It was heart wrenching and unbearable to listen to Tyre Nichols scream for his mom as 5 pathetic excuses of men beat him.
They deserve to feel the pain this man felt in those moments for the rest of their lives.
Instead of the video, which I won’t watch again, here is a beautiful picture of a young man whose life was STOLEN by 5 men.
STOLEN by 5 men who are suppose to protect and serve. 5 black men stole another black mans life for no reason at all.

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.

plate: MOUSEGRL
Customer: I'm a girl and i love mice
DMV: THE CRAZY THING ABOUT THIS IS THAT IT TOOK ONE SINGLE WORD TO TURN IT HORNY. COULDA BEEN A NORMAL CUTE LICENSE PLATE. COULDA TAKEN THE HIGH ROAD & CONJURED A DELIGHTFUL IMAGE OF A MOUSE DRIVING A LITTLE CAR. BUT YOU HAD TO SAY "MOUSEGIRL" AND NOT "MOUSE." DON'T PRETEND THIS ISN'T WHAT'S GOING ON EITHER I KNOW THE SCORE I KNOW WHAT'S UP. I'M FAMILIAR WITH THIS SORT OF SEMANTIC TRICK. YOU WANT TO FUCK DOWN ON AN ANIME GIRL WITH CERTAIN CHARACTERISTICS OF A RODENT AND EVERYONE'S GOTTA KNOW.
Verdict: DENIED

another heavy handed symbolism moment: my mom has a potted sunflower in the kitchen. because it is a sunflower, it keeps turning towards the light from the window. my mother keeps rotating it so it faces inward because she wants "to see its beautiful petals and have it really brighten up the space!" . the sunflower is visibly wilting .
