Five ex-police officers have been charged with second-degree murder after a man died following a traffic stop in Memphis, Tennessee.

Tyre Nichols, 29, died three days after his arrest on 7 January for alleged reckless driving.

The officers, who are all black, also face charges of aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression.

Well I guess those that accuse the BBC of having a narrative and burying stories when they show the race involved will have to re think their rants.

Why, it happened in Atlanta just recently, with a police car burned.

What's not to love, they'll destroy the black neighborhoods and go back to the upper scale priviledged white homes.

Is this supposed to be your link to Antifa?

 

There is no evidence provided that they were there. the New York Post report makes an unsubstantiated claim here:

 

Hundreds of far-left activists, including Antifa, had gathered on Saturday evening at the Five Points neighborhood in downtown Atlanta to protest the death of their comrade who died in a shootout with police earlier in the week at an occupation south of the city.

 

The sub link it directs to goes to their other article here where this was suppose to confirm their claim but again absolutely no mention of Antifa:

Deny what? Unfounded claims. Provide some evidence and I'll be more than happy to agree that Antifa was involved. At the moment we have militant extremists who need to be punished but does that mean all left wing militants are now labelled as Antifa?

 

Your latest article again provides nothing but a headline and tweet from someone who was banned for 2 years and just allowed back on twitter:

Didn't officials get in first? Seems they are doing the right thing no?

 

Officials in Memphis have braced for potential civil unrest and have called for peaceful protests ahead of video of the fatal police encounter that’s expected to be publicly released Friday. The local school district also canceled all after-school activities Friday in the “interest of public safety.”

Police departments across the country – including in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Nashville and New York – told CNN they were either monitoring events or already had plans in place in case of protests.

Is the reason you haven't provided a source for your claim because you know you are misrepresenting him?  He said any protests should be peaceful, not that people should protest.

 

President Biden released a statement on Thursday appealing for calm as authorities prepare to release the footage on Friday evening, local time.

"I join Tyre's family in calling for peaceful protest," he said. "Outrage is understandable, but violence is never acceptable."

US President Joe Biden called for "peaceful protest" as authorities prepare to release the footage on Friday evening local time.

 

Seems to me its not ok for the leader of the USA to call for demonstrations .

The hypocrisy is outrageous!

A protest (also called a demonstration, remonstration or remonstrance) is a public expression of objection, disapproval or dissent towards an idea or action, typically a political one.

It seems clear that he's saying that protests should be peaceful, not that there should be protests. There's a wilful inability to comprehend meaning but the Biden haters. It's as if they never studied comprehension as part of English lessons in school.

 

In fact it beggars the imagination that any president should call for protests at all. Oh, wait...

Torture the English language as much as you want, it doesn't make sense that Biden would be calling for protests. Nor is this a protest about race so I don't get the antifa references. It's about police brutality.

Mr Sharpton is accusing the Police officers of being racists , saying they wouldn't have done what they did had the person been White 

 

 

Mr Sharpton also said he believes the outcome would have been different if the alleged victim in the incident was white.

"I do not believe these five black police officers would have done this had he been a young white man," he said.

You can't concede that it was a plea for peaceful as opposed to violent protests? The protests themselves were inevitable, regardless of what Biden said. Can you concede that much?
