To show 2 different videos of the Memphis cops beating Tyre Nichols. They warned it was going to be graphic. Im surprised they did that but in a way Im glad they did that. This vicious, senseless, act of violence needs to be seen. You cannot view this without being sickened and infuriated. Policing needs to be fixed in this country. Full stop.
