I dont get this? The cops were fired. They all were also arrested on murder charges. Their day in court is coming. What else do you want?

Oh man, if only police brutality wasn’t a nationwide systemic problem…

But by your rationale, since George Floyd’s killer was convicted, Tyre Nichols should still be alive.

People aren’t just protesting tyre Nichols’ murder.

They are protesting police brutality and demanding system-wide changes.

This isn’t hard unless you’re being willfully obtuse, which in my experience, is a favorite pastime of conservatives on Reddit.

Which they have been doing since Rodney King happened 31 years ago. Protesting obviously doesn’t change anything.

I’m sure that doing nothing and ignoring it will change things.

Conservatives just hate that people are protesting police brutality.

Just look at how they lost their minds at Kaepernick peacefully protesting.

I think reform would be a good start.

Stuff like this has been going on nationwide for decades. Often without a police camera either available or conveniently disabled. With the raise of smartphones and more departments requiring body cameras, the truth of these matters has come to light more frequently.

But these things, unfortunately, happen for a reason. Those reasons are exactly what needs to change, so stuff like this no longer happens.
