routine between. consistent with what they saw on the video of his encounter with police. tyre nichols beaten for three minutes just think about that. a boxing round, three minutes. three minutes this man was allegedly beaten by five officers. five black officers were fired, even before the video of that the rest had even been publicly released. two members of the memphis fire department have also been fired in the wake of tyre nichols s death. i want to bring in steve mulroy, the district attorney dealing down there with steve, it s good to see you this evening. there are a lot of questions being asked about what happened to tyre nichols and when the public might be able to see this video for themselves. and the idea when it will be released? and one of the considerations to do so? right. thank you for having me, laura coates. a lot of the peoples questions about what exactly happened will, of course, to be answered once people see the video. we expect that to happen
knew personally as well why do you think this is happening? because in our culture we have not said, not just shame on, you but we are actually going to hold you accountable. the way, frankly, the parents of not parkland the sandy hook shooting held alex jones accountable, and said, you will not do this, you will not have people chasing me down on the street, screaming at me that my child did not die. right? we have to take that kind of principled stand to say, this is not acceptable. there are hundreds of thousands of americans who have died from covid because of conspiracy theories, because they were afraid of vaccines, because they would not wear a mask. and it is a tragedy. and i think we have to recognize that it is not just a phenomenon at social media this is disgusting and it is not going to stop if we don t stand up and say we are not going to tolerate this. and we are going to go after the people who are perpetrating these conspiracy theories. yeah, christine bren
