Massive protests have begun in Memphis Friday night following the release of the Tyre Nichols bodycam footage as cities around the country brace for violent riots.
Demonstrators were shutting down highways just outside the city while chanting: 'Say his name - Tyre Nichols.'
Protests have already begun in cities including New York, Washington and Atlanta.
Antifa has issued a call to arms for protestors to light up New York City on Friday night.(Photo) A poster shows the group calling upon demonstrators to gather at various locations in the Big Apple and 'Burn It All Down'.
Cities across America are anticipating widespread protests following the release of the distressing footage.

Oh, for crying out loud. The police officers have been fired, and are all up on second degree murder charges. In addition, the Memphis Police Department intends to release the bodycam footage soon, thereby poisoning any chance the police officers have of a fair trial, and insuring a guilty verdict. What the he** else do these people want? And no, I won’t say his name, not because I am unfeeling, but because they demand it.

Get a very large wheel loader with a superbig bucket to clear them out. Just scoop this trash up and dump it.

After the all day drama of the pending video release courtesy of cable news and the genius decision to release it on Friday night you could almost be forgiven for thinking that they were all hoping for a riot or two.

Someone needs to trail these Antifa people back to their cars or homes and Dox them all. Then protest outside their homes.

Notice No protests in Florida as DeSantis has a law against rioting and burning and looting implemented after the BLM riots.

You bet !!
Burn it all down. Start with Graceland that bastion of white supremacy.
Never mind that Sun Recording Company started with B B King, Howlin' Wolf and all the BLACK artists in town.
Yo Memphis ... get your heads out of you know where and I'll come back to Beale Street

Perps tend to walk after arrests so why did this man resist? Maybe under “the influence”?
All cops were black and their bosses were black, so NO systemic racism. Dems need to staunch the black voter defections with new elections coming up. So get the AntiFa rage machine going again even with NO Racism involved. Dems need CHAOS and they’ll continue to get it because you CAN fool most of the people most of the time. Apparently lawlessness and giving perps a pass in many Blue Cities now is not sufficient to stoke the fires of CHAOS for the Dems. Just wait a little longer and they’ll insist on a surveillance system like the Chinese have to further destroy the US Constitution.

I find it difficult to believe that five black cops beat a black perp, even as bad as that, without some sort of provocation. I don't think we're getting the full story.

If the FBI could destroy the Mafia in the USA, they surely could identify the people who are running Antifa and destroy that violent domestic terrorist group. So since the FBI has not, you have to figure that politics has got in the way.

Ok, say you burn it all down and destroy your own city. Then what? What exactly have you accomplished ? Nothing! Violent destructive protests make the protesters no better than the 5 cops who killed Tyre Nichols.

You know. I usually agree with comments here. I hate the rioting and marches and all that goes with it. But not this time. I truly understand why people are mad. This was a slim young man and there were five burly cops hammering on him. Yes, he did run, but after he'd been roughed up and he got scared. At one point he was calling for his mama, who lived nearby. The cops need to go to prison. Simple as that. And if ever a parent should sue, it's these parents.

Apparently, the police screwed up badly and a life has been lost. Regardless of his race, mental condition or if he was resisting, five burly men beating to death a 6’3” 145 lb. man is wrong. Why beat the guy when he was down? There were five law enforcement officers n scene. A cop for each appendage and they still could not subdue him? This is a travesty. However we once again see that democrat supported ANTIFA is at the ready to create violent chaos. The media will milk this story for all its worth. A commentator already declared the cause of this incident to be racism even though all the parties were black.
Nevertheless, a life was lost and a family is grieving and I extend my sincere sympathy to them.

We have two (retired) cops in the family. Not an easy job, especially these days when cops are painted as the enemy by the public, and not supported by their government. I think these guys reached a point of frustration and took it out on Nichols. They were wrong to do so, but I understand how it happened. The current cop shortage will continue to get worse and the crime rate will continue to escalate.

I'm sorry but conversations heard on the videos among the cops that murdered Tyre Nichols sounds like they are no more than uneducated, uncaring, self loathing, violent gang bangers. How do people like this become cops? What are Memphis's hiring and performance requirements for police recruits? Is anyone in really charge in Memphis?
And here's a morsel of info: Memphis police chief Cerelyn Davis (hired in 2021) appeared on the television show Good Morning America on June 3 2020, calling for “sweeping changes and police reform” after the murder of George Floyd. She called for these reforms WHEN SHE WAS CHIEF OF POLICE in the Durham, NC police department.
Well, Davis had her chance, Memphis obviously needed some reforms, and she blew it.
If she has an ounce of character she would resign in disgrace. If not, she should be fired immediately.
Prayers for the family of Tyre Nichols.

This is a story about five incompetent thugs who were dressed like cops but the media is fixed on the rioting and keep promoting it. What is wrong with those idiots who hold the cameras and microphones? That Memphis police chief is affirmative action at its worst.

If cops have anger issues they want to get out, they should take it out on antifa!

Do to the protesters what Trudeau did to the decent truckers. Identify and close their bank accounts.

A black cop shot a smallish, unarmed white woman at point blank range at our nation's Capital and you just us people didn't care. Why should I be concerned when cops kill your criminals?
