Family of Tyre Nichols files urgent appeal with United Nations
The Hill ^ | 02-10-2023 | CHEYANNE M. DANIELS

The family of Tyre Nichols has filed an urgent appeal to the United Nations, requesting action “regarding the torture and extrajudicial killing” of Nichols.

“Today, we filed an Urgent Appeal before the United Nations asking it to condemn the tragic killing of Tyre Nichols, to demand transparency from the police department, and to demand that Officer Preston Hemphill and all officers that participated in the incident are criminally charged,” attorneys for the family said in a statement.

“The video evidence shows that all who were involved in Tyre’s death committed reprehensible acts that require international condemnation,” they continued.

According to the United Nations, “Urgent appeals” are used to seek intervention to cease the violation of loss of life, life-threatening situations or “imminent or on-going damage of a grave nature.”

The goal is to ensure State authorities intervene or prevent a human rights violation as quickly as possible.

Better yet, package LeBron, and send the 3 of them to Chins.

And external prosecutors who never have to work with normal law enforcementt. If the cops don’t spike the investigation the prosecutors half ass the case, because nothing kills a career like having police decide you’re anti-cop and blowing your future cases.

Should be asking legislators of their race to bring a halt to black on black crime.

Hey, maybe they will recruit some of those military types from African that think it’s ok to rape 12 year old girls and those that recruit young boys ... put a uniform on them, give them a rifle and send them off to war.

Probably Ben Crump’s idea.

WTAF? NEVER fight the cops on the street. If you make it to court, fight it there.

Agree. I wonder who actually set this up.

I thought they might be protesting the fact that Brandon called him ‘Tyler’. Isn’t that ‘racist’ as well?

If the UN can just stop one carjacker from going to jail then justice will at last be realized

I’m not sure who did, or what the endgame is.
Anything involving the UN is not good, in my opinion.

Last I checked, the UN does not run this country-I have sympathy for his family, but they should know this.

The cops have been indicted and arrested. There will be a trial.

This isn’t some investigation that is ongoing and can be swept under a rug.

I understand your sentiment.

If you want a perfect, textbook example, read the DailyMail story of the chief of the Memphis police department.

This is a tad different.

Epic grandstanding if you ask me.

I’m willing to bet they have no idea what it even means, aside from attention and money.

While the family is at it ask them to condemn every citizen murdered by their precious rapefugees.

If Biden is forced out, Kamala will bail all the carjackers out of jail. For equity.
