Woke up thinking about Tyre Nichols’ family. Thinking about a man who was a father, a son, a friend. Thinking about how unsettling it was to have a countdown to the release of the tape. Thinking about what it means, for all of us, to have to go through this again & again & again.

By tonight, a video of the brutal police attack on Tyre Nichols will be everywhere. His family requested this video of Tyre be shared to show his talent, brightness, & palpable humanity. Behind every act of state brutality is a real person, not a statistic. #RIPTyreNichols pic.twitter.com/x6MZpraa9l

“They beat my son like a piñata. My son, he had Crohn’s disease, he had surgery in 2013. My son weighed a buck 50.”

You don’t have to watch the video of #TyreNichols being beaten by police.

You don’t have to subject yourself to that trauma.
It should not require another video of a Black human being dehumanized for anyone to understand that police brutality is an urgent, devastating issue.

The effort to separate the officers who murdered Tyre Nichols from the system of policing that produced them is palpable.

Police killings in the US reached a record high in 2022. That has only been rewarded with more funding at the expense of schools, hospitals, housing, & more.

Tyre Nichols should have made it home to his family. Yet tonight, once again, America mourns a life brutally cut short at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve.

Tyre Nichols was a father.

Tyre Nichols was a creative.
Tyre Nichols’ life mattered.
Tyre Nichols should still be alive.
