happen to 20 nine-year-old to 29 year old tyree nichols after he was pulled over by police on january 7th. three days later, he was dead. an independent autopsy blamed his death an extensive bleeding caused by severe beating. and tonight, his mother pleads for peace. when that tape comes out tomorrow, it s going to be horrific. my lord. i didn t see it, but from what i hear it s going to be horrific. but i want each and every one of you to protest in peace. i don t want us burning up our cities, tearing up the streets. amen. because that s not what my son stood for. people who have seen this police body cam video call it shocking, sickening, and appalling. i ve seen the video. as she stated, you will to. in a word, it s absolutely appalling. let me be clear. what happened here does not at all reflect proper policing. this was wrong, this was criminal. so tomorrow night the public will see this video and then what? that s one of the questions that we ll be aski
say that he has likened it the whole time in this video to the rodney king. we all remember those hideous images of kicking and he said, tasing, punching, et cetera. and i had not heard this before, that tyre nichols was up against like this over a police cruiser and they fall over and they put some upgrade in the falls over, and they put him rate and they were not rendering aid. so in memphis they have a lot of the same rules that major cities have, which is the duty to intervene. that means when things have gotten out of control with an officer, or more than one officer, somebody behind them needs to step in to say okay, okay, okay, that s enough. that didn t happen here. the duty to render aid, that means if somebody has, even somebody been fighting with you, is injured, and they are, as the attorney put, it going out of it, that you are supposed to render aid until professional medical help gets there.
Not really a surprise after the way things have gone, but it’s na normal all the same. You’d have thought they’d have shown a bit more trust and belief. Could have gone on to make a difference…
