SOME THOUGHTS ON THE FATAL BEATING OF TYRE NAICHOLS

By Howie Katz

There was absolutely no justification whatsoever for the five Memphis officers to beat up Tyre Nichols.

To its credit, the  Memphis PD fired the five rogues quickly 

The DA quickly and rightly filed murder charges against the five.

I do not believe the body camera videos should have been released to the public. The cops had already been fired, charged with murder and arrested. 

It puzzles me why the family and attorney Benjamin Crump insisted on their release. They knew that the body camera videos were inflammatory, otherwise they would not have called for any demonstrations to be peaceful.

 

 

Why were there any demonstrations at all, when the five cops had already been fired, criminally charged and arrested? And why were the demonstrations nationwide? My answer is ... the videos gave the warriors in the war on cops a reason to demonstrate against "killer cops."

In Times Square, the demonstrations (pictured above) were led by members of the communist 'Party for Socialism & Liberation.' In Houston the same group was joined by the communist "Worker's world Party.'

And where was Black Lives Matter? It's obvious that since Tyre's brutal murder was not at the hands of white cops, his black life does not matter to communist-led BLM.

In all the demonstration there were large numbers of young whites who were probably indoctrinated by Marxist college professors. It's been the same in all anti-police demonstrations.

Why were the demonstrations peaceful? Not only because the perpetrators had been fired and arrested, but because they were black, not white. Had the five been white, the whole nation would have erupted in George Floyd-like riots.

Finally, those five Memphis cops have not only disgraced themselves, but they've made it much harder for America's law enforcement officers to enforce the law.

Call me a skeptic, but I'm not sure the cops would have been fired or charged if the top brass didn't know the video was going to be released.
