PJ Media ^ | 01/27/2023 | Chris Queen

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.

They must really want to get rid of Biden! He is going to have a brain seizure over this by the time it is over. The Top secret documents and now the riots…. They have SIX WAYS TO SUNDAY to get you according to Schumer… are you ready for President Kamalah and her chosen VP Hillary?

“Mostly peaceful” as left leg and both arms are peaceful. Right foot is smashing the heck out of the cop car windshield.

Distraction for Biden....

What if the officers had all been white as in Floyd’s case?
“Jill, start deciding on my tie for the 2nd inaugural.”

Police beat a man to death 250' from his home.
The Police Chief publicly disavows the officer's reasons for his death.

What do people think is going to happen?

Not justifying any of this, not surprised by it either.

RE: The Police Chief publicly disavows the officer’s reasons for his death.

What exactly was the reason for beating him?

NO ONE can tell me our society is better or has “progressed”. We are turning into a 3rd world hell-hole. Slowly but surely.

I don’t think so. Probably the police also hired similar thugs who can kill somebody any day. They’re still working.

I looked at a couple of those videos and the "protesters" all seem to be "woke" white college kids. These are kids who if they ventured into Darktown, would be raped, male or female, in every orifice of their bodies, and them shanked from rectum to sternum, left gutted like a trash fish.

No, this is in part to take some of the heat off the documentgate issue, It is morphing out of the control of K Street.

Riot season already?

Memphis is the city of my birth. Just painful to see its decay over the last 62 years.

This is the hype.

It’s an operation. Planned.

Nothing to do with the case or release of video except convenience.

...OBEY THE LAW.

Too late for them to try something new.

If we really question them 1) You are mad about the man being beaten and dying allegedly at the hands of Memphis officers, right?

Then why are you trashing, burning and looting in places like NY City and around the country?

Will this bring the dead man back to life?

Will this cause officers not involved to change their behavior out of fear of new riots?

Or are you trying to make an insurrection that will bring down the US government and result in anarchy and the rise of Chinese style Communism?

Notice I hypothetically questioned them about INSURRECTION.
