Tyre Nichols - Tumblr Posts
Tyre Nichol’s mother has set up a memorial fund to help pay for mental health services for his family and a memorial skate park in his name. If you cannot donate, please share.
City of Memphis is in lockdown as they prepare for the protests that will follow the release of the body cam footage of the Tyre Nichols lynching.
To catch everyone up. People that have already seen the footage are saying it's worse than George Floyd. Two officers were assaulting him after a traffic stop when three other officers came up and joined in. His face was unrecognizable and he had a broken neck by the end of it. Local businesses are being told to prepare and some have been buying hazard insurance. All 5 officers were immediately fired (not placed on paid leave, but fired) after reviewing the footage.
This is going to be BAD.
Obligatory picture to humanize him (again).
I just want people to mentally prepare for the amount of emotional labor it'll take for anyone to talk about what's in the body cam footage. I fully expect this to be horrifying.
Footage will be released 5pm CT.
