I'm a caucasian man, but I don't like and allow any kind of racism! I believe in freedom and democracy and equality between all people !
When you have a society that is lawless and cheats during elections, why be surprised when lawlessness invades law enforcement like these cops and the FBI and DOJ? Shameful in general, terrible in this incident.
These cops need to “STOP” being so aggressive and violent! It’s very sad that he lost his life like that. My heart goes to his families. RIP😢
He got away because he felt his life in danger. Fear is a monster this remind me of the police office the monster who killed Sandra Bland. He beat her caused he to bump her head on the ground he lied on her big time. So cops lie, and when the camera don’t work is when they disconnect to do dirt. I think police should have a degree so they know their boundaries but it should be common sense what boundaries are……
Why does 5 officers need to beat a man? Certainly it will only take 2 to retrain him. What is the purpose for this brutality of another human?
They should be in jail for lifeeeee
Those police were thugs for sure. No need for that kind of escalation. My heart goes out to the family. Seemed like a good kid.
My heart breaks while watching this!
THE FACT THAT INDIVIDUALS CAN BEHAVE THIS WAY IS SO DISGUSTING , NOT EVEN ANIMALS BEHAVE THIS CRUEL , LET ALONE POLICE OFFICERS, WE HAVE TO UPGRADE THE QUALITY OF OUR POLICE FORCE, WE HAVE TO CHOSE WELL EDUCATED INDIVIDUALS AS IT IS SHOWN WELL EDUCATED INDIVIDUALS ARE LESS VIOLENT AS THEY CHOSE REASONING OVER VIOLENCE.
No chants of BLM this time. The black cops were reacting to the black criminal’s non compliance. Had the suspect placed his hands behind his back like he was asked 100 times nothing would have happened. Race was never the issue. BLM!
BLM? Does that apply in this case? I guess race is not the issue. It must be that criminals don’t comply.
Who was the white guy…where's his mugshot?
Where is father?
Broken so called black culture, no father in house to tech respect..
This is just too painful to see or to contemplate. Our inhumanity towards each other will be our total undoing.
unbelievable, are these the police officers we are supposed to be saved by?? officers who laugh after beating a man to death??
I feel for his mother. Rip to Tyre 🙏🏾 this is so unfair
Both civilians and criminals need more training as to how to react when cops stop you or pulls you over. What I see is the root cause of all the deaths are RUNNING away or RESISTING the orders from cops.
Police officers are killed during routine traffic stops, and for this reason, officers will always approach as though you are dangerous.
1… slow down, pull over asap in a safe place. place the car in park, turn off the ignition, roll down your window, place your hands on the steering wheel where they can be seen, at night, turn on the interior light. Do not make any other motions
2… Greet the officer , and say nothing else. Let the Officer Do the Talking Wait for instructions and always be polite, definitely a situation in which it does not hurt to be polite.
Thank God for the bodycam and the other camera or they probably would have gotten away with this despicable, senseless killing of this young man! May God comfort the mother and family!
What. This is black police men beating to death a black man. They’re both black. It’s a mirror image and not the reverse of the Rodney along thing. Is this worse than Rodney King or the same?
News flash this all happened because one of the officers was 💢😡 mad because he was sleeping with their BABY MOMMA'S SMFH WHICH MAKES THIS WHOLE THING PERSONAL
I'm so tired of this. An I'm so tired of people arguing over the reasons. We are better than this. All of us. The guys hadn't the capacity to be aware that it could be considered anything but a thing to brag about. There's something very wrong in the air these days.
So sick of the monstrous behavior of these pigs.
I feel sorry for his mom .. it's very painful to see her son get beaten like that ..
😢😢😢 God Bless you Tyre. Talented handsome young man. Your life will wake up this country.
Sad thing is….nothing will change. There will be another Tyre Nichols, and another, and another, and another, and another, and….
My condolences to Tyre Nichols family.
I am truly saddened by this story. My sincere condolences from England, UK.
I can’t imagine knowing I’m going to die … cus he knew
Show the video
Those cops need the death sentence that kid did not deserve this omg
Apparently, Tyre was dating a woman who is the ex girlfriend of Demetrius Haley. Tyre and the woman worked together at Federal Express. Demetrius Haley took a picture of beaten Tyre and sent it to his baby momma, this is disgusting behavior.
It is not Martin Luther King we need to listen to. It is Jesus Christ. Only changed hearts of men will bring change in the world.
What a disgusting environment we live in
This has been marked inappropriate? How do you do that?
I hate the word stepfather. That was his father he raised him somewhere along the line of his life.
What these cops did was wrong and inhumane and should not of happened these cops should never be able to work again and be in jail for life 😭 prayers 🙏 for his family God and Jesus bless them and hug them now ❣️ it's hard whatch the video breaks my heart 💔
Memphis;' ..just cant get it right;
I'm so sorry for her loss, Biden poisoned those minds of the officers. ALL HAIL TRUMP!!!
Try calling out black culture first. And I'm not talking about Tyre..he seemed like a cool guy
Lets not forget, they also tried to insinuate he was high on drugs when he's suffering life threatening injuries.
