Tyre posted a black and white photo he took of The Hard Rock Cafe Guitar lite at night. It’s quite good. He said he would be honored to have this picture in every Hard Rock Cafe. I’m trying to get the word out to make his dream come true. Maybe you can help Mary.
It was an immediate decision for me, not to view the video. I've always had a very visceral reaction to violence. And when hate is the motivating factor, I see evil. For the most part, I'm not someone who lives with fear or has allowed it much power in my life. But I fear evil. The face of Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd's neck, will never leave me. Because it was the face of evil. So given a choice, I can't/won't subject my psyche to seeing that again. May God rest all of the victim's souls.
How very thoughtful, Mary, to remind us to look at "the good": the man Tyre was, his love of life, the things that gave him joy, and the contributions he made to the world.
This. Must. Stop. Point the grim reaper finger of death to the legislators, sheriffs, and law enforcement who got us here. They all are responsible and must be called out by name. The leaders who fund it and those who vote on the tough on crime platform. Blood on their hands.
If you have not seen Tyre's photography website, please share it far and wide. What a beautiful soul taken from this world. Just too much sadness in the news. So many heartbroken families ... We mustn't forget Tyre and the many others gone before him ... Peace to all.
Without knowing of the horror of Tyre Nichols’ death most people would not know of him at all. We would have no reason to learn about his death in order to protect others of today and the future.
Thank you so much for sharing Tyre Nichols's photography website with us (earlier post, I believe). He was so talented. I won't watch the video, I don't doubt the police brutality one bit, but his images underscored what a horrific loss this is.
Tyre Nichols Death Shows why regardless of racial profiles The Police Reform Act Should be passed in Congress, To Correct this kind of unnecessary "Brutal" killing, The Races of The Victim and Cops is Irrelevant, specifically the POLICE NEED REFORM now. We cannot continue to Authorize Police to be SO OBSCENELY BRUTAL without a care for the facts of the situation. Police are not Omnipotent as you see all of Offending Police Arrested, PROBLEM IS they get bail, Fuck, The Judge Should have remanded them to jail immediately NO BAIL, but that pesky qualified immunity keeps allowing Offending cops to get BAIL but if a citizen did this they would be remanded. WE MUST STOP QUALIFIED IMMUNITY IN POLICING because cops use their unions and DAs to create Interference GIVING THE OFFENDING COPS far more rights than an average citizen READ THE CONSTITUTION no on is above the law Your Loyal Fan John Pillin

Thank you. Let’s remember Tyre Nichols as the human being he was and not for the horror of his death.

Thank goodness for you Mary. You help to keep me grounded in my belief that there are still good people who actually give a damn about our democracy 😉
Thanks for your poignant words. ❤

Thank you for expressing what Tyre gave to the world. A message to cherish life.

Mary, I am moved by your creative work.

I think of the mammas and their fear each time their son or grandson leaves home.
As horrible as it was, I felt a duty to watch the body cam video. Thanks Mary for capturing what many of us feel.
