Republicans Partly Responsible for Tyre Nichols Death
Republicans are partly responsible for the deaths Tyre Nichols, George Floyd, 12-year-old Tamir Rice and others due to refusing to eliminate “Qualified Immunity”, so bad cops can be held personally accountable and SUED for their actions.
Eliminating Qualified Immunity would make cops think twice about engaging in abusive conduct like they did to Tyre Nichols. If they knew they would be PERSONALLY SUED if they abused civilians, Tyre Nichols and other who were beaten and killed by Police may still be alive today.
REPUBLICANS wants to keep Qualified Immunity intact… DEMOCRATS want Qualified Immunity eliminated so bad cops can be held accountable.
Therefore REPUBLICANS are partly responsible for Tyre Nichols death.
Ending Qualified Immunity Once and For All is the Next Step in Holding Police Accountable | ACLU
As we approach the first anniversary of the killing of George Floyd, ending the doctrine that often lets officers avoid accountability is critical.
Per the above article: “Ending Qualified Immunity Once and For All is the Next Step in Holding Police Accountable”
“Qualified immunity fosters an environment where government agents, including police, may feel empowered to violate people’s rights with the knowledge they will face few consequences. This erodes relationships with the community and diminishes the system’s credibility. Under qualified immunity, lives can be taken with impunity. It’s past time to heed the protesters’ signs, and end this doctrine once and for all”.
- President Biden has already committed to the creation of a national, model use-of-force standard as one of his racial equity priorities. The ACLU is currently lobbying Congress to pass legislation that ensures this model standard truly conforms to the best practices in the field by embracing the principles set forth in the PEACE Act, which would permit officers to use force only when necessary, proportional, and as a last resort, after less extreme alternatives are exhausted. That standard would not only apply to federal agents, it would provide incentives to state and local police departments to adopt the rule.
- Ayanna Pressley’s End Qualified Immunity Act would end qualified immunity for state and local actors.

Video shows police in Buffalo, NY shoving a 75-year-old man to the ground during a protest. Seconds later, a pool of blood can be seen near his head. If Police knew they would be sued for bad conduct, they above incident probably wouldn’t have happened. This is just one (1) example of how holding cops personally responsible for bad conduct could make a huge difference.
Police brutality in the US – in 90 seconds
Militarization of Police: When Tyranny Comes Home
Since the end of the Cold War, SWAT teams have proliferated across the United States and the number of no-knock raids on private citizens has risen dramatically. Abby Hall and Chris Coyne explain that this is the result of the boomerang effect– the process by which, in the absence of strong formal constraints, tactics used in foreign interventions abroad are later used to limit the liberties of people back home.
REPUBLICAN TRUMP’S AMERICA… a POLICE state where Citizens were ATTACKED and MURDERED by Police, the Military, Unidentified Secret Police Attacking and Illegally Detaining Citizens
In totalitarian regimes, the police are brutal, have de-facto immunity and lack of accountability is by design. We see the same type of conduct in the United States because Republicans are by nature, RUTHLESS
