This is Emmett Brock. Last year an LA sheriff's deputy beat him on camera, claiming Emmett bit him. Emmett - a 23 yo teacher - was arrested & lost his job.

Now, a judge says there's "no evidence" Brock bit the deputy - and declared him factually innocent

Rep. Shackleford cont: “Even when the officers at fault are Black or people of color – as is the case in the killing of Tyre Nichols – they are still acting on behalf of the overarching force that for centuries has victimized Black men, women and children…”

We need @MLK50Memphis today more than ever before. Thankful for the visionary leadership of @wendi_c_thomas!

[Daphne Duret @dd_writes]

Watching #TyreNichols video for work tonight and remembering the sheer number of videos I’ve seen of police beating subdued or handcuffed people. In cases where the beatings are later deemed justified, the officers tie each blow to “ensuring officer safety.” Why is this?
