I really feel for people who have to be afraid of the police just because of the colour of their skin.

The death of Tyre Nichols was so wrong and absolutely hideous. He grew up in the city I come from, which is not very far from where I now live. So there's a lot of local news about him. He was a decent, nice person. Loved skateboarding, the ocean, and was into photography. He has a young son.

And YES - as if the murder isn't horrifying enough, the 5 cops who beat Tyre Nichols to death are themselves Black. I hope the hounds of hell come down on them, but I won't be at all surprised if they are not convicted, or are given light convictions, simply because they are cops.
