrest you, don't resist don't fight them. Even if you know you did nothing just let them arrest you and prove your innocence later in court. And certainly don't try and run. American cops are brutal because they never know what's going to happen. People carry guns so they never know if they're going to get shot.
Shocking! So so tragic for Tyre and his family. This is police brutality at its best, perpetrated by thugs behind a badge and uniform. Tyre was being pinned down by 3 large men while another was beating him. I saw nothing in Tyre's behaviour that could be classed as provocation for the officers to behave as they did. I hope they're charged with 1st degree murder and the key to their cells is thrown away! My sincerest condolences to Tyre's family 🤍🕊🤍
Sickening
the los angeles banditos have entered the chat
So sad I couldn’t stop crying when I saw this video! My deepest condolences to his mom.
I can't unsee this disturbing video. Just horrible.
Black on black crime – IMPOSSIBLE – these cops must have been white supremacist nazi racists
Five animals need to be put down. End of story
What are you all watching ? These videos show Tyre Not Complying !!
He was told repeatedly to lay flat, with arms behind his back. He doesn't listen, then struggles, and tries to flee. That's how cops get shot.
These officers will be seen as innocent in the future
No wait …. Animals hunting prey.
Animals
NKN so sad but typical…
Each one guilty as the last. You can’t be a brick and claim to have nothing to do with the wall
I don't get is how you still won't learn if the cops tell you to get down it's get down. They tell you to roll over its roll over its, etc. Its really common sense. You clearly see the guy resisting after so many times to roll over and put your hands behind you back and then the dude tries to take off on foot c'mon man smh🤦♂️ The cops were in the wrong they deserve life in prison and then some but again this would've been prevented if he LISTENED to what he was told to do.
Psychopaths, the protectors and servers of the community, the culture of the boys in blue. These monsters should be incarcerated for a very long time and be personally liable to civil litigation.
cant say it was racism this time. They killed him for what ? The one cop hit him in the head 4 times why he was handcuffed and held.
But it is also about that poisoned messages they brainwash the Black communities on who the police are making them boys think they can game this system and not be faced with real consequences…look at em posters them so-called bleeding heart protesters carry. – Why he ran tho if he believes he innocent didn't do nuffin…this in part a fault of their Black community but no Black community will ever fess up to it…ever…They will call police officers the Devil but will expect them to save em too in times of need. I wonder if they talk abou their religious God this way too…messed up…but hey it is what it is.
Where is the white guy
Cowards need him to be held to sucker punch him these guys would probably over use their power if a cashier in a restaurant gave them attitude probably take down license plate and stalk them and for all we know they could've done the same to this guy or just not liked that he was a black civilian driving a car
What a bunch of cowards poor kid ran away knowing these cops where murders he probably stopped for the other cop thinking the other cop would be more reasonable little did he know they all working together. Just like that kid eating McDonald's trying to run away from the cop who he knew he had it out for him and the cop unloaded his clip as he tried to run away
It isn't law enforcement's job to torture people, their job is to detain people. They can use deadly force if their lives are threaten, but this was not the case in this video.
Jesus is coming soon! Luke 21:36

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains.” (Matthew 24:6-8)
