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.'

they will be peacefully protesting white supremacy

[Nextrush]

I’m not excited the killers of Tyre Nichols reflect “diversity, equity and inclusion” if you look at their pictures.

When will the cops be sober and sane in this country is the more important question?

The drugs, alcohol and pornography desensitize human beings so cops end up going too far with people.

They drove out good people from wanting to be cops, so you take what you can get. Most of the cops these days would be in jail, if they weren’t cops.

[Nextrush]

Yeah. I’m not sure what the excitement is all about I guess to make Homeland Security look good since we all know they consider Conservatives to be “Domestic Terrorists-Extremists”.

The feds may got some plants in the leftist groups hope to entrap catch some folks we shall see.

I agree 💯%.

[DCBryan1]

Gotta buy a brass cater for my suppressed 10/22....sigh....right now just able to scatter random brass from gun range.

At least I get to test out my new thermal nods:

Wrong. #4 buckshot with 00 and slug in side saddle.

Ive seen this somewhere before:

I thought it was a different state than Georgia?

A woman was killed not far from where I work in what’ supposed to be a safe suburb.

I like to track where Sec. 8 housing is being developed.

[Chickensoup]

Leftist terrorism ramps up

Governors and mayors who don’t stop it cold are complicit. Like the Biden Administration and DJ

[EEGator]

Nice.

They should release the video early in the morning because most of the people who are looking for an excuse to riot and loot don’t work. They don’t get up till noon time anyway.

[Digger]

There was a disabled white man who was shot 7 times by the cops and no one rioted. Hell, there was barely any news coverage of it. Just saying that there's privilege out there, and it sure as Hell ain't white people having it.

I'm sure you all know the reason why the vermin/elites get away with this. Just as no desecrations of Mosques but plenty to churches.

[ifinnegan]

Nothing to do with spare tire or whatever.

Planned operations by Antifa/RCP/BLM.

Revolutionary communists. Aligned with current Chicago gang ruling junta.

[CottonBall]

“Capitol Hill also amped up security”

Oh yeah, they make sure they are okay. While they try to take guns from the rest of us, to be helpless victims.

[CottonBall]

And the cops are arrested. So they are protesting that??
