The issue that has really moved a lot of folks like me who used to be distracted by the "why did they have gun?" argument off to fully into the ACAB perspective is that bad cops are so rarely punished.
It can be the most cut and dry case of murder and the cops get off, typically with ZERO jail time or direct economic penalty.
Literally the same one of the US most well covered cases of police murder had this update . . .
Update in the Tyre Nichols case, the cops who murdered him have now been acquitted.
Exhibit A for why don't I give a singular flying fuck when a cop allegedly becomes road kill.
FUCK THE POLICE & PISS ON THEIR GRAVES.
We shouldn't have to be talking about Tyre in the past tense. He should be still with us, with his mum and his family, going about his life.
And letting them off with it? Its just state-sanctioned murder. I CANNOT imagine the void left behind in his family or, the unnecessary pain they must now carry with them
@Jaden3
"Why is #TyreNichols not trending?" Maybe because his story is unknown. Do you have a link to what happened and why he was arrested? If possible with details like date and place and time and court report.
@Jaden3
The question I'm asking is why Memphis hasn't broken out into full-on riots yet. As soon as I heard the verdict, I thought the city would erupt. #TyreNichols
This shit so close to me and my family.
Tyre Nichols beaten to a pulp by memphis cops . Tyre was calling his momma for help while they murdered him. An all white jury acquitted the cops !
My brother got stopped 2 years ago jumped a red light. Cops escalated the situation so my bruh hit back he got jail time . That what they wanted! It's a fcking set up !
ŔIP Tyre 
fck the police

I don't understand how fatally beating #TyreNichols isn't murder. Can you beat someone by mistake?
What reason does a cop ever have to beat someone even?
Rhetorical of course, the answer is cops are human-shaped piles of shit.
@Jaden3 too many die in the hands of the cops
so many needless deaths

- Trois policiers ont été acquittés de toutes les charges au niveau de l’État.
- Deux policiers ont plaidé coupable dans le cadre d’accords.
- Tous attendent encore leur sentence fédérale pour falsification de preuve, mais aucun n’a été reconnu coupable de meurtre ou d’agression aggravée par la justice de l’État du Tennessee.
Why is #TyreNichols not trending on #mastodon ?????

The country is reacting with disappointment after the acquittal of three former Memphis police officers in the 2023 death of Tyre Nichols, an unarmed Black man fatally beaten during a traffic stop. Civil rights leaders say the case highlights the need for police reform. https://bit.ly/4iTqJtx #tyrenichols
3 former #Memphis officers not guilty in death of #TyreNichols
