#TyreNichols #Memphis #Police
So glad some of the emergency medical responders are being fired as well😃 many times they back up rogue police after using excessive force.
Everyone who stood around doing nothing must face some sort of Consequences For doing absolutely nothing To help Tyler
Comply don’t ask questions just Comply
Thank you Law Enforcement.
BOOOOOOOOO !
HE SHOWED UP AND DID HIS JOB
SOMEONE WAS RUNNING AWAY AFTER NOT COMPLYING
WRONG
Come outside say it
Tyre got that hood massage!
This was a gangland killing.
They should all be in prison
These guys are a danger to society for what they done to Tyre on a traffic stop. Just think if they can do that what else have they done?
Would suggest ones relieved of duties are ALL WHITE.
two officers remained at the scene of stopped vehicle;
of the said officers one is black skin & one is white skin.
yet i only observe five black skin kkklansman;
“i hope they stomp him out” spoken from the heart of white skin kkklansman of whom is not party to the offense
Qualified immunity is a judge-created rule that protects government officials, including police officers, when they are sued. Unbelievable.
Fire the police chief. She knew or should have known about the (Scorpion) police.
This was a terrible tragedy. I’m hoping the protests remain peaceful as possible and I’m truly sorry for his family’s loss.
White privilege; and slower investigation process when it come to white officers… They go through a different judicial process when it’s white people in this country. Now you got to question what false narrative they put the white officer to state. And what friends and family he has in America’s systemic racist institutionalized judicial system! Because we know the whole system is ran by white friends and family…. And if this white officer the first on the scene of the original stop, what did he say to the dispatcher to receive an immediate, back up & violent response from a scorpion unit for a traffic stop. The need to release the original recorded call on that stop to the dispatcher….
Cops had gang ties
Safety ????
They should investigate the whole disbanded Scorpion Unit
BAIL woooooow!!!😮
Good
Good there’s many more to get for happened to Tyre Nichols 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Oh you found a white one. Good for you to start the race baiting .
Put his picture up with the rest of the black officers on the video’s thumbnail
Imagine those officers where white.
“the case is complicated… the evidence is not clear… we have reasons to believe…” etc
Ohhh Loadie 😡
It’s a criminal gang with badge and Guns. Gestapo
RODNEY KING
ALL
OVER AGAIN😪
Worse than Rodney king cause he survived stupid
Worst than Rodney King, he was actually beaten by white cops
Why hasn’t the ambulance driver been relieved. Is it true he/she never stepped from the vehicle?
ITS NOT ABOUT RACE for two years I have ranted all over the internet those very words ! It’s about that other taboo subject LOW IQ ! The level of intelligence in our police force nationally is to low which leads to poor decision making and little knowledge of their jobs! Now that we see an experiment where everyone involved is African American the issue is very clear but we are afraid of hurting feelings! We are very selective about people in many jobs we examine and test and have high character requirements but for cops not so much! Look at that video and ask yourself are these professionals are these people smart would I enjoy working with them ? And go find a video of white cops and black victims ask the same question! And I can point to hundreds of videos of white cop white victims ! Because we are conditioned to seeing what we want to be true we see it! A racist component does exist in many cases but THE ROOT CAUSE in most is LOW IQ ! who has the guts to go on national tv and say that?
Am I the only one that notices how these news reporters aren’t actually saying much about the 6th officer? you know, the white one?? They seem to want to keep all the focus on the black officers. Interesting.🤔 they didn’t even show his photo! As far as I’m concerned EVERYONE who was on the scene that night Tyre was beaten should be equally exposed and held accountable.
Although there has been no official word about any possible motives behind the actions of the officers, the rumor that he might be romantically involved with one of the alleged murderer’s wives went rampant on the internet. “#TyreNichols having an affair with one of the officers wives…#streetjustice” one Twitter user said, while another noted, “Tyre Nichols initial stop video… some people are saying this happened because he was also dealing with one of the officers wife.”
Another wrote, “I’m a born and raised Memphian with friends in law enforcement. I have heard from ppl close to MPD Tyre Nichols was indeed involved with an officer’s wife. The officers were actively looking for him prior to the stop. Tyre apparently bolted when he recognized one of them.”
I’m sure there’s more bad cops they need to fire them all and bulldoze the building. Let mall police take their place. They need to go back and review any case the scorpion gang handled. Bad hiring practices
Much love and a big shout out to Ben Crump he does alot for the worst cases.
I wonder what the family of the officers had to say to them after they watched the video IF the watched it.
why does the Chief still have a job… ??
Such transparency, such open condemnation from those who are usually loath to voice criticism of the police. Here’s hoping the same will apply henceforth, whatever the colour of the officers involved.. Idiots!!!They have played right into the hands of those who did not want them on the force in the first place. Serves them right but the hypocrisy is galling.
Around 15 years ago again in Memphis, cops chased a minivan & while trying to get on the interstate the van rolled over ejecting the driver. The cops in squad cars behind the wreck leapt from their cars & started beating & kicking the unconscious driver. All of this is on youtube. Nothing happened then & now look. MPD is one of the worst in the nation.
and as if right on cue …The Fraternal Order…swoops in to the rescue.
It’s good that they’re finally doing the big clean.
Who remembers the movie “Training Day” (2001) ?
Did ER Staff did him wrong too. Did they let him waiting in the waiting room. Remeber Tyre was prisoner when he went to the ER.
There whole police department is empty now. What a shame !!!!!! They need some serious TRAINING !!!!! They have to stop KILLING us !!!!
Why he did nothing wrong ?
Tasing him while beating
Police are out of control. Black or White. It is not a race thing.
Get all that had something to do with that man’s death all has got to be charged
What about a rumor Nichols slept/worked with cops girlfriend
White cops get “relieved of duty”. Black cops get “fired and arrested”. This is AMERICA!
No charges!
Sad thing is now a bunch of pigs around the country are gone be gunned down while sitting in their patrol cars…
THE MERCENARY extreme violent Martial Arts action by Dominiquie Vandenberg former French Foreign Legion 2 REP Sniper now on streaming and Amazon prime
The Memphis police chief has to be let go. Please don’t be fooled. The entire “leadership and command staff” of the Walnut CreeKKK police department and Contra Costa County fire department must be fired ASAP. These are two racist well funded gangs. Two large racist well funded gangs. These people are evil wicked and hateful. Please, please, please pray for them.
God is Love.
NYPD in any law-enforcement is a new age gang
No need to fire them or relief them of duty just simply jail them
BLM
WLM
Blue Lives Matter
@bezo black in a grave
More people need to be charged not less! Supervisors and the chief all need to be charged with murder. Including this white demon.
Devil’s
Where’s the picture of the cop? Oh yeah, he’s wite.
He is 🤡
@KING MAYA BZE ™️ You’re the clown or the cop?!
@Kortney how am I a cop 🤨🤡❓you just mad the white one got caught 😂😂
Police are gonna start dieing
token white guy is to blame for 5 black guys beating up a black guy, got it
The tazer hurts more than the beating
@KING MAYA BZE ™️ yup so let’s just blame the 1 white guy with a tazer o er the black guys using metal night sticks got it
Suspended? Not fired?
They definitely needed a white guy lol 😆
Blacks killing blacks….who will be blamed by the BLM Mob? All Police? The culture of the race is looking kinda wack.
I think they want people to destroy the city. They keep bringing it up even though no a single person doing it. In the pass the reason folks destroy the city because they refuse to arrest the officers. In this case they done it quickly.
Poor cops have to deal with all these neurotic, fake-hard homies. Good work, blue.
Fake news pushing hate and division across America for democrats. They had antifa set up across America hoping to burn America. Luckily law enforcement had other ideas. What a bunch of hypocrites.
Watch how fast they cencor conservatives….. .
https://youtu.be/poXlm0HdeO8
They nvr showed the viddeo they only wanted to show what they wanted.N now it shows two white cops were involved n got off easy w a suspension.Racism will nvr stop.I thought they were going to protect the all those cops but no threw the other ones right under the bus n protect their own the white cops now that’s jus racism! N it’s jus ugly
You mean 6th gang banger.
Now that they fingered the one and only white officer on the scene bet the 5 other Black cops will ce exonerated due to them being forced into doing this evil white cops racist attack. It’ll be obvious to see that the 1 and only White cop was the true ring leader in all this
He was fired because he was white lmao. He did nothing wrong
Rumor has it, this was personal for one of the officers. The victim and one of the officers had a relationship with the same woman. It went way too far. So sad
Tyre Nichols is an actor.. go figure…. False flag and conspiracy
JEHOVAH We won’t & can’t break down when we have a righteous great kind king like you . Thankyou for it , your LOVE fuels , cares , & helps us . With you we have everything & more . Every moment in your spiritual presence is a BLESSING. Keep us from being exploited , bless our minds , hearts , efforts , prayers.
Thank-you for going through this w| us save us from the hardest parts amen JEHOVAH GOD I’m glad I still have the heart & desire to pray for myself , others , & be in the full mind & heart of gratitude
King we’re praying hard , loud , & on time for the
Lame
Defenseless
Stressed

& those who’re in vulnerable situations
I’m most definitely praying for Tyre Nicholos spirit, family , & soul. Sit high & look low because your justice is really the best & shows us trouble don’t last always ThAnkyou JESUS
{Isaiah 61:8
For I the LORD love justice; I hate robbery and wrong; I will faithfully give them their recompense, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.}
Why are they not all arrested? Accomplis to a vicious crime… makes the good cops look bad
Thank God for cameras! Their safety is 🙊🙈🙉🤔🤕🤕🥺😓😓so I guess they will be carely watched by police so they will be SAFE hmmmmmm wow Tyre Nichols was not safe in the hands of policemen & that is something I don’t understand🤔🤔😓😓🥺🥺RIP Tyre🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿💯🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
This what happens when you decimate your police force with budget cuts and policy restrictions and have to lower your hiring and pay standards to where you’re having to hire thugs to police the thugs.
They always make a distraction before something big stay awake ppl.
All the black cops need to be rioted against, protested against bad black cops which is all black cops need to happen now! Defund black cops
So they were lighting the car on fire in Atlanta because they were cold. Lol
Arrest all of them- monsters come in different colors
This is the first time I see democrats and the media care about black on black crime.
Funny how they only show the 5 black cops but not the white one that tased him in the beginning!
Anyone else notice that the cops are black too
Is there any evidence that one of these dirty cops might have known Nichols outside of this incident? I’m hearing chatter of other beatings and maybe a mutual female friend? This is starting to sound like a Big City/Small Town type of murder.
Are they going to sentence this officer’s to life imprisonment or just suspended from duty
Are they trying to make this case in to a political joke or do they really not have the ability to tell the difference between a person that committed a crime and someone that wasn’t even on the scene.
Looks like this tyre incident is now a little deflated and skidding to a halt.
The black head shed on British telly is stating that racism in the US is so rife,that the black coppers involved were effectively “contaminated ” to be racist against their own clan .
US black cultural BS knows no bounds.
Right about now Tyre Nichols’ mom and her beau are likely researching if they can get away with keeping all the GoFundMe money without building the promised skate park. They already have close to 1.5 million dollars. They must have plans for vacations, cars, a house, jewelry, new clothes, and who knows what else.
I am not sure why they deserve to be compensated by the average Joe for an injustice done to their adult son. It’s like they hit the lottery. Now all these poor blacks are going to start hoping their kid gets offed by some crazy cops. It’s the new way out of the ghetto.
Next news
Make no sense😅
SOME SAY ONE OF THE COPS TOOK PIX OF VICTIM AND SENT IT 2 HIS EX AS A WARNING IF SHE DIDNT GET BACK WITH HIM, THEY SAY THE COPS EX WAS SEEING TYRE!! MAYBE INVESTIGATORS NEED 2 CHECK ALL OF THOSE COPS PHONES RECORDS
https://youtu.be/kbrcLBFISI8
The cycle will continue until we bring attention to the clear problems.
We got to stop all this black on black violence I thought everyone was saying the police are racist and black life’s matter but we don’t see what we do to ourselves forget the police cause it’s worse on the streets and in the so called hood why can’t we protest to end the gang violence it’s those people who make us look bad
GIVE THEM THE DEATH PENALTY.
America taxpayers money shouldn’t be paying for police officers Lawyers
Why call him black man why not just a mann
There’s a day coming that they penalty will be one they wish they never been born
I will continue to pray for the family of the young man his kids tears will rest upon these policemen children and their families and their grandchildren and their great grand children the blood of this young man will torment them all to death
Good fire and charge them all long jail time for them all!
