#PoliceReform #TyreNichols #Tyre #Video #Riots - Bodycam footage pf Tyre Nichols' murder by 5 police officers is due for release tonight. Police across USA are bracing for riots and violence. But violence will only harm and destroy communities with NO benefit. Please don't do it. 
#RodneyKing #TyreNichols + Memphis, HELL NO trend. 1992's Los Angeles Rodney King riots did great harm. This was both the immediate damage and massive subsequent economic devastation as companies and customers stayed away. What do #riots do to the communities they devastate?
3/ #PoliceBrutality #TyreNichols: People have every right to be angry. I'm angry. 😠😠😠But for once, the system actually seems to be working. The five #Memphis #police officers have been fired and arrested. Quickly.

with a body in @HaringeyToday over 7 years #MSMLies with the same #CorruptMedia keeping the #TruthAtAllCosts buried to protect @MetTaskforce who are worse today than they were over 20 years ago with #rodneyking as @WhiteHouse @BarackObama @POTUS45 and now @JoeBiden
who we have been tagging over the years because @DavidLammy and his wife @nicolagreenart who has painted #Obama many times being the same couple #DavidLammy being a key player in what has been blocked at all levels from his mother having her voice and #TruthMatters heard.
Today marks 30 years to the day since #RodneyKing was brutally beaten by LAPD officers as other police watched.

“I was scared, I was scared for my life. So I laid down real calmly and took it like a man,” Rodney King in 1991, clad in a blue hospital smock, said from a wheelchair at County Jail hours before his release, more than three days after the attack. latimes.com/local/californ…
A Los Angeles Times Poll from 1991 found that Los Angeles residents overwhelmingly believed that police used excessive force in arresting Rodney G. King and that instances of police brutality are commonplace. latimes.com/local/californ…
To give #NHK a FAIR review, I watched the entire program, which was split into two parts; one on U.S. BlackLivesMatter protests and one on Swedish response against #COVID19 -- don't know why they coupled this two. Ask THEM for answers... Of total 37 min, 27 min was on protests.
And this was how NHK summarized the first part of the program with ABSOLUTELY NO MENTION WHATSOEVER of what is right or wrong or just or unjust. Their point is to state that America is increasingly divided by radicalism on both sides of the political spectrum; Left and Right.
And the video in question was used to depict the tiny bit of that 'divide' caused by poverty gaps written here which says "黒人" or Black people saying "白人ばかり金持ちだ" which roughly translates to "Whites are always getting richer!". So THAT'S what that video was about.
1/ Affaire #GeorgesFloyd :
à lire la presse et à écouter les experts judiciaires des chaînes d’info continues US, faire condamner #Chauvin pour meurtre et ses 3 collègues pour complicité devant une cour du #Minnesota sera difficile. Quelques éléments...

2/ #Chauvin est mis en examen pour « meurtre » le jury devra (unanimement) décider que #Chauvin a voulu tuer (mais sans préméditation) OU qu’il a tué en commettant un autre crime (felony murder)
#GeorgeFloyd
#GeorgeFloyd
3/ Selon @JeffreyToobin l’accusation pourra s’appuyer sur plusieurs éléments aggravants : bien sur les images (terribles) mais surtout 2 éléments qui suggèrent la volonté de tuer: #Chauvin sait que #GeorgeFloyd est menotté ET il continue à maintenir son genou sur sa gorge pdt 9´
Se o assassinato de #GeorgeFloyd lembrou o de #EricGarner, a resposta da população lembra a resposta à absolvição dos policiais que espancaram #RodneyKing em 1992, em Los Angeles. Mineápolis em convulsão social #minneapolisriots
Delegacia de polícia em Mineápolis...
