Observation of one journalist (me): It’s like public officials are speaking rioting into existence by all their fearful talk. I haven’t seen any indication of that on the ground and especially at the vigil tonight. Rage, yes. Sadness, yes. But nothing violent. #TyreNichols

The cops who killed Tyre Nichols were part of a “SCORPION UNIT” launched in November of 2021 — under Chief Davis.
Perhaps that’s why she just ducked that presser? 🤔

These are the first officers ever charged in Memphis in recent memory for abuse or death and if Tyre hadn’t died and just been hurt they probably would have gotten away with it. Like they did with Martavius Banks. Because he lived, they walked and out HIM in jail when he healed.

52 years ago, #EltonHayes was the name. A form of protesting took place that prompted reform. In 52 years, many more names have been added to the list. How much has this city changed? How much reform has taken place? Have some measures reverted back?

Does it matter if a cop is Black when an unarmed person is killed at the hands of police? When enslaved ppl & Black & white abolitionists stood up to killings, white masters appointed Black foremen. Racialized beating is racialized beating regardless of the color of the cops.

The 5 MPD officers who contributed to the murder of #TyreNichols were apart of the SCORPION Unit established by Chief CJ Davis. Chief Davis has finally released verbal statements. Is the textbook lip service she delivered enough?
