lol true and at 6’3 and 270? He could break my bed frame any night 😂
Too bad he ruined his future by doing this. You’d think he’d see himself in another brother, but he let the power trip get to his head and now he’s got to pay the consequences. Smh

After viewing the video, all five of those officers should get the maximum time after their conviction by the court. And when they go to prison, a photo of Tyre where he is lying in the hospital dying by the hands of those officer, should be pasted on the wall in each of those officers cell block.

I hope they put them with general population so those men can do what they did to Tyre to them. They better hope nobody go after their family

What about the police chief and the D A and internal affairs and all others that possibly knew these were bad cops. They should also be investigated. People all over the country should stay in the streets protesting until the feds do something drastic to stop the murders of black and brown people. As a 50 year activist, I say the masses of people in the streets can change things and nothing else will, as we’ve seen.
