I’m not showing the other video
Of Tyre Nichols getting beaten to a pulp by Memphis police. All you needto know is that he was beaten so badly, he was calling out for his mother. Let’s remember the man like this:

Accidentally on purpose
"Tipping died after being injured by a fellow officer who was under investigation for sexually assaulting a woman…the assault happened in July 2021 and involved four LAPD officers…one of the officers was present at the training exercise."https://t.co/Lhqqq4xkHI
