Stop hurting people. They aren’t in control of their actions. People can’t seem to understand that their community and country helped this cop beat that man. They held Tyre Nichols down and beat him. This man was just the vessel.

Police are suppose to protect and serve civilians, however these guys showed no regard for human life at all. Prayers for the mother and family of the victim 💔

I seen a video on Utube that Tyre was involved with one of the cops’ wives. This would explain why he was pulled over in the first place. Also why he told the cops that they were taking this too far. If this is true, then that cop should be charged with first degree premediated murder. RIP Tyre.

This is why cops get a bad reputation. This act of brutality over a woman isn’t the first time men get into fights. This has been happening since time began. The problem is cops using that badge and gun to take out their vengeance on another man. If they take steriods it makes them mean and full of rage. All cops should have medical and psychiatric evaluations yearly!
