Earlier on Friday, PJ Media’s Kevin Downey Jr. mused whether Nichols’ death would be “George Floyd 2.0,” and it appears that may be the case.
Naturally, the left is blaming “white supremacy,” even though the police officers who beat Nichols to death are also black.
So Joy Reid’s guest says it white supremacy is the cause of the death of a young man!!! If @realDonaldTrump was still in office we would be in a hell of a better place!!! @MSNBC is so racist also!!! The young man didn’t need to die of course. #dontcry pic.twitter.com/I6RLQ7MpwU

who’s the moron who decided to release this on a friday? Can this be anymore of a setup?
Peaceful protests don’t work. Never have. The people telling you to protest peacefully are the ones who benefit from things staying as they are.
To change things, you need leverage. You need something they want. “We want you to stop burning our cities,” for example#TyreeNichols

The LA Police Department should STAY HOME.
Take off your paramilitary weaponry and sit down.
Protests only turn deadly when the police show up.— Andrew M. Byrne (@AMorganByrne) January 28, 2023
If they’re destroying property and burning and looting, shoot them.
That’s not a protest, that’s not demanding justice, that’s outright anti-civilian behavior and it needs to be stopped for the safety of the citizens that OBEY THE LAW.
Protesters in Memphis have shut down the I-55 bridge. #TyreeNichols #Protests
Mainhighway in city
Totally organized
Has the FBI put out piles of bricks for them too?
What????? Stop dem voters ?????
I’m so glad I live out in the woods of Northern WI.
Why did they even wait for the release of the video. Everyone knew what was going to happen.
It’s long past time to start shooting these bastards.
domestic terrorists on the loose.
That was my thought as well. I don’t know why they didn’t release it and say a Wednesday evening or just release it spur the moment and not give anyone time or notice to plan some thing.
A nation that sent men to the moon not that long ago. Now here we are. So sad.
So they’re out chanting “no justice, no peace”, despite the officers involved being fired, and charged with multiple crimes as a result within a matter of a few days. That seems like a good start based on the allegations.
😂
Lmao!
