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.'

2 Shots

12 Guage or 357 Magnum?

[PapaBear3625]

When was acting like a rabid feral beast considered to be a privilege?!?

The word "privilege" comes from Latin "privi lege" "private law", meaning that if you are privileged, then you are subject to a different set of rules than the regular people.

This perfectly describes our various "protected groups"

[lightman]

Antifa + BLM + ISIS = new Axis of EVIL

[plain talk]

Doesn’t it seem a bit racist to presume that there will be riots when a black person is killed by police but no riots when a white person is killed by police?

[PghBaldy]

I wonder if the bodycam footage shows the faces of the officers, or will stupid potential rioters assume they were white no matter what?

[tired&retired]

Is this the beginning of a perfect storm that will lead to military rule, at least around cities?

[tired&retired]

Add to that all the terrorists that crossed the border.

[tired&retired]

“If Deep State wants riots, there’ll be riots.”

BINGO

This is a distraction that will get out of hand. The storm is beginning.

[gundog]

State of the Union address coming up.....

[ronnie raygun]

Want to know who was behind this beating leading to this, seems all to planned once again

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Will they pixel out the cops so you can’t tell what “race, creed, color or national origin” they are?

[wastedyears]

4-6% of the US population commits half the violent crime.

[tired&retired]

“Cops(black) in Memphis killed a guy, so Atlanta and DC are going to chimp out?
That makes sense...”

Great observation. The Soros army is starting their invasion.

[DCBryan1]

No whites involved = No riots.

Ha! The media has its own narrative. Let me help you figure it out:

The militia movement had the chance of a lifetime in ‘20… they were very underwhelming.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

If a private citizen shoots a rioter he will be arrested and tried.

If one thousand private citizens shoot rioters whom will they arrest?

[Salman]

So every time a black is killed, nationwide rioting like 2020?

The new normal, see?

[bicyclerepair]

2 x 12ga. seems like better coverage than 2 solid chunks of lead.

[EEGator]

Police your brass, don’t call the cops, don’t carry anything electronic on you.

[Hot Tabasco]

So who is behind all this planning and why aren’t they being arrested like those Michigan militia dudes who only planned to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer?
