Great article by FAIR on police murder.
The water carriers like the NYTimes use euphemisms and the passive voice to downplay murder by the state.

Saw on the bird site the video shows two white officers that haven't been charged or fired for tasing #TryeNichols.
The fucking cops are sacrificing the black chips and still covering for the white cops.
County Alerted to Armed Man
South Texas is usually quiet on any given day. We too, do rush about to get to work or church like our “metro - suburban” counterparts but, at a much slower pace. These alerts always make my stomach tight because I know the person (“illegals” to use the local term) the alert is sent out; has a high likelihood of dying or being injured by a officers hand. Our local cops have no one watching them and this is “Fucking Texas” after all where cruelty is the god-damned point. Law enforcement in these small towns are vaulted into a hero worship status like Friday high-school night quarterbacks. My heart just hopes the armed man doesn’t meet the boot and baton or a fast flying slug from our local injustice system in uniform.
I have heard with my own ears jokes about shooting people at a townhall with elected leaders to include federal - the electeds just laughed it off. Those law enforcement men are glorified hunters we pay to treat scared humans like they are vermin. I fear they view brown bodies as non-human and lower than say a deer, they would hunt for their family’s dinner table.
This week (it happens daily) the American public was given a front row seat to view another documented, on video, of murder by cops and first responder apathy. Again, the victim was a man in dire distress and pain - he called out, tried to comply while, those inflicting on Nichols’ his last heartbeat and last cry to the feminine being to gave him life.
MOM! MOM MOM MOM!!!!
They, those in uniforms work as a unit, a fear delivery system, don’t care they are murderers, became tools of oppression, they are shielded until, one or a few of their brotherhood are “sacrificed” to the American legal system, this is to keep the American public in their place - NUMB and COMPLACENT.

the #tryenichols case shows that POC can be cunts too... going to be interesting to see how white middle class left wing nuts whose income depends on being involved heavily in any identity politics of the day will make of this
RT @RJohnston815
Who is this officer (obviously white) who tasered #TryeNichols and why isn’t he part of the national story? Why wasn’t he arrested?
This is the problem with media and law enforcement… they aren’t interested in telling the truth.
Good Afternoon, KKKillumbus. We're online and listening for the #TryeNichols protest today at 1500 at the Ohio Statehouse.
Follow this thread for protest related radio traffic and alerts. 🧵⬇
We white people have a responsibility to bear witness and put our bodies on the line. See you on the streets, Los Angeles. #tryenichols #losangeles #blm #takeaction

This Tyre Nichols footage is going to be bad. Rodney King bad. This time it’ll show 5 black officers beat a black man to death.
That shouldn’t quell our anger. Those officers are enforcing the same systemic racism, protecting the same privileged few and their property. They aren’t serving the community Tyre Nichols lived and died in, they are serving and protecting a community that excludes Tyre Nichols, and all black, brown, and POOR people.
