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.'

A rather inconvenient truth to some industries..
Well actually I can. But it just sounds good to say that.
Let them burn down their own own neighborhoods. Fk ‘em. Bring that to our side of town and it’s whole different kettle of fish.
It really isn’t a race thing. It’s just a rage thing by an emotionally driven culture. They don’t think at all. Just react to things.
When was acting like a rabid feral beast considered to be a privilege?!?
And the cops lied about it! They said the man stepped outside, confronted them and verbally accosted them, but camera footage from a hidden camera the cops put in the house showed him opening the door, standing there peacefully and asking them what was going on, and then they shot him!
it was horrific...
Lately you see it in the “Cops” episodes.
Perp: “I can’t breathe.”
Cop: “Yeah well you just led us on a mile long sprint. I can’t breathe either!”
;-)
It’s becoming that only idiots would remain living in a Democrat city.
And they are releasing the footage because????
Must be some law the sick evil bastards sub human scum passed requiring it.
They don't care. You know, I have far more respect for blacks when they marched in the 1950s and rioted in the 1960s, because they were truly getting screwed over.
Now, thanks to the Great Society programs and Obama, you have blacks rioting and committing crimes if they so much as get pulled over (even though most have a criminal record) on an unprecedented scale now. And to say that they're being oppressed is laughable.
If you want to help black people in urban areas, the following must be done pronto:
(1) Get rid of all welfare, food stamp and housing programs, which would force them to behave more responsibly and end having multiple kids by different fathers
(2) Federal executions of drug dealers
(3) Black teenagers at-risk should be pulled from schools and given vocational training with skills in addition to getting a GED or HSED
(4) End the stupid Earned Income Tax Credit, which people are getting money for not paying any taxes
(5) End illegal immigration, so that blacks can work in agriculture and other jobs that illegals are doing
It’s getting out of hand. It’s just allowed to happen, and that’s disgusting! Where are this time period’s rooftop Koreans? This seems like a moment for them.
Every time a Building is lit on fire you do fire a Shot
Every time a Storefront Window is broken, you do fire a Shot
Every time a Car is lit on fire, You do fire a Shot
If it’s a Police Car you do fire 2 Shots
Laws, courts and police forces were created mainly to prevent citizens from taking matters into their own hands out of necessity in the absence of justice. Fiddling with this arrangement is risky.
The right to self protection is fundamental to all creatures and is a natural law.
The FBI is putting out piles of bricks at this moment.
sounds a BIT planned. I wanna see black on black riots. This could be a first?
It’s an insurrection!
Any excuse to get some new shoes.
