US Protesting Outbreaks

If you haven't heard, a man named Tyre Nichols was beaten and later died in the hospital. There were 5 police officers that took to beating this poor man half to death only for him to die days later in the hospital. He was a father and a hard worker. The bodycam footage was released tonight and it shows this group of thug cops having their way with him like it was no big deal... It broke my heart watching it. These police officers deserve to rot in prison for life.

Protests are starting in all major cities in America. I think it may lead to riots in some places, similar to the BLM riots of 2020. I just hope people don't get caught up in things. I always tell friends/family to protest during the day and never at night.

I heard about this. There are some places where traffic has been stopped. I think this is just in Memphis right now. Either way, if things start to get bad out there, I hope people that do not want to be involved stay safe. A building, a car, etc. is not worth losing your life over.

I saw some things happen but nothing like in 2020. That was a MESS! I think it is great people want to protest this. It is disturbing what cops get away with in America.

I don't follow the news so had no idea what was going on. I saw some images from the incident and wow, there is no way those cops get let off easy for that. It almost looked like a gang jumping an innocent man, not police trying to stop a criminal.

I heard there were some places that got broken into an robbed. It doesn't seem like it is going to be as bad as it was in 2020 which is puzzling to me. What happened with these cops and that Tyre man, this was way worse than Floyd imo.

The US has a problem with their police men and women being poorly trained. There is no reason why they can't increase funding and have training take a minimum of 12 months. I think the push for defunding the police is what caused this in the first place.

It will blow over like it always does. There were far worse riots in the past. I know it is scary to see all the pictures and videos, but this was nothing compared to other outrage events.
