Today’s verdicts are a devastating miscarriage of justice. The world watched as Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by those sworn to protect and serve. That brutal, inhumane assault was captured on video, yet the officers responsible were acquitted.

Killing a suspect from a traffic stop should ALWAYS result in a guilty verdict. Death of a person in custody, who was not clearly putting police in deadly danger, should ALWAYS result in a guilty verdict. This is indeed devastating.
Well, at least we know that handcuffing a man and beating him to death is legal in Tennessee. Bout to call a cop over now. Best thing is, they bring the cuffs for you.
Cops are not here to protect anyone. This is a fact that we need to accept until bootlicking conservatives get with the program or are voted out. Cops serve the rich and extort the public, with no legal obligation to neither serve nor protect the public.
Because racism…plus some people are afraid of severe retribution. The others are brainwashed into believing cops are always right in their actions. It’s beyond horrific. 😩
We thank the Memphis community and people across the nation who have stood by Tyre’s family, lifted their voices, and demanded accountability. Your solidarity has been a beacon of hope in this painful journey.
We remain fiercely committed to civil justice and ask for your continued support as we press forward with the civil trial and push for meaningful, lasting reforms needed to stop the cycle of police brutality.
Let this be a rallying cry: we must confront the broken systems that empowered this injustice and demand the change our nation –– and Tyre’s legacy –– deserves.
More than 70, unfortunately. I'm so sick of racist jerks. I understand why they're afraid to be the minority. They've treated everyone else lesser than them & they don't want to be on the receiving end. I don't want any racism, but they'd deserve it
Ben it's time to pass the torch. I've listened to you for years. You're not helping. The Black community needs someone more articulate and pissed off than you. With respect- a white person who is sick of watching black people murdered for being black.
Beating someone to death should always be some type of murder or manslaughter. You can't accidentally beat someone to death. It's not self-defense. It's a continuing action that you could stop at any time but don't. Our justice system is so broken.
Absolutely DISGUSTING PATHETIC SPINELESS verdict!WHEN will there be accountability for cops who MURDER PEOPLE? It's like Mississippi Burning all over again. HOW TF DID THEY FIND THEM NOT GUILTY?? May what happened to Tyre happen to them or their family 2 feel the consequences of their ACTIONS today!
So the justice system did not work?
After hearing the truth, the jurors
made a decision after hearing all the relevant evidence.
Were you in the courtroom-NO, so there you go.
"A jury, which appeared to be all white, took about 8 1/2 hours over two days to find Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley and Justin Smith not guilty on all charges after a nine-day trial in state court in Memphis."
The bright light:
"The three defendants still face the prospect of years in prison after they were convicted of federal charges last year, though they were acquitted of the most serious charges then, too."
Pam Bondi would never bring up federal charges today.
He was a block from his home. Horrible.
Sir, I wish you would open more law offices throughout the country. We need someone like you in Alabama and throughout this mess of a country now more than ever.
We have to fight back and shine a light on all this racism, hate & oppression - even if the results aren't what they should've been. Smh 😢
I'm stunned and OUTRAGED. This was the same, if not worse, as the murder of George Floyd! This is why the South scares the shit out of me. He was within a few houses of his home, where he yelled for "Mom! Mom!" Jesus Christ...💔🤬
Just saw a video where the cops attacked a man, told him they were going to choke him out and then choked him and he died. I remind everyone that there's a maximum intelligence level for officers and the oral interviews they conduct filter out the good ones; policing is doing what it's designed to.
Thank you @attorneybencrump.bsky.social for your continued work fighting against police racism and brutality. I believe you are a man history will remember fondly.

If Tyre Nichols had been white, those officers would be in prison tonight.
They support lynching
What an injustice.
Looks to me like justice was kneecapped here.
Unfortunately, its yet another white Jury in a Southern state.
Not much has changed in the last 70 years.
So TN KKK
TYSM for all your efforts
The invisible world knows the truth 🔥
The cops could have stopped the violence at many points.
This was flat out murder.
#Cursed
The little people don't stand a chance.
Put the Justice system on notice too
Cops need to face justice

Damn, this is brutal for all who knew and loved this young man.

Sad day for justice and equality.
