Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man was savagely beaten to death by five Black police officers in Memphis, Tennessee on January 7, 2022, and died three days later. His family has hired nationally renowned civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump, to seek justice for their beloved child who is now deceased.
The Brutal Murder of Tyre Nichols by Five Black Police Officers
in Memphis Reveals How Much Those Officers Hated Themselves
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Self-Hatred is a very serious problem in the Black community that
must be addressed. I recently reviewed some crime statistics collected by the
FBI that covered the period from 2011 through 2020, which found that African Americans
by in large suffer the most harm from crime. However, the data, also unsurprisingly
revealed that African American offenders are the ones committing an “increasingly
large share of violent crimes” being committed in America. So, how should the crime
problem be addressed going forward?
In my opinion, we must find a way to put our heads together and deal
with the rising crime problem; social issues facing us as a nation; and the
looming political war that’s going to split our nation in half during the 2024
Presidential Election that’s coming on Tuesday, November 5, 2024.
When will the senseless killing stop? It doesn’t matter
whether we are talking about “BLACK ON BLACK CRIME” or “POLICE BRUTALITY” there’s
something desperately wrong unfolding in states all across America.
While being punched by the flying fists of five Black police
officers; kicked by their big black boots; and struck by their department-issued black batons, Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, screamed for his
mother, and pleaded with the Black policemen saying, “I’m just trying to go
home.”
If you think back to, May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old
Black suffered the same fate in Minneapolis, Minnesota, as Tyre Nichols, suffered
on January 10, after his encounter with police three days earlier – what occurred
in Memphis is even worse.
If you remember, George Floyd was accused of making a
purchase using a counterfeit $20 bill, and he was sentenced to death by a white
police officer (Derek Chauvin), who mercilessly placed his knee on Floyd’s neck,
as he (like Tyre Nichols) called for his mother.
Make no mistake about it, Derek Chauvin hated George Floyd,
but those five Black police officers hated Tyre Nichols much more for them to savagely
beat him the way they did in Memphis, Tennessee.
Thank God those five Black police officers have been fired
and charged with second-degree murder and an assortment of other charges, but they
need to now have their tails whipped too. And the City of Memphis needs to pay a
heavy price for employing those savages to patrol the streets of Memphis in the
first place. What type of training did they receive before being let out on the
streets of Memphis? How long have they been policemen?
How can a situation escalate from a man (with no known
criminal record) being pulled over on suspicion of driving recklessly, resulting
in him being brutally beaten, and murdered by the very people we’re
entrusting to protect us? Could self-hate be the culprit?
Running from law enforcement doesn’t give “THE POLICE” the
right to kill you. Where’s the outrage from other ethnic groups? If those five Black
police officers were beating a dog (in the streets) on camera like that, we
would see animal rights groups and other people from all walks of life and ethnicities
locked in arms, screaming, yelling, chanting, and protesting against the senseless
murder of that poor dog – wouldn’t we? What about a human being? Tyre Nichols
was a human being, with “RED-BLOOD” flowing through his veins – just like the
rest of us. How much was his life worth?
“All of the available information tells us that this was the
tragic and preventable death of a young man deeply beloved by his family and community,”
said nationally renowned civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump,
who has been retained by the family of Tyre Nichols.
According to the Nichols family, those five police officers brutalized
him to the point of him being unrecognizable. But what would drive five “BLACK
POLICE OFFICERS” to do that to a young Black man? If you ask me, only “SELF-HATRED”
could trigger such an “ANIMALISTIC” murder of another human being, after a
simple traffic stop.
Want to know something? If we’re honest, what we saw in that
video footage, isn’t anything new. The only problem here, for these five Black policemen,
is that the deadly beating was caught on a camera perched high in the sky – by the
grace of God.
TIME TO WAKE UP
What the murder of Tyre Nichols in Memphis shows America is
that “MY PEOPLE” still have a long way to go, as we continue to fight for
equality, justice, and fair treatment when it comes to matters related to criminal
justice, and civil rights.
Listen up, if we aren’t careful, we’re going to find
ourselves in the middle of a civil war in the very near future. In states like
California, Latino and Black gangs are already at war, and it won’t be long before
those gang wars will be taking place right here in Harris County, Texas.
Where am I going with this? Well, I’m glad you asked.
Political wars are just as bad as gang wars if you ask me.
And to be more specific, until recently, there weren’t any Black judges sitting
on judicial benches in Harris County, Texas.
If aren’t aware, back during the 1990s, some of the local
judges, in Harris County, Texas didn’t have much compassion for “MY PEOPLE” who
unfortunately had to appear before them in their courtrooms – that’s the ugly
truth.
Now, if you fast-forward to today, many local judges have
gone too far in the other direction with “CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORMS” as they’ve
tried to right some wrongs, and level the playing field for Blacks and other
poor people.
What needs to happen now? Well, we have to take politics out
of the crime situation. We must also start pulling the layers back and get to
the root of the violent crime epidemic.
Why are so many Blacks afraid of the police? Why are we (Blacks) much tougher on one another, than we are on people from other ethnic groups? The epidemic of "BLACK ON BLACK CRIME" must stop at once.
And why don’t we (Blacks) support one another like Hispanics support one another? Why are so many people from other ethnic groups afraid of us "Black" people? Why do people (in general) commit crimes in the first place? What role has ‘not having Black fathers’ in homes played in all of this? And what role has our local, state, and the federal government played in ripping Black families apart, and destroying them?
