Summary
Yesterday, family and attorneys saw the body camera footage and said that Tyre was beaten worse than Rodney King. They said it was like they were beating a human piñata.
And it's all so outrageously exhausting. We've already marched and protested and demonstrated and the best thing I can compare this country to is an abusive spouse. That clearly doesn't love or respect us in any way.
I know the District Attorney in this case and our staff @RealJustice helped get him elected. We believe he will do right by this family.
Let me unpack and explain it.
