No one should be surprised by BJ’s hypocrisy. Next dismissal will be the case against Officer Kenneth Cha for the fatal shooting of Sean Moore. @BrookeJenkinsSF why don’t you just get it done and dismiss them all at once. We know who you are.

Just when you thought you had heard everything! We now learn that the greatest Congressional charlatan in our lifetime actually steals puppies! Can’t make this stuff up. Add puppy theft to his resume of endless fraud. washingtonpost.com/investiga…

San Francisco- the only major city in America that is afraid to prosecute cops who kill unarmed civilians.

"Families who have lost loved ones at the hands of police are also victims of violence. We deserve basic respect, common courtesy and support. I have had none of that from Jenkins or her staff in charge of this case." sfchronicle.com/opinion/open…

3,591 = # gun violence deaths in the US since 1/1/23 52 = # of mass shootings since 2023 began — more mass shootings than days in the year, = average of 1.6 mass shootings per day. Gun violence = leading cause of death for young people DONATE @AMarch4OurLives

Tyre Nichols Presente! Rest in Power! Black men are not safe during car stops. Black men are not safe.
Replying to @MKEDefenders
Instead, remember Tyre Nichols as his family wanted him to be remembered. As a good man, who loved photography, skateboarding, and his family. We will never stop fighting for change, and neither should you. 7/7

The men and women who swore to protect and serve, let a man die in front of them, for an alleged traffic traffic violation. An allegation that turned out to be a lie. If you can’t bring your self to watch the video, don’t. It’s painful, scary, and void of any humanity. 6/7

Seeing paramedics and other officers walk up to Tyre Nichols and do absolutely nothing while he laid there, dying, shows how entrenched “protecting your own” is in those who work alongside police. It’s what makes that video impossible to watch. 5/7

Sadly, what happened to Tyre Nichols happens everyday. And supervisors, district attorneys, judges, & elected officials cowardly protect their “boys in blue”. 4/7

Watching the videos usually tells a different story, as they did here for Tyre Nichols. Police yell conflicting commands while using excessive force, narrating that someone is resisting when videos shows officers pulling their arms in different directions. 3/7

Tyre Nichols' philosophy of photography: "A good photographer must love life more than photography itself." The eloquence of his words is matched by his photography. He was working toward his dreams. Explore and weep. Does outrage change anything? thiscaliforniakid2.wixsite.c…

—and writing it down or speaking it. I hope to one day let people see what i see and to hopefully admire my work based on the quality and ideals of my work. So on that note enjoy my page and let me know what you think.” - Tyre Nichols thiscaliforniakid2.wixsite.c… is his website.

Tyre Nichols was a photographer. This was his piece called Beale Street Magic. As someone that frequents Memphis, Beale street is known as a amazing place for all. This truly is magic, through his eyes. Through his lens. May his memory be a blessing and may he get justice.
