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.

Yep, they are terrorists, 100% and I would even go so far as to call them government protected terrorists as this has been going on 7 years and beyond and I can’t think of one of them who is doing hard time. Yet the guy who sat at Pelosis desk during the 4 hour stolen election protest on Jan.6th is facing 47 years in prison.

That’s why I call them “The Commie Kids.” Beings dumb enough to wear Che t shirts without knowing what a dbag he was or thinking anarchy can happen on a schedule.

Thanks to the Demoncrats, this is becoming a Communist country, only without the free and worthless health care. Between this, rampant sacrifice of innocents through abortion and the grooming of children through the schools, the US is reminiscent of Revelation’s Woman in Scarlet. It is no longer under God.

We’ve been encouraging riots for 60 years.

I agree. Our society has been going down hill for quite some time. You can’t have order when some people want riots.

I have seen this scenario play out numerous times. This was all totally predictable.

Did Governor Bill Lee mobilize the National Guard in advance the way Kemp did in Georgia? Seems to have worked in keeping a lid on things in Georgia, especially with the caveat of rioters being charged with terrorism.

Also, young black men are killed in Memphis on a regular basis, mostly by other young black men. Why no riots, national media coverage, or "outrage" from the social justice "warriors"?

Exactly. Those pre-printed signs with that same design element are always a giant red flag at any protest. The more of them and the less handmade signs just increases that level.

One change is that the Dem mayors of these urban toilets are no longer on the side of the radicals; the COVID response has made it clear how obsolete these cities really are, and these mayors are desperate to get their working normals back into the cities to spend money. The whole pseudo-economy of the wealth transfers from taxpayers to minority gubmint workers is unraveling as companies pull up stakes and leave, and that artificial middle class is in danger economically.

This was a factor during the BLM/antifa riots years ago here in NJ; while we have wild and ungovernable cities, the black mayors ensured there was no violence or mass theft/looting. Considering the state of our cities, it was actually impressive.

Never let a crisis go to waste, it is already being labeled as a racist incident even though the mayor, all 5 cops are and the dead man are black but the creation of law and order and enforcement was the white mans This happened everyday on Chicago and not a peep.

are you ready for President Kamalah and her chosen VP Hillary?

In Truth, Hillary would be a step up from Biden/Harris. She would be a ruthless ruler, but she would get things done. There would be little left of the America that once was, but she would bring ORDER. No riots in front of her White House!

“I’m so glad I live out in the woods of Northern WI.”

I’m so glad I live out in the woods of Southern WI!

I was just coming here to say that we currently have an Alberta Clipper passing through, 20 MPH winds, sub-zero temps tonight and 7” of snow to fall between today and tomorrow morning.

That should put a damper on things in, ‘The People’s Republiks of Madistan and Milwaukeestan.’ (Wisconsin Communist Headquarters.)

However, Fire = Warmth, so you never know! Wonder how many Joules you get out of a blazing cop car...before it explodes?

Anyone? Anyone?
