The video of the killing of Tyre Nichols by a specialized policing unit reveals in graphic detail how America’s reliance on specialized police units comes with tragic consequences. Taya Graham and Stephen Janis discuss what this extrajudicial killing says about the continued emphasis on militarized policing and how its ongoing evolution is both anti-democratic and fundamentally destructive.

It should be evident to all people that the State is illegitimate. It needs to be dismantled and dissolved peacefully. There is a better way to exist.
I still remember Rodney king and the LA riots. That was like 30 years ago. Things just get worse no matter what citizens do or say.
These tyrant cop's act like slave catchers.😢
Tyre & Steven. GREAT SHOWS
great JOB
keep it UP PLEASE & THANK YOU
"We" don't accept police brutality, I beg to differ!
Calling this guys specialized in anything, besides killing unarmed man is stupid. Fuck you!!
Think if they were going against 3 or 4 armed man, Would you call them specialized than. No they would be victims, is it only me or I'm stupid???
As a law abiding citizen, this doesn't make me feel safe, this just tells me that I can tell a violent murderer by the uniform, badge, gun, and cruiser, and my first thought upon seeing these uniformed killers is "I don't wanna die, please god let them pass me by"
wow the sickness is real,,im so confused though,,i thought black people didnt kill black people?hmm who knew? its like learning through after 60 years of my life im a white racist even if im indian,,now i have to learn to be this person? right?
Just shows that preditors use positions of authority to hunt prey and get away with murder… Scary and sad
Will you go to Heaven when you die? Have you lied, stolen, used God’s name in vain, or lusted (which Jesus said was adultery, Mt. 5:28)? If so, God sees you as a liar, thief, blasphemer, and adulterer at heart. If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there's good news. Though we broke God's Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (Jn. 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses. He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior. Please, today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will forgive you and grant you the gift of eternal life (Eph. 2:8,9). Then, to show your gratitude, read the Bible daily and obey it, join a Christian church, and be baptized.
Don't mind me im just sharing the gospel!
Thank you Taya for your coverage of this story, there is no excuse for these officer's conduct and everyone of them will get there day before God✌ï¸ðŸ‘
This type of police behavior has been common since Nixon announced the War on Drugs. Just look at the endless number of No-Knock Raids on innocent people's homes. First, cops kill the pets. Even small dogs or a dog that was in the backyard on a leash. Then, cops point guns at everyone, including, little kids. They have no qualms about killing an innocent person "in the line of duty."
Cops are NOT our friends. They get a 'high' from abusive behavior. Notice how they do this to unarmed civilians but not with criminals that might pose a threat to them. For instance, when cops arrested Whitey Bulger they waited for the right time and place to nab him because they feared he would be armed. They didn't raid his home or throw a flash grenade into his living room. Why? Cos he may have put up a fight.
Take my advice:
– don't talk to police. talk to them only if you have to. For instance, you were in a car wreck or were the victim of a crime.
– don't associate with police. (I know this is harsh but disown family members who are cops. They have no moral compass.)
– film police misconduct whenever you see it (that shouldn't be hard to find)
– if you own a restaurant, don't allow police officers to eat there. (Police invite cause trouble everywhere they go.)
– if stopped by a cop be courteous. don't make any sudden movements because you may get shot. Show them your ID but don't answer questions if you believe the cop is accusing you of a crime.
– if you are ever arrested, DEMAND A LAWYER. DO NOT OFFER TO TALK TO POLICE. There are thousands of people in prison today who were coerced into a giving a false confession. Don't be one of them.
– remember, police view us as the enemy. They have an 'us vs them' mentality. Stay away from them.
– furthermore, keep in mind that the police you see on TV is fiction. Cops don't want what is best for us. They want to take away our freedoms, cause conflict and chaos, and demean us whenever possible.
– Finally, don't break any laws. Don't be a criminal. Be an honest person who obeys the law so that you don't attract unwanted attention.
Lower standards period. This is what you get when you let then pass the test when they can't pass the test. And then the affair… what's real? What's honest? What's truth? All I heard is trash talk in the entire video.
I can’t wait till yhwh burns there flesh for killing there own brother wow I hope they get there bums filled In jail
THEY COMMITTED A MURDER AND THE OTHER VIDEO I WATCHED AFTERWARDS A POLICE COMPLAINED ABOUT INJURY
I'm in the uk watching this. It breaks my heart hearing that lad crying out for his mum with his last breaths. How his mum copes, knowing that her son was kicked to death by the people who were supposed to protect him, is mind-boggling. All five of those cops are animals who don't deserve freedom
It's NOT America as you say. There are so many decent people and, yes, even police officers, that live and work across our country. Don't generalize this horrible example of rogue cops and apply it to every police officer and police department across the country.
Had to go through two YouTube warnings just to get it to play
Brutal attacks on citizens, criminal or not, by the few police, specialized or not, indicates serious lack of training and supervision. This responsibility rests w the Chief, Mayor, and ultimately the Gov.
the us is sick
SO, A PIG COULDN'T KEEP A WOMAN. HE GETS HIS THUG CLAN TO MURDER THIS MAN, THEN SENT HER A PHOTO OF HIS BODY. THEY'LL BE PLACED AROUND PEOPLE THAT WILL DO THE SAME THING TO THEM. HOW MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THE TORMENT POLICE DELIVER TO CITIZEN'S. FIRE THE CHIEF OF POLICE. THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR HER OR THE UNIFORMS WORN. SHE CAME FROM "ATL" RED DOGS IS ANOTHER KILLER GROUP IN "ATL" SHE GOT NO RESPECT THERE.
COLORADO HAS "HEAD HUNTER'S" SAME TORMENT, STALKINGS, HARASSMENTS, AND AUTHORITIES KNOW. WHAT THE HELL ARE WE PAYING THESE PEOPLE FOR?
WHEN UR' BOLD ENOUGH TO GET LIC. PLATES TO BRAG ABOUT BEING A HEAD HUNTER SEE THESE LIC. PLATE NMBRS>>>"HNTRGRL" HUNTER GIRL
HAV-905/HUN-*
ALL STATE "HUNTER" PLENTY MORE COLORADO AUTHORITIES AND REPORTS SIT WITH YA, 2023 LAZY AND UR' UN~FIT!
Medical people were fired and a 7th cop charged!!
Race has nothing to do with this problem, turn MSNBC and CNN off!
Everyone should be held accountable no matter their job, we clearly see what our government thinks of We The People as they live pretty well off of our tax dollars!!!
I am a republican and I don't like today's policing!!
People can't blame the cops because americans demanded security after 911 over freedom.
This is what the second amendment IS FOR
If you don't think all cops are Fascist criminal terrorist scum bags. Then you are a criminal piece of SH!T.
There is no such thing as a good piece of government in America any longer. The only time there was a good piece of government was when it stayed the hell out of your life and everyone else's
`they broke his neck thats why he couldnt sit up
Power trips. Murder units.
In the great land of the free.
Proves black police r willing to kill black more than white. If in one video it said this was fun. Proves what I say about blacks. They kill blacks for sports
Man fighting for his life. His own people doing this to this poor man. Why the white boy is not charged?
Maybe he was running his mouth
What would you all do if that was white cops
I am a black Democrat and I know that my own people have police scared alls you have to do is listen and don't say a word
If you get told to get on the ground get on the and screw all of you panzi people that are so sensitive FJB and liberals
When you join the military what do you expect when you join a force of policing what do you expect
Any cop that shoots or kills a person is 90% just afraid for their life because they our pussies or just straight-up assholes
But guess what they even tried to pull a white guy into the scenario this is pathetic they're looking for excuses they're looking for reasons or anything that can get them off
This is what happens when you give too much power to the government
This is my first comment since this happened animals vicious animals are vicious animals and they need to be drug through the streets by the neck on a news white black purple green I don't give a fuk
What a lot of people dont know is that if you go to jail with no existing family alive they put you in the system as a nobody
If this was white police officer's there would be no swift justice never has been this clearly shows you the racism in America
Dear God, wow! I'm a mom of 3 young men. My heart breaks for this horrific, unnecessary event. 💔 🙠🤲 Shame on those officers. May they rot in hell.
I would be in the grave or in jail if he was my son.May ELOHIM judgment be quick with the death penalty or life in prison for every Satanic heathen murderous cop involved.😈🔥
Apparently it's up to citizens to calm and de-escalate the violent impulses of police. Maybe better training of citizens could help. Certainly nothing can be done to moderate police behavior.
I don't have an addiction to cops. In fact just the thought of them makes me physically ill.
POLICE HEROICALLY WAR and OPPRESS TAXPAYERS for STATE PROFIT":
Police "Serve and Protect" the state for economic PROFIT at the expense of its ignorant taxpayers!Â
The police do not serve God or the ignorant taxpayers that pay their salaries! (Castle Rock vs Gonzales 545 U.S. 748 (2005).
QUALIFIED IMMUNITY is the SHIELD that protects CORRUPT Fairy-tale Heroes in BLUE from Accountability and Liability distinguishing the POLICE as the #1 "Most Hated TAX Collecting TYRANTS" against "We the ignorant American People" and, humanity! (Money, Arrest, or Death?) MAD!!!
99% of police work has nothing to do with major crimes, it's actually the opposite! (Traffic Tickets!)
– QUALIFIED IMMUNITY "PERVERTS" HUMANITY AND EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL…
