Summary

Another horrific act of police brutality occurred in Memphis, where five police officers beat a black man named Tyre Nichols to death. The Christian Left responded by blaming white supremacy even though all five officers were black. Cooper Stuff explains why they claim this; why they are wrong; and why their calls for unity are by nature divisive. Lastly, we encourage people to refuse to lie, even when pressured to do so for the sake of “unity.” There can be no true unity without division.
