I’m sure everyone has heard about the unarmed black man by the name of Tyre Nichols who was severely beaten by 5 black police officers. People are protesting now as we speak. This has an interesting twist to it, the twist is that everyone involved in this was black. I’m not here to judge, but everyone knows that they (the police officers) were too harsh on this individual. I’m sure most people have seen the body cam footage. I don’t think the intent was to kill him. In the video, there was a white officer who initially tased Mr. Nichols, but he didn’t partake in the brutal beating of Mr. Nichols. He died a few days later in the hospital. This whole situation is a sad one, but I’m here to ask questions.
What is this, Police brutality? I don’t know if anyone can qualify this as white supremacy or is it?. we have to keep in mind that everyone who was responsible for brutally beating Mr. Nichols is black. Wasn’t the argument made that we will be better off policing our own people? what happened ?? Let us not forget that 2 of the 5 police officers who shot and killed Sean Bell in 2006 were Black. 2 of the 5 police officers who were responsible for the death of Freddie Gray were also black. 58% of the police force in Memphis are black. I don’t know about anyone but what’s worse in this crazy world is dying at the hands of our own people. Maybe it is time we start looking at black-on-black crime, and black-on-black killing, after all, most of the rappers if not all of the rappers have been killed by black people.
These police officers belong to a unit known as the S-C-O-R-P-I-O-N unit. (Street Crimes Operations to Restore Peace in Our Neighborhoods )and they are deployed to high-crime areas. That unit has been dissolved.
Another very important question, this is a controversial one, if people really believe that some communities are over-policed, then we should question the people responsible for that, in this case, it is none other than our current president Joe Biden, people should have read the 1994 crime bill and every bill he helped pass or passed during his time in the Senate. Why aren’t people asking him to fix the problem he created? I don’t believe this is a no justice, no peace situation, because the justice system was swift to fire them and charge them with second-degree murder.
The only thing I will say to this is that maybe it is time for us to look at the mental state of individuals before hiring them as police officers, regardless of race. After all, we are all trying to live as long as we can in this world!
