America on edge: Protests are planned nationwide over Tyre Nichols bodycam video - as Georgia Gov. Kemp activates 1,000 National Guard troops, district cancels all after-school activities and security is ramped up at Capitol Hill

Government officials are calling for calm ahead of the planned nationwide protests over the Tyre Nichols bodycam footage, which will be released tonight, as the Georgia governor activated 1,000 National Guard troops and Capitol Hill amped up security.

Many cities, including Memphis and New York City, are gearing up to protest after the gruesome footage, which has been described as worse than Rodney King, on the Memphis Police Department's YouTube page at 7pm. Police are releasing the footage later a night to allow people to get home beforehand.

Nichols, 29, was brutally beaten like a 'human piñata' by five Memphis, Tennessee, police officers, who were all African American, on January 7 and died three days later in the hospital from kidney failure and cardiac arrest.

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, 59, has declared a state of emergency until Tuesday, February 9. Kemp called in the National Guard following an anti-cop protest last weekend in Atlanta after an environmental activist died and said Georgia is 'closely monitoring the events in Memphis.'

Capitol Hill also amped up security in anticipation of widespread protests. President Joe Biden, 80, has called for calm ahead of the video release and said Nichols' death is a 'painful reminder' that the US' justice system has seen many 'fatal encounters with law enforcement [that] have disparately impacted black and brown people.'

Planned by who? Funded by who? Command and control by who?

We all know who is ultimately behind this crap, head punk Obama and his sidekick, Eric Holder.

Amazingly he survived. If you live in Cherokee County , North Carolina what does that say about the skill level of your sheriff’s department?

Sounds like the token natives are scheduled by their DNC massahs to be restless all weekend. The Walmarts will be smokin’ and burning down. Lots of looting and burning police cars. Dumbass Whitey the “white supremacist” will be standing there watching and taking selfies.

It’s like J6 all over again. This will ignite a fake movement that the Deep State will use to drown out the egregious law breaking of Democrats across the country.

Your attention required.

White people, in the US, are slaughtered everyday by black psychopaths, yet it barely makes the news.

I can't breathe

Actually I'm holding mine in anticipation of all the "must see TV" that tonight promises. Too bad the "authorities" are waiting for darkness to release this. I would enjoy some helicopter video of the festivities a la LA 1992

Releasing the video in a Friday night is the height of stupidity,

The “anticipation of widespread protests” is irrational. Simply arrest the leaders of lawbreakers.

Well, GW Bush was inaugurated as President over the objections of the democratic party which thought Al Gore should be the rightful President. They claimed the election was stolen with the assistance of the Supreme Court. Very like Trump, the dems did their best to cripple his Presidency from the very beginning.

I get your point, but it’s not as if being ‘free for the weekend’ is all that big a deal for the ones who are likely gong to be doing the rioting.

Let’s see here.

Black young man.
Gets beaten by 5 black cops.
In a black majority city.
Blacks will now BLM (burn, loot and murder)

But this is all whitey’s fault.

Have I got this right?
