Tyre Nichols Memorial Fund Raises over $800K in One Day

A GoFundMe page created by Tyre Nichols’ mother raised over $800,000 in one day thanks to donors.

RowVaughn Wells said her son was pulled over for suspected “reckless driving” on January 7 but “There is no evidence to substantiate this claim.”

She continued:

Further, police claim that my son left the scene on foot. It turns out that he was just trying to get to my house for safety — which was only a few blocks away from where the incident happened. My baby was just trying to make it home to be safe in my arms. Tyre was unarmed, nonthreatening, and respectful to police during the entire encounter!

During my son’s interaction with the police, they beat him beyond recognition until he became unconscious. He was then taken to a hospital and immediately placed on life support. He died 3 days later, but I believe that my son died on January 7th, the moment those 5 Black Memphis Police Officers pulled Tyre over and beat him to death for no good reason.

As of Saturday evening, the page had raised $852,504 of its $1,000,000 goal.

On Friday, Memphis officials released video of the traffic stop that resulted in Nichols’ death on January 10, according to Breitbart News.

“The Memphis Police Department released four videos, three of which were from a police officer’s body camera and one was from a street pole camera and contains no audio,” the article said.

At one point, an officer can be heard telling Nichols to get on the ground, to which he replies, “Alright, okay, alright.”

That is just one day, I'll will check after posting this to see what it's up to now.

Plus what do you think they will get out of Memphis after their lawyers are done? I hope they also sue the ex officers as well.

Is this white people’s fault some how?

J6 prisoners continue to rot in the DC gulag. Hanoi Hilton prisoners were treated better.

[immadashell]

Any breakdown on the races of the donors?

[Mozzafiato]

This man did not deserve that beating and death. By every account I’ve read he never had any interactions with law enforcement or committed any crimes.

Another Amish Family cashing in on a troubled youth .
The Trevon investment strategy.

[Morgana]

Normally I’d agree with you but this time it was the cops being gangsters. Tyre was just driving home. So far they have not proved Tyre was doing anything wrong. His family and son deserve every last red cent.

[gov_bean_ counter]

With Ben Crump representing the family you can count on it.

[HamiltonJay]

Those cops behaved as little more than mobsters that night…. I feel for their families… but whatever legal avenues are available to go after them should be.

The larger issue is, is there a bigger problem in Memphis? How do you get to a situation where 5 cops all think it’s okay to do that, this isn’t one or two cops lost their temper in the hear of the moment… clearly they had an air of impunity around them. Need to get to the bottom of what is going on in Memphis, and anywhere else, that this kind of mentality can not only fester but dominate.

[HamiltonJay]

Sorry but take your blame the victim bs and stuff it.

Those “cops” behaved as nothing more than organized crime mobsters that night.

Period

[ncalburt]

So how is fundraising for money going make it better again ?
This family want to sue the EMTs too .

EMTs do not go into dangerous situations to get killed .

The lawyers are ready lined up and its the
Trevon law firm .

A white kid Named Long was stomped to death in Amherst NY by a bunch of drunk off duty cops .
The Family did not Fundraise off his horrible death .
I knew the Family .

[ncalburt]

Sorry , the mindset of Fundraising off a death is bizarre.
Its a strange mindset of this century .
Money will solve the pain .

Its a Callous way to milk the Media Driven Victim Society .

I know someone who was killed by drunken off duty cops by being stomped to death.
The family did not fundraise off his death .

[HamiltonJay]

Sorry, but you are just throwing out blame the victim BS..

Take it as shove it where the Sun don’t shine.

You didn’t offer a criticism of fundraising you offered up a whole lot of victim blaming covered with a sizable helping of racist innuendo.

You think this and the Travon Martin case are anything alike?

It’s clear a whole lot of folks on this sight need to spend a few more Sundays in the Lord’s house.

[EQAndyBuzz]

“Is this white people’s fault some how?”

Leftists already said that. But things are quieting down now that black officers are involved in the killing. Wonder how much BLM contributed?

[FlingWingFlyer]

Well, I think somebody needs to start a GoFundMe page for all of the Snowflakes and princesses Gone Wild student loan deadbeats who want the taxpayers to pay for their college party vacations. JMO. GoFundMe seems to be able to raise tons of money from people who “ain’t got no money.”

Jason Whitlock Says:

‘Tyre Nichols Beating “Looked Like What Young Black Men Do When They‘re Supervised by a Single Black Woman”

“And this is a story about young black men and their inability to treat each other in a humane way. Everybody involved in this on the street level was either 24 to 32 years old, everybody. It was a group of young black men, five-on-one. It looked like gang violence to me. It looked like what young black men do when they’re supervised by a single black woman, and that’s what they’ve got going on in the Memphis Police Department.”
