On Friday evening, Memphis Police released the video showing police officers beating Tyre Nichols to death.

WARNING: Graphic

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

Julio Rosas, from our sister site Townhall is on the ground in Memphis, and he has video showing that the protests following the video have turned into full-blown riots.

When these things happen the city should shut off the power for 48 hours.

These “riots” are duds. All the live streamers are shutting down and going home.

Winter. Cops wrong color. No "optics." This was always a non-starter.

I do, because they always move the urban population to other places, such as the suburbs once no business wants to settle there any longer. These riots are orchestrated for the most part.

Yes. Just across from you in rural wooded northern Michigan.

The right place to be today for so many reasons.

But. We have lousy phone service and just WiFi satellite.

“Why did they even wait for the release of the video. Everyone knew what was going to happen.”

Exactly. By rioting when the tapes came out is all for show, as the content was well known far ahead of time. Antifa is nothing but a phony front to give hateful people an excuse to destroy.

No surprise there.
Far too many Cops of all “Races” have become nonchalant about committing perjury and covering for the worst among themselves.
Then they get indignant when those of us who know the score fail to automatically “Respect” them to their ego’s satisfaction.
Respect is earned, and being thugs will never earn any respect no matter how polished the badge.

I wish people had got upset about the killer cop who told the victim to crawl to him and then to stop and then shot him dead...or the guy who came to the door during the night with his wife and a flashlight and opened the door and was immediately shot....

cops are doing this all over....

this is a horrible case but why THIS case is the one the domestic terrorists want to exploit....

these cops....what the hell is the matter with people....

Yes, pretty suspicious sounds like actually an attempt to downplay this story.

* Friday night

* Major news anchors off for the weekend.

* Delayed story

* Football

Payoff the family and bury the story as quickly as possible?
Can’t make a race story to stick?

Some words are missing from the title. It should read:
