What Tyre Nichols' Killing Tells Us About Policing: Live With Walter Katz, Nick Gillespie, and Zach Weissmueller
Join Reason on YouTube and Facebook on Thursday at 1 p.m. ET for a discussion of Tyre Nichols, police reform, and violent crime in America, featuring Walter Katz.
"These incidents are never a one-off," Arnold Ventures' Walter Katz wrote in a Twitter thread following the release of a video showing five Memphis police officers beating Tyre Nichols until he collapsed. Nichols died in the hospital three days later. "They are the extreme culmination of behavior that was complained of and ignored."
Join Reason's Nick Gillespie and Zach Weissmueller this Thursday at 1 p.m. Eastern for a live discussion of policing in America with Katz, a former independent police auditor and deputy inspector general in California, deputy chief of staff for public safety in Chicago, and current vice president of criminal justice at Arnold Ventures, a philanthropic LLC that's spent more than $397 million on criminal justice initiatives since 2010. Watch and leave questions and comments on the YouTube video above or on Reason's Facebook page.

This incident highlights that it is time to reTyre the trope that police abuse is due to race instead of the actual problem of too much government.
Given that I was laid off in a terrible financial circumstance a year ago, Google’s weekly benefit of 6850 USD in local currency is astounding. “W Many Thanks Google Reliable for Gifting those Rules and Soon It’s My Commitment to Pay and Rate It With Everyone.. right now I Started..” https://apprichbaba.blogspot.com/
Had Tyre been white he’d still be alive. Had the policemen been white he’d still be alive.
I get paid over 190$ per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I’ve been doing..

Had Tyre been white, no one would be talking about him a week later.
Are you saying that white LEOs don’t kill fleeing black motorists?
Had you said, “had the policemen been white, they wouldn’t have been indicted”, that might have been closer to the truth.
Great article, Mike. I appreciate your work, I’m now creating over $35,400 dollars each month simply by doing a simple job online! I do know You currently making a lot of greenbacks online from $28,400 dollars, its simple online operating jobs.

Stop making us pay for it, we didn’t do anything. Instead, take all damage awards straight out the the police retirement fund so they have skin in the game; or better yet, charge it to the Police Unions.

Yeah, Memphis police is poorly run. Not surprising in a city that is run by authoritarians and progressives and that has numerous other problems, including with crime and violence.
So what’s your point?
Google pays an hourly wage of $100. My most recent online earnings for a 40-hour work week were $3500. According to my younger brother’s acquaintance, he works roughly 30 hours each vad02 week and earns an average of $12,265. I’m in awe of how simple things once were.

How can one event broadly attack an entire group of people, by Reason.
Remember when you idiots defended 93% non violence as the standard for not linking BLM to violent protests?
Cops can be bad. That does not mean all are. Yet the 10th story on this keeps using that broad brush you say nobody can use for other groups.
I am making $92 an hour working from home. I never imagined that it was honest to goodness yet my closest companion is earning $16,000 a month by working on a laptop, that was truly astounding for me, she prescribed for me to attempt it simply. Everybody must try this job now by just using this website. http://Www.workstar24.com
If I thought the problem with police was only 7% I’d leave it alone.
Then you should probably let some reality into your leftist bubble.
And they ignore the fact that all five officers in this incident was black. Race is important here in that the city and the police department likely bought into the notion that police abuse was driven by racism and thought hiring police officers that “look like the community they serve” would be an answer. It was as ill conceived as fire departments lowering standards to hire more women. One of the black cops was a former security guards who had beaten up inmates earlier and some of them had 2 years of experience.
There should be some reform on hiring standards and police unions. But when it come to cops Reason parrots lefty talking points about deterrence and accountability. How do you stop corporate malfeasance? Why, just make it easier to sue them and regulate every aspect of business. How do you stop mass shootings? Simple, just take guns away from everyone. No guns, no deaths. No police officers responding to traffic stops, and the 1% risk of you getting killed by them disappears. Its so simple!
We’ll hear more stories about POC cops killing POCS many times in the future. There will be more shortages as recruits dry up, and police departments will be forced to fill them with club bouncers. You can’t recruit qualified cops if you don’t offer them liability protection. Same thing with senators, companies. Reason talks about unintended consequences EXCEPT for polie.
Maybe stop reducing employment requirements in your pursuit of that marxist metric, equity. What I’ve learned is when minority communities have DEI requirements instituted on them they tend to die. Congrats editor team, you pushed for this and are more responsible for it than White Supremacy.
Well, the left got the police force they wanted. How well is that working out for them? They defund and demoralize the police, driving out competent officers, then force them to hire criminals to be police as well as waiving any standards that used to weed out bad cops, then are shocked when the police actually start to look like the force they pretended it was to begin with.
Well done lefties. Just like everything else you touch, we’re left with a steaming pile of *&^%.
I am making a good salary from home $6580-$7065/week , which is amazing under a year ago I was jobless in a horrible economy. I thank God every day I was blessed with these instructions and now it’s my duty to pay it forward and share it with Everyone,
🙂 AND GOOD LUCK. 🙂
