BALTIMORE – Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown has released the following statement in regard to the killing of Tyre Nichols:
“I extend my deepest condolences to the family of Tyre Nichols, and to the community in Memphis and beyond that knew him and mourns his passing. I also grieve for our American community, which still has so far to travel to reach the goal of justice for all.
“These videos, and the horrors that they portray, have been felt here in Maryland and across the nation. Protesting injustice is a proud American tradition, and I stand with you in peaceful opposition to the violence and degradation portrayed in these videos.
“As the Attorney General, I promise to uphold the ideals that all Marylanders share – that justice should not depend on race or wealth or geography, and that no person or profession is exempt from the rule of law. I promise to be present with our Maryland community while we reckon with injustice, and to listen and learn as we work together to ensure that the brutality that ended Mr. Nichols’ life will never happen again.”
Tyree Nichols murder was horrible. The way that these officers attacked him shouldn’t of happened. My thoughts are this. They stopped him for a traffic offense and drug him out of his car. They used pepper spray and a stun gun on him. He saw his chance to excape which he did. An APB was issued over the radio and a patrol unit found and detained him. Then this so called Scorpion Squad arrived on the scene with Mob mentality because he excaped them. Plus with spraying themselves with pepper spray while trying to detain this poor man they were enraged to the point that they started beating him to death. This is nothing more then murder. Murdered by the people who are sworn to Protect the citizens and NOT to killl them.
All 5 should rot in prison
They will all get off, guaranteed….
