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.'

This is what we’re doing now. We, as a society, are just accepting the wildings. We’re just letting it happen. We are tacitly accepting that the children are going to throw a tantrum that results in literal death and destruction. Un-freaking-real. Spineless!

Let me get this straight:

Black cops brutalized black suspect, so the blacks are going to riot against white oppression?

O.....K......

Rules for Spectators of Peaceful Protesting

Every time a Building is lit on fire you do a Shot
Every time a Storefront Window is broken, you do a Shot
Every time a Car is lit on fire, You do a Shot
If it’s a Police Car you do 2 Shots

There was a disabled white man who was shot 7 times by the cops and no one rioted. Hell, there was barely any news coverage of it.

Just saying that there's privilege out there, and it sure as Hell ain't white people having it.

Law Enforcement will accept the wildings. But part of me wishes that a militia would show up and just put down the rioting in such a way that all the little rascals would say to themselves, “I’m never doing that again.”

And if Law Enforcement wanted to speak to the militia, it might be nice if Law Enforcement walked away, saying to themselves, “I’m never doing that again.”

Defund the police and create a national gestapo employing BLM/Antifa jackboots.

I have a better plan involving “shots” -

Every time a building is lit on fire, 10 thugs get shot
Storefront - 10
car - 10
Police car - 50

This will give BLM an excuse to loot and burn their neighborhoods.

BLM and Antifa get college credit for rioting....they call it “activism” and “social change”.

Let’s pop some popcorn and watch them burn down their own crappy neighborhoods. Then whine when there’s nothing left.

Don’t you get it?????

We all killed him. That is why the protest is nationwide. . . . / sarc

The commie Rats want the violence. They want some on our side to shoot a few of them dead. It will invite a civil lockdown and and extended period of martial law. This is why we MUST clean up the elections, else our freedom is toast.
