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.'

Something happened in May of 2020 to suddenly make blacks kill each other by murder and traffic accidents more than ever. I can't imagine what it was.....
Problem is it’s heading out into the suburbs.
A woman was killed not far from where I work in what’ supposed to be a safe suburb.
If it keeps going this way we’ll have to form “intentional communities” with shops, restaurants, armed guards, etc. in one secure, private area.
Oh, and a well-stocked fallout shelter for when the basement dummy starts a nuclear war.
Cops(black) in Memphis killed a guy, so Atlanta and DC are going to chimp out?
That makes sense...
In different cities...
I don’t think we’ll have riots here. We still have statues
Capital? Like the capital that was almost destroyed by white suprema-cysts a couple years back? That capital? Not b on b issue. Oh, they did it due to white suprema-cyst rhetoric right? 😵
Boys, it looks like Violent Insurrection is back on the menu
We’re pulling the AR and the AK out of the gun locker just in case.
Great
this crap again...
Memphis is surrounded by a significant number of folks who are heavily armed and who do not necessarily agree with nor approve of “mostly peaceful but firey” protests. Especially if they spill out of the, ah, duskier neighborhoods.
If Deep State wants riots, there’ll be riots.
Right on time the media is making sure the leftoids get out and riot. Time and place provided.
I bet they even serve refreshments.
I hate the MSM.
It is far more likely to be Antifa.
Yet another sentence that should be on billboards all over the country.
Cold and windy a lot of places.
Turnout may disappoint....
LOL 👍
Antifa terrorism
“ America is not ‘on edge’. ”
No kidding…hadn’t even heard about this till now. So if blacks killing blacks is cause for rioting, why hasn’t Chicago been burned to the ground already?
“...llowing an anti-cop protest last weekend in Atlanta after an environmental activist died...”
”We’re doing shots?”
