Memphis BLM Activist: Tyre Nichols's Killing Is Part of Police Brutality Crisis for Black Residents
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 май 2024
- Amid nationwide protests, prosecutors charge five former Memphis police officers with murder in the death of Tyre Nichols, who died January 10 of kidney failure and cardiac arrest after a vicious beating three days earlier during a traffic stop. Memphis and other cities across the U.S. are expecting mass protests against police violence, with body-camera footage of the deadly traffic stop set to be released Friday evening. We go to Memphis for an update from community organizer Amber Sherman, a member of the Memphis chapter of Black Lives Matter, who says police brutality is nothing new for many residents. "It's literally just being caught on camera," Sherman says. "We have experienced this same kind of violence over and over and over again in our communities."

This is disgusting. What's more disgusting is they were released on bail. You shouldn't be able to bail out of jail when you murdered someone, period!
You know how our Justice system work. Or do you. You are innocent until proven guilty. No matter how bad the video is.
Please donate to BLM. This needs to end
@@miamijefe7793 If those cops were white BLM would have made sure that American cities would be burning
@@miamijefe7793 I will never do that. None of that donation money ever ends up in the hands of the families that lost loved ones due to police brutality. The founders buy themselves homes and luxury cars.
At Long Branch, NJ we experienced police brutality, human rights violations. When we tried to report to internal affairs, the department refuse to put on writing our complaints, and the police Chief Muolo. Keep deaf ears to o ur complaints, and the municipal Judge George Cieri, was a piece o c.... working for the corrupt system and ignoring the innocents, who were accused of false and bogus charges.
This is AWFUL 😞.....The hate that we have amongst each other is sad and sickening....
😪😪💔
This was not a traffic stop. This was personal. This young man saw these police officers doing something and they went after him with the intent to harm him. These police officers did not ask for ID, registration or anything. They stopped him and pulled him out without asking one question.
You're right..
😳 I hadn't thought of that however it is something to think about. WOW SMH
agree, they targeted him for whatever no-good reason
Targeted over a girl that worked at FedEx that 1 of the officers was trying to be with...keep watching for it to come out..SMH
yea , seemed really fishy too me, you might be onto something
No police chief’s kid,
No police lieutenant’s kid,
No police sergeant’s kid,
No police investigator’s kid,
No police swat captain’s kid will ever be pulled out of their car and beaten to death during a traffic stop while crying for his mother.
We should expect the same treatment for our children.
Exactly. "Street Crimes Unit" sounds like code for a lower standard of policing in poorer neighbourhoods.
This is false. I don’t see what you are trying to say here. Individuals who are likely to do those horrible actions would never know whose kid is who or care. They wouldn’t have cared. Just a stupid statement in terms of the action.
@@user-qd3vs6on1f you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.
@@jimbo141 because he doesn't agree with you?
@@user-qd3vs6on1f yes they would have once the officer approaches the vehicle that motorist is going to tell that officer I am Sgt. Chief. Lieutenant. Fire Chief. Etc....that motorist would probably never have to present his ID after running the license plate. It worked for me when I worked in the law enforcement field
To lose a son is unbelievably painful. To lose him and know he was beaten so badly has to be the cruelest pain I've ever seen inflicted. There's something real evil in those men.
ITS HEARTBREAKING WATCHING THEM INTENTIONALLY, INTENTIONALLY BEAT HIM TO DEATH.
Any Man over 200lbs know you can’t punch someone in the face over and over.
REAL REAL 😈
Spare me. These people dont raise sons. 78% of black homes..NO fathers.
Facts he tried to run home 3 houses away man tha ts sad😥💔😡😡
@@MISSLOVELY_REE it's really horrible. He called for his mom too. So hard to watch. I hope those police get life sentence.
Honestly, the scorpion unit probably beat men to an inch of their lives. Plenty of times it’s unfortunately that someone had to die for these five corrupt animals to be finally charged.
Yep. But this is what you get when systemic racism is so deeply embedded in a society.
Abe homo
Not “animals,” their cowardly monster’s! Animals don’t behave like this. Js
Yeah like the red dog unit Atlanta had many years ago beat people and killed them and got away with it
Lock these animals up and throw away the key.
My hearts hurts for this young man and his family. God be with us!
Please reach out to my facebook or IG if you need someone to talk to
It's a human problem. Not a religious one. No one is holding all police officers responsible for the death or severe beating of anyone.
The longer we keep electing, fascist and racist Republicans to Congress and state offices, we can expect more.
@@naturecallsanditssobeautiful s/he didnt call for a religion she called for spiritual support which is quite natural. and in facing this atrocity their humanity is what makes their heart hurt. ur comment was stone cold, ugly and unnatural. change ur handle it doesnt suit u at all.
@@naturecallsanditssobeautiful corruption is only getting worse in the United States and will continue to get worse. Everything bad about the country is getting worse.. inflation (corporate greed), corrupt politicians, corrupt police officers, uninterested educators in our schools. We are doomed.
This is NOT the first time this happened. They just hadn't been exposed. Until now.
Tell them curt and more has happened here . Sooooo many living victims of police abuse and city government and court system abuse . These people here are sooooo sick and when you seek justice they will literally laugh in your face I know from experience. I was dragged out of my home by mpd due to a personal vendetta by a local city employee
Don't believe Memphis acting like this is isolated IT IS NOT and they know this they are not sickbed stuff like this happens not always ending in death happens in Memphis all of the time
@@cinnamonsunshine6331 Not just there, either. NATIONWIDE. Black males are a TARGET!

This definitely wasn’t the first time this group beat a citizen.
Thats Absolutely 100% Correct.
Very corny but true saying ; 'Nobody ever gets caught their first time'🤔
For Sure. They are Monsters.
But their saying it's premeditated. 1 of the officers has a kid with the victims girl.
This is so disturbing at so many different levels. My heart go out to the mother and family. Justice for Tyre.
Nobody descibed what derek shauvin did as heinous & appalling. Just saying.
It is gut wrenching they say it’s worse than the Rodney king video 💔💔💔
@@robertcarli1969 No? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They just caused an entire summer of riots, labeled all police as racist because of his actions and then threw him in prison for life. But other than that
Delusional police believe they are bestowed God-given ultimate authority over man is the work of Satan and Narcissism, not Romans 13 or of God!
Thousands of police officers are convicted yearly of rape/other sex crimes, assault, domestic violence, murder, perjury, planting of drugs and evidence, etc...
Police are far removed from honesty, and Biblical scripture as the east is from the west!! (Police don't make heaven!).

@Leo Augustus you need psychiatric help.
Please let's get Justice for this family, this is HISTORY repeating itself
This is disgusting. It is disgusting that they lowered the standards for hiring police. That chief should be gone!
This doesn’t look like police beating him this looks like a gang beat down just like the beating of Rodney King. It only takes one to do the right thing yet not one of them tried to make it stop. Heartbreaking and so vile.
Rest In Peace Tyre and my most sincere condolences to his family, friends and loved ones.
More like Black on Black crime if you ask me! 🙁
this was a targeted hit, it should come out in the trial but who knows if it does. but One of the Officers found out that Tyre was having a relationship with the officers partner..
Every cop car should have a private citizen auditor in it.
Don’t resist arrest…what an idiot Good job officers! Get these thugs off the streets! He got what he deserved!
Don’t resist arrest…what an idiot Good job officers! Get these thugs off the streets! He got what he deserved!
That amount of pain he must’ve experienced is heartbreaking. I can not imagine the agony he was in to be beaten to the end of his life. Pure evil and sick!
The Memphis police have a worse reputation than Chicago has. It’s on you tube where the guy determined Memphis to be the most dangerous city to visit.
I agree you feel that way & see why. And the reason you can't imagine it, is the reason why women shouldn't be in positions of power....like the black woman chief.
Women aren't cut for this...., just as you said your feelings. This is where a man comes on and says why this wouldn't happen under his watch. I'm sick and
tired of seeing people suffer in the streets.....and have diversity hires, when a woman should be at home raising children. Sickening.
He was beaten to death for sleeping with the police officer's wife. I'm sure he would have never even thought about doing that if he had even the slightest hint they were going to kill him for it.
@@servant4473 I'd just worry about not raising your boys to become grown boys with a womans mentality & never becoming a man. I would introduce your boys to their fathers. If they don't have one, find a white man to be a role model. A strong right wing one. Not a pussy liberal that goes along with white guilt & all that weird shit.
Because it seems black people need not only strong black men...but they need to stop listening to the democrat whites that have put you on that plantation since the 60's. Be strong black people like before civil rights. Your own communities & business. No victimhood, that'll only slow you down.
LISTEN> LISTEN> Don't worry about black women. They're the destroyers of the black man that can lead you out of your communities misery. NO MORE BLACK MOMMA BOYS!
Meh he wasnt healthy
This is so disturbing and sad, hearts go out to his family.
Even worse is that, you know since they did this, they're definitely corrupt and probably stole drugs and money from people they pulled over or arrested ( some to use themselves, some to resell). And they definitely took bribe as well I'm sure of it.
Despicable. Words cannot express how i feel.
My condolences to his family. May he RIP.
Cop car was unmarked this needs to be said by the media
I'm guessing you were not there!
Which would suggest you know this through the media!
@@bensims7501 There's VIDEO pig licker.
@@bensims7501 it doesn't matter if they got it from the media, that should change too.

I think they should stop having unmarked cars, I need the car and the policeman to be identified!!! When they approach me
5 on 1 that's really sick.
That man did nothing wrong he didn't deserve to die. I hope the parents gets justice for their child.
It's so sad...
@@rickyalvarez5903 that is a hurtful heartless thing to say to a woman who lost her son...
@@rickyalvarez5903 I support law enforcement but don't support officers killing someone for no reason the guy didn't have a weapon so why did they have to beat him to death? I don't understand why it took five officers to arrest one man. They could have handled it without beating the guy to death.
The Tyre Nichols case is being swept under the rug.
The way he call his mom for help give me choose bumps because he knows he's not gonna make it.
😢this is so tragic and needs to stop! As a mother, hearing his cry’s for his momma, sends an internal pain in my body. My heart breaks for his family, and especially his child.
The cops where I live routinely have their dash cams and body cams turned off. In fact, many of them spend most of their shifts staring at their smartphone screens.
@@Scorch1028 this breaks my heart and infuriates me at the same time. There’s some evil in this world for sure. I can’t comprehend how 5 individuals can do this. It all scares me anymore knowing what world we live in can be so dark and disgusting.

yeah that was the saddest part......29 years old in this day in age is still a young man....

Are bobbies in the UK allowed to carry firearms?
@@Scorch1028 no not normal police officers only Authorised firearms officers. But we still have police brutality and we recently had a unarmed young man shot down
@@Scorch1028 Only when dealing with a already violent situation, normal cops arrive first then call for Armed Response Unit if they feel it’s necessary
@Gig Galaxy I don’t know nor care where u live but OMG!! ur outlook & “know it all” attitude is shocking to the extremeeeeeeee. I was brought up with parents who believed that if u wear a uniform then u deserve respect, I believe that if they were alive now it would be a different story. You have a very poor opinion about English people. I’m not worried about your opinions on me but I’m curious as to why u judge people as if they’re “All tarred with the same brush”???. 🧐
@Jackie you are spot on there , It’s mainly knife crime atm , It’s getting like I’m afraid to watch the news , not for myself. I’ve had my battles!! I’ll face whatever but when 2 boys admit murdering a girl by stabbing her over & over again my heart bleeds. 🙏🏼♥️🥰
The death penalty should be dealt out for police brutality, 5 on 1 will certainly have the worst outcome. He couldn’t even run to save himself it’s unbelievable what happened to him. Riep brother condolences to his family and friends.

In prison, one hopes that these men will be welcomed with the kind of "loving" that is specially reserved for their ilk.
The cop who said "I hope they stomp him" should be fired and never be a cop again.
This was a police brutality issue - not a race one.

When she said that they said that he was

Lived in Memphis for a number of years. All I can say is that this is the city in which Dr. King was murdered.
Montgomery Alabama ??
Well , where not saying this was racism are we ? The city didn't kill him either the government did and they killed him because he started to speak out about the veitnam war .
@James Brennan I got no clue what your point is !! I'm thinking it happened in Alabama but you said memphis !!
@@paulca3321 I'm pretty sure it happened in Memphis almost positive and the comment was for the comment above and it's pretty clear what I'm saying
Not only are they cruel wicked killers they are completely indifferent to the plight of their own people
They are a reflection of the mentality in their police dept and of the "unofficial training" they get on the job. The way they acted afterwards tells you, they were not too worried about what they had done.
Can you imagine calling a unit by that name scorpion, leaves a lot to be desired unbelievable shit, they all should be ashamed of themselves, they all need long jail time without the possibility of parole, also let some justice be served in jail..
The district attorney called him a “suspect” then corrected himself. Then he used distancing language like “serious injuries were experienced”. This is part of why this happened, it keeps getting understated in various ways and there is a disconnect that makes justice foreign.
Come on where have you been that's how you have to talk . We don't go by public opinion. You are innocent until someone can prove that you are guilty. Even with that video yes even with that video.
They are worried about the lawsuits that are coming. So they have to choose their words with that in mind.
My heart goes out to Tyre’s mother and all of his family. It doesn’t matter what race these officers are because they’re animals! If they didn’t have their uniforms on they look like a gang and I can’t believe they were even granted bail. If they weren’t cops they would have been held without bond till their trials. RIP Tyre❤
It matters hugely what race they are: every major metropolitan city in the US would soon be subjected to billions of dollars worth of property damage if those cops had been white. Dodged a bullet there!
Don’t resist arrest…what an idiot Good job officers! Get these thugs off the streets! He got what he deserved!
Agree with everything you said apart from 'animals'. Animals only kill to survive, not for kicks.
Exactly, right all the way.
@@kristoff6333
I agree💯
What makes it so bad, is they are going to make examples of these brothers, they never go after the white cops that quick.
Unfortunately true, but this will hopefully set some precedence and change the way these cases are prosecuted in the future.
All black cops involved are now out on bail so thats bs. Black people need to hold some accountability for killing their own instead of blaming white people for once, that's why no one takes the black community seriously
@@roy5k2 Crime and poverty are directly linked. People who are disenfranchised, marginalized and treated like second class citizens might feel they have little options and that joining the criminal entity is the only way to survive. Lack of education plays a big part also. The imported Afrjcans were definitely kept illiterate and severely punished if they were caught learning to read. And yes that was in the time of slavery but attitudes do trickle down and there are still a lot of unspoken biases against the black man. Unfortunately his physical strength often induces fear. It's not about blaming the white man but the legal and economic system that supports discrimination.
Why , I want to know why, they did this to him…..I’m so sick I couldn’t finish watching the brutality.
There is also a gang membership of people who the police recruits as officers, this also needs to be looked into
I worked in Memphis a couple times way back in the 1980's and I recall some Memphis cops carried those full size riot sticks, not the regular ones you see and you could feel the menacing vibe from them sometimes. I don't recall any Black cops but if that's the culture, it takes on a life of its own.
You mean because they have to deal with people that decide to break the law? Yes, those people should be afraid of police.
I know... too bad the cops were not white. Darn!
@@Greghh1960 it doesn't matter if the cops are black or white. Tyre's case demonstrates the mindset of police in general in regard to human rights and life. It's not just white police. It's the police culture.

There had to be an environment in which this kind of behaviour was their norm. I’m certain they had done this before but it just hadn’t ended in death. Their behaviour as Tyre lay there showed them without realisation of their inhumanity. Their indifference to his suffering was noticeably inhumane. Nobody had held them accountable up to this point which allowed it to escalate to this death.
It's called corruption, abuse of power!!!
Maybe he should’ve listened to lawful commands then .

Concisely put…
Yeah, that environment is called _police culture_
@@davemartino5997 he should have listened to lawful commands? WTF
The whole makeup of the Police in the US has to change from the mentality of a Police "FORCE" to a police "SERVICE". Nothing will change until this approach to policing changes.

Totally agree with your comment I also feel physically sick , my heart is breaking seeing this , and know will not even be able to sleep tonight thinking what that poor innocent boy went through and also how his family are feeling 💔 my heart is hurting xxxx
What happened to Felony Murder. Because someone died in the commencement of a Felony.
He didn't die. HE WAS MURDERED by Memphis police officers & not only did nobody step in & say this is WRONG, not only did nobody call for backup to protect Tyre, NOT 1 officer gave him aid. NOT ONE! To add further insult, those murdering bastards were GRANTED BOND! Fire EVERYONE INVOLVED, Inc the person/ ppl who granted bond AND the DA who agreed to bond! 😡 👿
And the 2 paramedics should get charged because they were there just standing around not trying to help him. They should get incarcerated as well.
Because if you were there...... 🦸♂️
they were probably afraid for their lives.

Well, your country is so sick ,sick, sick....whathever we read,hear or see, your country is doomed ! and the enemy is within ! I am sorry to see that you will destroy yourself ! In Guns We Trust you say !!!!!!! There is nothing comparable here in Canada !
And to do it out in the open for anyone to see and on camera! Something has to change, the issue with law enforcement is systemic at this point. I don't care what your intentions are when you join a police force, the senior officers are going to influence you and teach you their ways. Something needs to change, drastically. We've done things their way for long enough, obviously it isn't working and body cameras were not enough of a deterrent to keep them honest.
Right on Amber ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 I love her realness& the fight against police brutality period
Although I hate what happened to Tyre Nicols. This woman is full of shit. Where is she when we are killing each other. That happens all the time and there's no Amber or her realness. She's not standing up for the black fathers that wants to be a part of their children lives. It's a one way show with these activist.
Why is it that a black person murdered by the police , have to be filmed on camera before any action is taken in this country `? It's as if , when we as black people report the wrong doings of the police , our words are only believed once recorded ? How many films must be made before the government , the states or local police start to believed our complains and listen ? It's as if the half of the population of black people in America must first go into the streets and protest the mistreatment and murdering of our people , before America even start to listen . When we are protesting , then we labeled as thugs , or crimmals destorying property or even playing the race card . Playing the race card ? In America ? WOW !
All we want is the rights to live our lives are human being , a fair paying job and a safe home to raise our family . What we as black people want and desire is no different from what most Americans are afforded by the American Government . So , America please tell us that what we are asking of you , is it too much ?

When will this stop? If not now, When??
We can all blame the fascist right-wing (GOP) and police unions. Every day, they take it as their job to not just stop this nation from making any progress, but to actually regress us to the horrors of the past - horrors of the present such as this are not enough for them!
In defense of "good cops", in most police agencies, cops who do their jobs with professionalism and integrity are "not allowed" to comment publicly on police misconduct within their own department. So, now every cop in the Memphis PD has been thrown under the bus, including the black female police chief who has publicly denounced the behavior of the 5 officers under her, who have been fired and charged with murder.
@@Jimmy1982Playlists
Always somebody else's fault, isn't it?
To answer your question, never. It's too late, what's done is done, and they should have never done that hundreds or thousands of years ago - started discrimination/enslavment. History is strong and it persists, the only way to undo history is to completely eradicate society and start with "Adam and Eve" all over again.

Before the sun goes down they will be doing it somewhere else in another city in a few minutes
A very fucked up and disturbing reality

“Humanize being black” on her shirt. 5 black men dehumanized another black man. Soooo…why is this being ignored? This has layers to it. And should be explored deeper.
Blk men do this to each other daily
Cops don't care who they beat and kill...bit I bet these black cops will get max time compared to white cops who have doing this 4ever...right???
I thought they were Blue?
No joy in that. Black have to play victim of the white man did it. Well, that's how they talk. Black on black is bad publicity..brother. Not able to claim black lives matter if they don't believe it themselves.
They lady they interviewed is an idiot and ideologue.
So they get to bail out of jail…well,well,. That is sick. Why the hell were they released??😡😡😡😡
Only because they are cops they can just go work at another police dept while they are found not guilty at the end. The norm in USA killing people only based on color.
They weren't charged because they were under investigation they were let off of their Duty without pay. They were never bailed out the charges are pending and they should be in jail probably by the end of this week so stop being a fake narrative
Yeh bizarre that isn't it what a joke, fear not, the Devil will come for them all
Blu clux clan gonna look out for eachother
Could be a set up! Release and leave them to suffer at the hands of the public.
The fact that you could see this poor child fighting for his life and no one cared,breaks my heart.what else have they done before this incident? The whole police department needs to be fired. I am a mother of two black males and three grandsons. The same age my heart breaks. This is every black mother’s reaction. Every state needs a Lynching museum because every state in America and the rest of the world as of black and brown you are children being lynched this is lynching in modern day society.
Fantastic work! Put them in prison!
Bail is too low. These men are dangerous!
"Official Oppression".. key charge. ANY police officer violating this penal code should mean they immediately lose their Qualified Immunity, which also needs to be taught to all police cadets in a very strict way, as a part of police training. If you violate a person's civil or constitutional rights, you're finished. Period. If you're a government worker, you work for the public and are therefore a public servant. That's what people pay taxes for, not to be oppressed instead. They need to be reminded who they work for and why.
Agree completely, well stated.
It's funny you mention that because in other countries that are not the United States, police officers such as in Korea, are actually considered public servants and they do serve the people and have no greater Authority or power over them besides helping them.
@@trophyscene5015 - Well, there's still a difference between a Communist country like North Korea and a Free country like the USA. True, we don't live in an authoritarian dictatorship and those Korean public servants may seem like nice people, but if they were told to put all first born male children into a blender, they would have to follow the orders or it would mean their own skin. Incidentally, they must all listen to daily orders through a radio system and they also have a weekly ceremony where they must all weep before a statue of their 'dear leaders'. If you don't shed a tear, you're seen as being disgraceful. So there's a different moral structure to take into consideration as well. Think of it like the peak of Socialism where the bread doesn't wait for you, rather you wait in line for the bread instead. It's the reverse of Capitalism or a Capitalist system like in the USA. So again, not only a different moral structure, but political too. Basically, either you be nice or you pay the price.. and by price I mean the alternative is hte person could face life in a work camp or they could get the firing squad. In the USA though, it isn't that extreme. You be nice and not act like a tyrant, not because you're under force to do so, but because it's your duty as a public servant. Simple. Just don't be an idiot. Be kind, be polite and do your job. Period. On the other hand, if someone wants to be a violent a-hole, then we can take it up a notch. Other than that, free speech. Say whatever you want, but just watch where you put your hands. No hands on. That's the rule. A weapon only in case of fear of death or bodily harm. Otherwise, hands off. That means tasers as well. Use only your words unless someone goes hands on. If they touch you, then it's a mistake. That's the rule. No hands on.
@@garyangelone9953 - I get your point.. and the US does have a lot more serious issues with things like too many chemicals in the foods and whatever else, I totally agree. Those things probably do kill more than anything else, especially food additives, sodiums, neurological flavor enhancers, preservatives, etc.. which have gotten far more deadly than almost anything right now and definitely killing more than police ever would. However, as for the legal system in the US or 'simply' being arrested, let's just say that giving an inch would lead to authority eventually taking a mile.. and in a lot of ways, they already have. So that's why there's something in place called Due Process, which prevents police from being the Judge/Jury and Executioner on the street. Without it, we'd have a full blown dictatorship with Nazis running around executing people in the back of the head for whatever they think is a good reason. Not gonna happen I'm afraid.. and if ever did get close to that, there would be a bloodbath the likes of which the media couldn't even ever handle because it would be at their own back door as well. Nope, this isn't N.Korea.. or Canada where they disarmed everyone either.. and it wont be, but rather this is the place where the founding fathers came, who were seen as outlaws escaping from the tyranny of the British monarchy. This is where they ended up. That's why they created the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. That's what your dealing with. Time to dig up those old history books. Bet your life on it.. they wont be going down without total Armageddon. It's not gonna happen in this lifetime.
@@ShadovvV I know that North Korea is terrible I was referring to South Korea. Korea isn't just one country, it's split up into two parts.
Yet out on bail...🤬🤬🤬
He reminds of my brother, gentle and sweet. My heart I'd broken this morning 😪
Appreciate your feedback!! Let's talk 👆💝
Thank God for video and the fact that those police officers are being held accountable. I'm sure this has happened countless times in the past and just been covered up because there was no evidence
The sheer fact that they know it's on camera, but aren't bothered. Do they feel justified doing this, or is the lack of concern due to a feeling of protection behind the badge?
@@OldMod67 That badge merely fumigated their wretched heart, which from the beginning was intent on hurting people via oppression.
@@OldMod67 Both... you see in the video them calling in other officers, not worried in the slightest that theyd be punished for this or thought to be excessive - let alone abusive or brutal!
Tragically, the Scorpion Unit is made of up of cops who are jaded and demoralized from dealing with the worst-of-the-worst offenders in Memphis. Thankfully, the Scorpion Unit has been disbanded, but it's frightening to think of how many of other cops in this unit are "still" ticking time bombs, waiting to go completely berserk on the next citizen they stop on the street or in a vehicle.
@@Scorch1028 they need a much better vetting process when they hire new recruits to weed out Potentially bad cops. Also need much better training psychological training as well
God Be the Glory.
You are correct when you say those people were evil. They are not the root of the problem it's always been racist in America that is the problem.
This why I taught my three children do not trust know police officer no matter what race they are when I was a little girl I seen how black cops treated there own race
Imagine what they do when they know we can't see
Exactly imagine what people do when we can't see them.
What's scary is that this happens extremely often considering how much is recorded daily now, but think about before social media and before body cams existed, how much MORE this was happening and we just didn't know or didn't see it. If it happens THIS often with body cams around, hundreds of thousands of men probably died in police brutality attacks, in the early 2000s and prior before things were recorded often.
It's a shame ,my sincere condolences to his family
I can’t wait to see ALL these bastards in court! Including the others that sat and watched and did NOTHING!!!
ILL CALL FOR MY MOMMA
" MOMMA" MOMMA" ..thank you for raising me right..hard working.drug free..God Strong..LAW BIDING...
That is insane. All 5 police officer should have life in prison sentences.
5 police officers beating to death 1 boy, they are monsters.
They sure were quick to take corrective action. I hope the level of urgency s repeated for white officers. God bless the family.
This young man was beaten to death by those police officers for absolutely no valid reason!
It is 💔 heartbreaking to hear him calling for his mother! This kind of treatment by the police has been happening to black people for far too long! They are killing black people every single day!
It's not police brutality it's police terrorism they violated this man human rights but America court system is designed for civil rights this why we need human rights lawyers and attorney's In America to many go along get along people
I can't imagine his mother's heartache.....God be with her and give her strength.
The way these officers were handled should be the standard. I was a child when Rodney King was beaten on camera. Those officers walked.... sending the message that this was acceptable behavior. & so it continued.
Of course the one time charges come so fast in a case like this it _"just so happens"_ to be all black officers... why am I not surprised?!? 🤔
@@Jimmy1982Playlists Well that's what they get for even having a desire to wana mimick the white racist vile demons who call themselves PEACE OFFICERS. Why any blk officer would want to be like them is beyond me!!!!!!!
I HOPE THE WRATH OF GOD COMES SWIFTLY.
Rodney king cops got indicted and convicted of violation of human rights and went to prison.
@@SP-yo5ri Exactly.. But you can't educate the permanently ignorant.
@@Jimmy1982Playlists That could be the case however,its more likely that Steven Mulroy decided they needed to be charged and would have if the color was green. Steven Mulroy changed the bail system where it was affordable. He made it so people get bail hearings in a timely manner. Its actually illegal to not do that. Look up Josh Spickler also. In most citys those cops wouldve gotten desk duty for a week.
It's the law, not just a couple of bad guys. What if there's no video? The court will probably convict the arrested instead of those officers if there's no video.
I wonder the reactions of the parents of these 5 criminals. I appreciate BLM Amber being brave and honest to speak the truth that this type of black on black violence by black police officers against black civilians has existed for years. No one has been brave enough, honest enough to say so. My heart goes out to this mother and family for the horrible loss of her son 🙏🏽❤️✝️
Agree it's not a Race thing it's police issue and Black on Black crime let's talk about and stop making it about Racism
i wish she would actually take on the real enemy of the black population. police is about the lowest level issue.
@user-mz5vz2vn3n it's the white man rather you want to admit or not, it starts there, they taught us to hate our black selves, then we as black people don't see what has taught us, so they continue to hate themselves
@@geminiwoman0 blacks starting slavery they taught you to be bitches rather to get richer learn your history
@davidmcclure7052 show a book that says that I'll read it cause what ive read the white man is the one who drug my Black ancestors here, and yes blacks in Africa sold us to the white man what i read they were tricked into it not knowing the horrors that were about to happen. Now show me a book
When George Floyd call for Mama I screamed and cried. How could such a thing HAPPEN AGAIN!!
because apparently grown men still holler for mama when ish ain't right. there are so many articles written on how this type of B on B crime is a myth. Doesn't look like a myth.
@@markbranstrator9602 Not the right time esau, not the right time.
@@Dispatcher813 Stop giving people with extreme personality disorders the time of day. Ignore them. They have the same mindset as psychopathic cops.
Most of them hate bw but calling on mommy. The irony
He was referring to his girlfriend who he called Mama. He was not meaning his mother. His gf testified it was her he was referring too.
We haven’t ever had a protest that wasn’t peaceful?! Wow. Mostly peaceful means sometimes it’s not.
I hope the cop bystanders will also be charged as accomplices.
Calling for his mom made me a tough ass man, shed a few tears
All this Black on Black crime has to stop!!! We're all tired of hearing about it. Get your sh!t together.
My heart goes out to Tyres mother. I pray she has a loving support system to help her.
So sad...5 cops against 1 man. Prayers for his family.. I'm so sorry can't image the pain. 💔🙏
All “big ass” grown coward’s too! They were all huge compared to the young man Tyre.
@@yolyrom7233 that's terrible..should face serious charges..
Delusional police believe they are bestowed God-given ultimate authority over man is the work of Satan and Narcissism, not Romans 13 or of God!
Thousands of police officers are convicted yearly of rape/other sex crimes, assault, domestic violence, murder, perjury, planting of drugs and evidence, etc...
Police are far removed from honesty, and Biblical scripture as the east is from the west!! (Police don't make heaven!)

The US has no right to criticize anyone, full stop.
whats worst is we use our military to go across the globe and spread our values. we need to be stopped
I said I wasn't gonna watch the full video, but as a black woman I just had to see for myself the type of injustice and police brutality forced up on our people. So I watched it and came to a conclusion. These were not police officers that did this, not by a long shot. These were vigilante street hoods that killed that innocent young man. Thugs. Hood rats. Murderers. Natural born killers. Period. The way they just made up their own version of the story as they went along, with no remorse, and everyone of them went along with it, LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!!!!!
Absolutely disgusting, and a disgrace to the BADGE! And it really sickens me to see the word POLICE sprawled across their backs while kicking that young man in the face, helpless and on the ground. Are you kidding me? Serve and protect? Then they pass him around for each thug to get their kicks in? Unbelievable. I can't even write anymore. Got anxieties just writing this comment. I am just sickened to the core behind this. I cried like a baby seeing that poor sweet mother on CNN about her son, her baby boy calling out to her as he was being beaten by the police, only a block away from home. SMH. I have no more words. 💐Rest in Peace Tyre. 💐God has called you home. No more suffering, no more pain, no more sickness or dying. Rest on sweet brother, enjoy your rest. SAY HIS NAME: TYRE NICHOLS!!!
I want to know HOW these 'officers' got by a BACKGROUND check including the Chief Of Police HERSELF?
that looked like some gang activity.
Called out for help from his mother as well, basically just mobbed by 5 officers and beaten to death. Disturbing & disgusting, I can only imagine how his mother feels. This is not a pleasant world we live in sometimes. May his soul be at peace now on the other side 🙏🌿💔
You need to rethink the word "officers." Murderers is more like it. Pigs is disrespectful to the poor animal by that name. Thugs isn't strong enough. 5 blood thirsty murderers killed an unarmed man!
Why didn't he call for help from his father? Mustve been in one of those father abandoned homes

It so unsafe to be stopped by police when black
The police were black
Especially when the police are black 🤣
It so unsafe for blacks to be around other blacks.
