memphis is one of those dangerous places in the western hemisphere where killings are very common, but this videotape and the violence it contains has dominated today s news, so we have asked trace gallagher to walk us through the footage. hey, trace. hey, tucker. we will do the step-by-step. it begins with the initial stop. remember, tyre nichols was pulled over for reckless driving, though the video starts at a point where there is no evidence. we can t see any signs of reckless or erratic driving. but when police officers approached the vehicle, they are clearly agitated about something, because they don t go up to the vehicle and ask tyre nichols to step out. instead, they immediately open the door and they pull him out of the car, and immediately then try to push them down to the ground. you can watch some of this and kind of see the process as it goes forward. in the process, while they are on the ground with him, he is tased and apparently pepper sprayed. some of the
coverage of this tape today. the only person w whose race mot media identified was the victim. moments ago on msnbc they just describe what you just saw as rights of privacy. really? how? seeing as van jones didn t acknowledge that the police who hit tyre nichols were black, but, they might still have been driven by racism. van jones didn t take the time to explain how. it was a lie, of course. they are all lying, and joe biden himself, the president of the united states, swiftly reinforced that lie, referring to an event in which every single participant, and their supervisors, was the same color. he lectured the united states that fatal encounters with law enforcement have disparately impacted black and brown people. so the one thing you know, most people don t think that s right, but the one thing we know for sure is that there is a highly aggressive propaganda campaign
