Great point. Is @elonmusk smart enough to take @SRuhle 's advice? — PolitiTweet.org

@DaphneQuonset It made me tear up. — PolitiTweet.org

@DanSimchuk congrats — PolitiTweet.org

@MoForoughi But the others watched it happen. If a gang were beating someone to death and the police watched, they would be guilty of aiding and abetting. No different if the gang is police. — PolitiTweet.org

@phonedthisin Tyre died because of fists and batons and taser, not guns. Sensible gun control is important but not relevant here. — PolitiTweet.org

@DanaScottlo Thank you for posting this compilation. — PolitiTweet.org

This is the most painful reminder of what the brutal beating by Memphis police did. Read the attached and click on the link to Tyre Nichols' photography and see how he saw the world and read his tender words. Remember him and demand justice for him. https://t.co/yIBpqZU49O — PolitiTweet.org

"It seems to me that I should stand aside tonight and let Mr. Nichols represent himself. His photography is here." You must go to her substack link above and click on Tyre Nichols' photography and read his words. It is so much more about who he was and what we all lost. — PolitiTweet.org

1/After reading https://t.co/yIBpqZU49O from @HC_Richardson, I know what to say. She wrote: "There is a great deal to say here, but everything I write seems to flatten Mr. Nichols’s life into the few minutes of brutal beating that led to his death. — PolitiTweet.org

One more question to add to this list: at times, it looked like there were at least 8 officers present so why only 5 indicted? — PolitiTweet.org

@diana_over_here TV station. Ambulance. — PolitiTweet.org

@AlersCecilia I'll reread it to get the answer. — PolitiTweet.org

Please share your thoughts on this criminal event and your emotional reactions and thoughts for solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

5/Why did no one in the neighborhood who must have seen the police lights and heard Tyre's screams respond? Yes, I know they must have been afraid and knew they couldn't call the police to stop the police but what about a TV station or ambulance or taking cell phone videos? — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

4/And I have more questions: Why couldn't 5 police subdue a slender man? How bad are the police physically that Tyre could outrun every officer? How did police pepper spray themselves? Why were they using spray and Tasers? Why did no one aid him -- at times there were at least 8? — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

3/But even if it was a legitimate traffic stop, chasing Tyre, an employed 29 year old father, & beating him can never be justified. Worse, standing around & offering no aid. Waiting more than 20 minutes for an ambulance cruel and criminal. Why didn't police drive him to hospital? — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

2/It shows the cultural problem of the police in a new light. We cannot blame the racism and the violence on White officers. Here 5 Black officers beat to death a Black man, alleged to have committed a traffic offense -- which I didn't see on the videos. Where is it? — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

1/Even hours after watching the Memphis videos of the police brutally beating #TyreNichols, I am angry and sad and unsure what to say. Many cannot -- and should not -- watch this because of its senseless violence, but we must talk about how to prevent this from repeating again. — PolitiTweet.org

@bunkyResists Haven't seen that app. I was asking about your using Kettering to move around. That seems fair and productive to me. — PolitiTweet.org

@wheredkittygo Take action and the fear goes away. Write postcards to help good candidates win. Write an op ed on an issue you care about. Raise $ fir a hood cause. Volunteer at a soup kitchen. Etc — PolitiTweet.org

@WaukeshaWend Great job! — PolitiTweet.org

Jill Wine-Banks @JillWineBanks

@wheredkittygo @TheRickWilson Yes, but I focus on one at a time that I can tackle. It helps to do that and take action. — PolitiTweet.org
