Justice or No Justice · Black Girl Interrupted Podcast

0:07
Speaker 1: Dropped.
0:43
Speaker 2: Man, Oh my goodness, your girl is back. Black Girl
0:50
interrupted his back. Y'all have brought your girl out of retirement.
0:55
I was done. I was done doing this podcast. But
0:59
I had somebody tell me yesterday I got to give
1:05
the gap and I need to step back into what
1:10
I'm good at doing, and that's this. Let me say this,
1:18
Today has been one hell of a day for me.
1:24
But I don't want to talk about that, right. I
1:26
want to talk about it, but then let me just
1:28
say this. Let me say this for another show, because
1:31
what I want to do is I want to jump
1:33
into the meat and potatoes of tonight's conversation and what
1:36
has brought me back front and center. But anybody that
1:40
has never tuned into a Black Girl interrupt that podcast,
1:44
anyone knows that I always, always, always, always, always always
1:48
have to do a mental health check in on this
1:53
beautiful Wednesday, wellness Wednesday. But I have to do a
1:56
mental health check in. And before I do that, I
1:59
just want to I love you guys. I do want
2:03
to first say it is Mental Health Awareness Month, so
2:07
if you are struggling, please don't sit alone, Please don't
2:10
stay by yourself. Reach out. I had to do it myself.
2:16
But before we jump into Tonight's conversation, y'all know I
2:21
gotta always play something encouraging, inspiring and inspirational. So here
2:26
we go, and after that we're jumping right into Tonight's conversation.
2:37
Speaker 3: If the lion is the king of the jungle, how
2:40
can he be the king of the jungle If he's
2:43
not the biggest. The elephant is probably one of the biggest.
2:49
He can't be the fastest, because that's a cheatingh He
2:53
can't be the smartest, so he's not the biggest, the fastest,
2:57
or the smartest. So how does a lion become the
3:03
king of the jungle. It's mentality. That's the only difference
3:10
of a lion and an elephant. When a lion walks
3:14
up and sees an elephant, he thinks lunch. An elephant
3:18
thanks running. And it's all mentality because when a male
3:24
lion walks up, he may be out numbered by a
3:26
pack of hyenas. But I'm keen of my jungle because
3:32
of my mentality.
3:34
Speaker 4: What happens when you're baziled and you're not being pushed,
3:37
you're not being proud of, you're not giving it a
3:39
reward nobody's encouraging you.
3:41
Speaker 5: What happens when you are.
3:42
Speaker 4: Bezel and the lion's not chasing anymore, you stop running
3:46
at you. But what happens when you're a lion. When
3:48
you are a lion, it does not make a difference.
3:51
You realize that if your family is going to eat that,
3:55
if that pack of lions is to survive, then you
3:58
gotta go hunt.
4:01
Speaker 3: A part of being a beast just ain't eating a gazelle.
4:04
Speaker 4: A part of being a beast is the hunts. It's
4:06
the hunt that they're excited about. They like to see
4:09
the gazelles run to poove, they take off because real lions.
4:13
Speaker 1: Like to hunt.
4:14
Speaker 4: They love the process just as much as they love
4:16
the prize.
4:17
Speaker 3: And some of y'all just want to score.
4:18
Speaker 4: You don't like the process, you're not in love with
4:21
the process. A true hunter's go. It's not the prize.
4:25
A true hunter's go. It's to hunt. That's what they
4:28
live for. They live to hunts. They don't just live
4:31
to catch it. It's the whole process. When you are
4:34
a true hunter, you don't go by time you go
4:37
buy the gazelle. When you are a true hunter, you
4:40
hunt until you get a gazelle, and you don't stop until.
4:42
Speaker 6: You get one, and then.
4:43
Speaker 4: You get another, and then you get another, and you
4:46
get another. If you're gonna do what you say you're
4:48
gonna do, be what you say you're gonna be, you're
4:50
gonna have to lie in me out. You are Gazel.
4:53
Speaker 7: You're gonna come up short.
4:54
Speaker 4: You are Gazel. You're gonna have an average experience.
4:57
Speaker 3: You're a student that needs you a lion mold. You
4:59
allowed to for I need you a lion mode.
5:01
Speaker 4: You're trying to lose weight lion mode. You can't do
5:04
nothing significant in Gazel mode. Nothing nothing impressive happened in
5:09
Gazel mode. Nothing happened in run mode, jip up mode,
5:12
quit mode, scared mode, fearful more, nothing happened. Everything happened
5:16
in lime mode, like I'm coming to get you.
5:41
Speaker 2: A man. So that is always gonna be. My motivation
5:47
is for me to be the lion and for me
5:49
to keep going. So before I jump into tonight's episode,
5:57
let me say this. I asked that everyone stay respectful.
6:03
I ask if we're going to have logical conversations, that
6:07
you stay respectful of people's opinions and comments. Because tonight's
6:12
conversation is very sensitive. It's very very very sensitive. It
6:17
could be very triggering to others. So I do ask
6:20
that you stay respectful with your comments, with your opinions,
6:24
because there are going to be some. Maybe a lot,
6:28
maybe a little, but there are going to be some opinions.
6:35
As many of you know, I have been covering the
6:38
Tyree Nichols trial. The verdict came down today. Tonight's show
6:47
is Justice or No Justice. Let me take a deep breath,
6:57
let me pray over this conversation, because again, this is
7:00
very sensitive, not only to me, but also to others.
7:05
Maybe not the whole black community, maybe the black community,
7:09
maybe the white community, the Latino maybe everybody's upset. But
7:14
I know I could tell you right now I'm very
7:15
disappointed and the way justice was carried out for Tyrie
7:21
Nichols approximately two years and five months ago today, Tyry
7:29
Nichols was brutally beaten, savagely brutalized at the hands of
7:36
seven Memphis police officers. When I first started, when I
7:46
first when the story first broke, I was speechless, and
7:55
then I said, not again, not another one. Let me
8:08
say this. Tyree Nichols is our brother, our cousin, our friend,
8:18
a nephew, he's one of ours. And to sit and
8:28
I watched the video when they first released the body
8:31
cam footage, and when I say, I was absolutely sick
8:36
and my stomach to sit and watch seven, not one,
8:43
not two. Seven black police officers savagely beat twenty seven
8:55
year old Tyrene Nichols over a traffic style. I remember
9:02
back in the day traffic stops were you got a ticket,
9:06
a warning, and you are on your way. In this
9:12
temperature of the climate right now, a traffic stop could
9:16
warrant a brutal beating or death. Black men and black women,
9:24
black boys and black girls are no longer going home.
9:30
They're either going to jail or they're going in bags.
9:36
What I'm about go to say will rattle some cages. Unfortunately, y'all,
9:43
we don't have the complexion for the protection. And I'm
9:46
gonna be the first to say that some of you
9:51
may agree, some of you may not, Some of you
9:53
may agree, some of you may disagree, and that's fine,
9:58
but at the end of the day, there was a
10:00
miscarriage injustice. I'm really trying to take my emotions out
10:14
of this because right now I feel angry I feel rage,
10:20
and in order for me to be able to have
10:21
logical conversations, I need to be I need to have
10:25
a level head. So I'm gonna pause in between our
10:33
conversation because again, I want to have a level head
10:37
so we can have a logical conversation. But there was
10:42
absolutely today a miscarriage of justice on the state side.
10:48
Let me say that. Let me let me let me
10:50
clarify that on the state side, because many of you
10:55
that have followed me as I as I've followed the
10:59
trial in this case of Tyree Nichols, very passionate about
11:04
this because it's his tone. Because I have a black son,
11:08
I have two black daughters. I have black nieces, black nephews,
11:12
black cousins, black aunts, black uncles, and this could have
11:16
been one of them. What happened to Tyrie Nichols should
11:25
not have happened. I've seen comments where they say, oh,
11:32
he should have complied. Filando could still complied in what happened.
11:43
He was still killed. You have Dylan Ruth, I believe
11:51
that's his name. The young man that went and shot
11:53
up the church was taken a burger king before he
11:58
was taken a jail. Let's talk about Kyle Rittenhouse, who
12:09
was during his trial, was taking pictures with the judge
12:15
and he went and killed three people for what. Oh,
12:19
that's right, he was out there trying to help us, right, Okay.
12:27
I look at the countless black men, black women, black boys,
12:31
and black girls that are murdered by role police, no
12:39
matter the color. I'm really still trying to process all
12:51
of this because the way Tyree Nichols beaten, tased, Heeppa sprayed,
13:09
they even laughed and took pictures of him and they
13:14
were shared eleven times. And these police officers were still
13:20
found not guilty on the state side. So let me say,
13:25
let me again, let me clarify that because they were
13:30
found guilty on the federal side. Did I want justice
13:38
on both sides of the coin. Absolutely? I wanted them
13:41
found guilty on the state and federal But unfortunately we
13:47
didn't get that. Unfortunately, Tyree Nichol's mother and father go
13:56
home overwhelmed, defeated. They were hurt all over again in
14:18
my heart. When the trial started and I got to
14:24
I didn't see physically, but from my intel it was
14:31
a predominantly white jury that was selected out of East Chattanooga.
14:38
I believe I knew it was not going to be
14:50
a fair trial. I was praying for maybe a mistrial,
14:55
something no mistrial. They all unanimously voted not guilty, and
15:06
again I watched the video one time. One time was
15:10
all I could tolerate. One time I watched the video
15:16
and to see Tyrene Nichols and to hear him. This
15:23
young man was mere feets away from the front door
15:28
of his home calling for his mom, and Mama couldn't
15:40
save him. Ooh to the mother of Tyree Nichols. When
15:52
one mother grieves, we all grieve when there's a miscarriage
15:59
of justice, and our community we stand with you. We
16:04
walk with you the same way we do with the
16:13
other black mothers and fathers that have lost their children
16:16
unjustly at the hands of police officers, who get a
16:21
slap on the wrist, who are found not guilty, even
16:27
though the footage or the proof is in front of
16:30
you and you still say not guilty. I'm not showing
16:37
the video tonight. If you want to see the video
16:40
of Tyrie Nichols, please google it on your own time.
16:43
I'm not reliving that moment that we shared two years ago.
16:46
I'm not doing it, but again, there was absolutely a
16:55
miscarriage of justice today. Why was justice not served for
16:59
Tyree Nickels. Why And we watched them stomp on him,
17:04
We watched them handcuff him, and they still beat him.
17:08
They waited, if I'm not mistaken, nine minutes before they
17:15
called for an ambulance, they waited. They laughed, they joked
17:31
while Tyree Nichols lay there dying. It was funny to them.
17:37
This was a hilarious that you beat, brutalize over a
17:46
traffic stop. Y'all had his license plate number, y'all could
17:54
have went and got him again. In this temperature of
17:59
the black people are afraid of the police right now.
18:05
We are deathly afraid. We're afraid to stop because we
18:10
don't know. Are we going home? Are we going to
18:13
a cemetery? We don't know PTSD is real. And to
18:26
see these police officers again, let me repeat, they were
18:32
found not guilty on the state side, so they are
18:38
still facing let me, let me, let me put this
18:40
out here right now, they are still facing federal time
18:45
because they were all found guilty of federal charges. If
18:52
I'm not mistaken, I believe mister Haley, if he's if
18:58
he's sentenced. He's looking at life in prison. The other
19:02
ones are looking at twenty years with no parole. Anyone
19:06
familiar with the law, you know, Federal, it's day for day.
19:11
It's day for day, no good time, no time off.
19:15
You get twenty years, my love, you do twenty years,
19:18
you get a hundred years in Federal. You're doing one
19:20
hundred years. They're not cutting and shaving. This is not counting.
19:24
This ain't stayed jail, my love.
19:26
Speaker 1: Federal, you're doing day for day.
19:34
Speaker 2: I see some more people are coming in. So y'all,
19:37
welcome back to Black Girl Interrupted. Y'all know what's your
19:40
girl ash bringing y'all another beautiful episode tonight. Tonight we
19:48
are talking about the Tyree Nichols verdict. I hear his name,
20:00
I hear I see his face. I hear a broken mother,
20:06
a devastated father, sisters, cousins, aunts, uncles, a family that
20:20
that has had the band aid ripped right back off
20:24
the swore. For those of you that are unfamiliar with
20:31
the case of Tyree Nichols, let me show you where
20:41
we are.
20:45
Speaker 8: Jerry, having found that this is the.
20:48
Speaker 2: Wrong video, y'all, here we go, Here we go.
20:52
Speaker 5: How did we get here. The path to this day
20:54
comes some two years and five months after Nichols was
20:58
initially stopped in Hickory Hill. Since then, it has been
21:01
a long and tedious process for those involved and for
21:04
Nichol's family, a painful and emotional time. Here's WRG. Shay
21:09
Arthur with a look at how we got here where they.
21:13
Speaker 6: Are for the last eight days, we've taken you inside
21:15
as Shelby County courtroom. Sometimes they were tense, he got.
21:19
Speaker 2: Out of the car and he grabbed a guy that
21:22
he had done something wrong.
21:24
Speaker 6: Other times emotional testimony. Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy
21:29
spoke to us about his team of attorneys on the case.
21:32
Speaker 9: They've worked very hard for a long time preparing this case.
21:34
Speaker 8: They were very thoroughly prepared, and they fought really hard
21:38
to get justice for Tyry Nichols.
21:40
Speaker 6: What's been discussed with so many closely watching goes back
21:43
to this intersection January seventh, twenty twenty three, at Ross
21:47
and Rains Roads, where police claimed they initially attempted to
21:51
stop Tyree Nichols and ultimately ended in this quiet neighborhood
21:55
about half a mile down the street, which we later
21:58
learned from watching MPD body and dash camera video was
22:01
also where Nichols was repeatedly punched and kicked not far
22:05
from his family home. Three days later, he died at
22:08
the hospital. Ten days later, five Memphis police officers are fired,
22:13
including the three who have been on trial to Darius Bean,
22:16
Demetrius Hailey, and Justin Smith. The two others have reached
22:20
other agreements on their charges. On January twenty sixth, the
22:24
group was indicted in state court. Then the next day,
22:27
the shocking video of nichols arrest is released to the public.
22:31
On January twenty eighth, the Scorpion Unit was deactivated. That
22:35
was a specialized team these officers were part of. It
22:38
was supposed to target criminal hotspots. Months later, on September twelfth,
22:42
twenty twenty three, the men were federally indicted, and more
22:45
than a year later, after weeks of a federal trial,
22:49
on October second, twenty twenty four, a federal jury reached
22:52
a mixed verdict. Then fast forward April twenty eighth, twenty
22:56
twenty five, the state trial for Smith, Bean and Haley begins.
23:01
Speaker 2: For your newsleader Shay Arthur, so let me correct myself.
23:09
There were five but I do include the white officer
23:14
who was not charged who said I hope they stomp
23:17
is ass. So that's still six, not seven. So my apologies, y'all.
23:23
Let me correct myself, but I feel like that other
23:27
officer should have been on trial too, because how dare you,
23:32
how dare you open your mouth and say, I hope
23:36
they stomp is ass. Let me say this because I
23:41
made a post yesterday on Facebook and I said, you
23:45
better be mindful of how you treat people on this side,
23:47
because my love, you have to pass God on the
23:49
way out. So to that officer who was not held
23:55
accountable for anything, because you incited this by saying, oh,
24:00
I hope they stomp is asked, you knew what they
24:02
were gonna do, and you did nothing to step in
24:05
to stop. So I prayed, get on your way out.
24:09
You have a real nice, long conversation with God. So
24:16
you take that for what it is. Let me just
24:25
breathe a little bit, because it just takes me back
24:35
to when all of this first happened. Tyry Nichols didn't
24:40
deserve that anybody. If you watch the video, maybe you
24:50
feel differently. I don't know. I can't tell you how
24:53
to feel. I can't tell you what to feel. I
24:55
could express to you how I feel and watching the
24:57
video and how it made me feel that day, and
25:00
how I still feel about it two years later, two
25:04
years and five months approximately. I'm appalled. I really wish
25:17
justice was completely served. One thing for show, two things
25:24
for certain, Karmen, don't miss a beat. So again, everything
25:30
you do on this side, you gotta fask God on
25:33
the way out. You have to account for that. You
25:36
have to account for what you do on this side.
25:41
So what those gentlemen did to Tyrene Nichols, you will
25:45
stand before God, my love, God says, vengeance will be mine.
25:51
These men will never be able to sleep peacefully another
25:55
day in their life. They'll have to move as far
25:59
away as they can, my love. You may after your
26:02
prison sentences, you may have to move out of the country.
26:07
You may not even make it out of the prison.
26:13
And that's not me speaking ill, that's me being realistic.
26:19
Because these five officers, you brutalize the man, and now
26:27
that you are found not guilty on the state side,
26:34
that's more fuel to the fire for an angry community. Memphis, Tennessee,
26:41
is already a city under siege, with this verdict coming down.
26:49
I pray that there's no wars. I pray that there's
26:56
no more bodies dropping. I pray that things are peaceful,
27:08
because to tear up the town it's not gonna bring
27:12
him back. Anybody that knows me, I would have said,
27:17
come on, let's burn it down. Let's listen, let's tear
27:19
it up. But what is that gonna do. It's not
27:25
gonna bring Tyree Nichols back. It's not gonna bring Brad
27:28
Breonna Taylor. It's not gonna bring back Sandra Bland, Philander Castile,
27:34
George Floyd. The list just goes on and on. Mike Brown,
27:42
alt In Sterling to Mirror Rice, it's not gonna bring
27:46
them back. To Tyree Nichols mother, I hope you sue
27:53
each and everlast one of those police officers. I do.
28:02
I hope you file wrong for death terminate. I hope
28:04
you file wrong for death suits against every last one
28:07
of those officers. I hope you do. I feel like
28:15
in cases and situations, I feel like the police officer's
28:19
pension should go to the family. That's just my opinion. Again,
28:25
everyone's not gonna always agree. We can agree to get
28:29
to disagree. But I feel like that money should go
28:34
to the parents or the families of the people that
28:38
you unjustly took away. For those just tuning in, y'all,
28:49
welcome back to Black Girl Interrupt the podcast. Y'all know
28:52
it's your favorite girl, Ash bring y'all another episode tonight.
28:57
We're discussing the Tyree Nichols verdict. How do you feel
29:01
about it? Because these five officers, they were found not
29:05
guilty on the state side. Again, let me clarify that
29:10
they were found not guilty on the state side. They
29:16
the federal sentencing is still pending. No date has been
29:20
released on when they will be sentenced federally because they
29:24
were all found guilty on the federal side violation of
29:28
his civil rights, excessive force, and I forgot what the
29:33
other few charges were. They were quite there were several charges,
29:37
but I know excessive force was one. I know, tamperom
29:39
with evidence, violation of mister nichols civil rights, and I
29:48
have to get back, get back with y'all on those
29:51
other charges. But again, today May seven, twenty five, five
29:57
Memphis police officers were found not not guilty in the
30:03
death of Tyree Nichols. But they still have to deal
30:08
with the federal side. I believe it's mister Hayley that
30:12
is looking at life federal and the other two officers
30:20
are facing twenty years federally, and the other two they
30:26
pled guilty, so they will all five officers will be
30:30
sentenced on the federal side. We just don't know when
30:34
y'all know. I'm gonna always keep y'all updated with regards
30:38
to that. But dropping the comments, let me know. How
30:42
do you feel about today's verdict? What is going through
30:45
your mind right now? How are you feeling. Do you
30:47
feel like it was a miscarriage of justice? Do you
30:49
feel like they weren't excessively brutalizing Tyrier Nichols. Dropping the comments,
30:57
let me know how you're feeling. What are your thoughts
30:59
to I can't tell y'all mine because baby, I might
31:02
get banned from Facebook if I do. Oh and I
31:05
don't want to be kicked off nowhere, because y'all know
31:07
I love doing this show. But again, for those that
31:11
are just tuning in tonight, I am discussing the Tyren
31:14
Nichols verdict. Most of y'all do know that I have
31:16
been following this case for the last two years and
31:19
five months since it happened. Hey, Ted my TeV says
31:29
she's disappointed. I'm very disappointed because this was absolutely a
31:34
miscarriage of justice. Those five police officers should have been
31:39
found guilty. The way y'all brutally beat Tyren. You beat
31:49
him like a dog in the street, You beat him
31:53
down over a traffic stop, and then y'all wonder why,
31:57
and y'all keep saying, oh, Wall, he should have complied,
32:00
he should have did comply or not complied does not
32:03
warrant a death sentence. A traffic stop does not warrant
32:07
a death sentence. So I want people to stop saying, well,
32:11
had he complied, he wouldn't have Filando Castill complied and
32:15
guess what, he was shot and killed in front of
32:20
his wife and his daughter. And they use the same rhetoric.
32:26
Every time I felt threatened, I was in fear of
32:28
my life. How do you think we feel when y'all
32:32
get behind us, How do you think when we have
32:34
to put when y'all stop us and pull us over.
32:37
We are definitely afraid because we don't know what's going
32:41
to happen. Because what may seem minor to you, they
32:46
will make major to them. They will do everything to
32:50
justify why they do what they do to us, And
32:55
I don't want to hear that. Oh but y'all do it.
32:57
Y'all do it to each other. I don't want to
32:59
hear that. Let me tell you the difference between when
33:02
we do it and when they do it. When we
33:04
do it, we're caught and were held to the fullest
33:07
extent of the law. When they do it, they get
33:12
a slap on the wrist and they get to go home,
33:14
and while they're investigating, they're still being paid. That's the difference.
33:20
Some of y'all don't understand that, because that's the first
33:23
thing y'all want to say is, Oh, you should have complied,
33:26
You should have did what they told you to do.
33:28
We do what they do, and guess what, they still
33:30
kill us. They still kill us. Brianna Taylor prime example.
33:40
Ladies and gentlemen, The wall got more justice than Breonna
33:46
Taylor the wall did. The wall meant more to the
33:50
police officers than Breonna Taylor's life. I'm on my soapbox
33:56
now because I'm in race because again, and I'm gonna
34:02
keep saying this, my baby is this was a complete
34:05
miscarriage of justice. How dare you stand up there and
34:13
say you are sworn to protect and serve, but what
34:18
kind of justice are you serving? Talk to me? What
34:23
kind of justice are you serving? In Ohio? And we're
34:32
gonna get into that story, mister Rodney Hinton. We're gonna
34:36
get into the story about his son, Ryan, who was
34:39
shot and killed by the Cincinnati Police Department. And they've
34:42
had six murders by the police, and I believe they
34:48
said less than a week or two weeks something like that.
34:54
Why why why was just just not served today? On
35:02
the state side for Tyree Nichols, y'all talk to me.
35:10
What are your thoughts right now? What are you feeling
35:14
right now in this moment, now that I've told you,
35:19
those five police officers that savagely beat Tyree Nichols were
35:24
found not guilty on the state side. Okay, for everybody
35:27
that's just now tuning in, because I see that people
35:30
are coming in on the state side. They were found
35:33
not guilty after they watched the video. How could you
35:40
say that they acted well within that excessive force? Right?
35:45
How dare you say that? How do you say that
35:48
you watch the video, they beat him, They stomped on
35:52
this baby, do you hear me? This baby was in
35:55
a coma for three days before he passed away on
36:00
January the tenth, twenty twenty three. Let that soak in
36:09
for a moment. They couldn't even tell and explain to
36:14
mister Nichols's mother what happened. The doctor from the hospital
36:22
called the mother the hospital, not anybody on the scene.
36:32
They were around joking like they were talking about football
36:35
or something. As mister Nichols sat handcuffed and was dying.
36:43
The EMTs that failed to render aid, you sat before
36:51
you decided to get out and come and assist. That's
36:56
what you did. Didn't miss the Nichols like he was trash.
37:06
And yes, I'm gonna humanize him because the world and
37:10
this and again this temperature of the of the climate
37:14
of this world, y'all demonized him. But I am here
37:18
to humanize ty Reed Nichols. So he smoked a little weed, okay?
37:27
And does he have a criminal history? That didn't matter
37:36
in this point. In this case, Orlando Castill was an
37:41
upstanding citizen and was still killed. Breonna Taylor was in
37:48
her home asleep when the police came and killed her.
37:58
Tamya Wrights, a twelve of your old child playing in
38:01
the park with a toy gun like kids used to do. Killed?
38:11
Shall I go on? Because the names don't stop. It
38:20
doesn't stop. Every day there's a new name added to
38:25
the list every day. Every day, there's a new name
38:34
added to the list. Every day. I'm trying to contain
38:43
my emotions because I have a black son. This very
38:52
weell could have been him. This could have been your
38:58
baby that you were one over here on this side
39:01
speaking about you will want me to humanize your baby.
39:06
They humanized these school shooters. What about the young man
39:11
that just decided to go on a shooting spree in
39:15
a grocery store. Oh, his parents were on drugs, and
39:21
this that okay. There are a lot of kids that
39:27
come from families that whose parents may have been on
39:30
drugs and they didn't turn out to be school shooters
39:36
or church shooters or just decided to wake up one
39:40
day and say, you know what, let's go kill some
39:42
people today. Tyree Nichols was in a two parent household,
39:51
a family that loved and cooked and enveloped this young
39:54
man with love, and this was his demise. Y'all looked
40:02
at it. Y'all watched the tape. You know what, y'all
40:06
watched the video the same way that I did, and
40:12
we saw mister Nichols handcuffed, unable to move, unable to talk,
40:25
unable to still keep calling for help while they sat
40:29
around and watched and laughed and took pictures and sent
40:33
them eleven times. Yes, yes, that's how much they thought
40:47
of mister ty Reid Nichols. They thought of him as
40:53
nothing to them. He was just another niggle. I said it,
41:04
I said it. They looked at Tyree Nigols as a
41:09
one less nigga on the street. One Iola says, speak
41:31
baby girl, TD you know I got you? She said, yes,
41:35
they did. Hays. Thus Juli says all factsor she said,
41:41
I can't believe they walked after that footage. I can't
41:46
believe that someone justified that they were well within the
41:52
rights of excessive force. Let that marinate, y'all. Let that
42:03
marinate that they acted within the excessive force realm is
42:16
what they said. That's what they said. M I wish
42:29
I could go to Memphis right now. I can't even
42:39
I honestly cannot imagine what that family is feeling right now.
42:51
Mm hm, oh, y'all gotta give me. I need five seconds.
43:03
I just I need five six seconds. Just let me.
43:10
As a mother, I can only imagine what that baby
43:14
is feeling right now. And she testified. The mother the
43:27
community rallied. M Oh, Father God, Jule says, this is
43:44
so heartbreaking. My heart goes out to his family. May
43:47
God give the comfort and peace that surpasses all understanding.
43:51
After the murder of the son, when I tell you,
44:04
I'm devastating, I just knew they were gonna be found.
44:12
I knew it. I just felt it. I said, oh, yeah,
44:14
they're gonna yeah, when they see that video and they
44:17
hear the testimony, and they see the autopsy photos and
44:21
read the autopsy reports and hear what the medical examiner
44:25
had to say. I knew they were going to prison.
44:33
I knew they were gonna be held accountable on the
44:35
state side because the federal has already held them accountable.
44:38
So they're going to prison either way. So although they
44:41
may feel like this is a victory for them, y'all
44:44
are still going to prison, my love, because you have
44:46
to deal with it on the federal side. Now you do.
44:51
But I was hoping, hoping, Father God, that you would
44:57
have held them accountable on both sides of the corner.
45:01
I wanted those scales balanced. I wanted those scales of
45:05
justice to be balanced, not an imbalance. But that's what
45:10
we got. To date, ladies and gentlemen, we got a
45:13
miscarriage of justice for Tyrene Nichols. We did my ante say,
45:27
as a parent of a black son, King, I'm enraged,
45:30
and any mother should feel the same. They absolutely should,
45:35
because how dare you, how dare.
45:39
Speaker 10: You justify savagely, brutally beating a man to death?
45:52
Speaker 2: And then you took pictures and you share these pictures
45:55
eleven times, ladies and gentlemen, listen to me when I
45:58
tell you, they took pictures of Tyree Nichols's body as
46:05
he laid dying in the streets, and they were shared
46:10
eleven times. Follow me, shared eleven times, almost as if
46:25
you were trying to show off what you did. That's
46:33
what you did, Like it was like you deserved an
46:39
award for what you did. I will say this again,
46:50
you have got to pass God on your way out
46:54
of here. So to those five police officers that savagely
46:59
and brutally beat mister Tyree Nichols, my love, you will
47:06
stand in front of God, and you will answer for that.
47:11
God will make you suffer, God will make you pay.
47:22
So I send my thoughts my prayers to the Nichols
47:29
family for those that don't or have not seen the verdict.
47:37
Speaker 8: Here we go, jury, having found that this is a
47:43

51:26
Speaker 2: H m hmm. Let's let that breathe for just a moment.
51:39
Let's let that part breathe for just a moment. Let's
51:45
let that breathe. These men were find not guilty of
51:56
the most serious charges. So let me say this. Let
52:18
me let this one breathe again for just a moment.
52:21
I I just this young man was eighty yards short
52:38
of his house when these men stopped him. You surrounded
52:49
him in unmarked vehicles. Let me love an intersection. Not
52:58
only did you hurt mister Nicholas, but you could have
53:04
hurt other people that were coming through the intersection. Again,
53:12
in this climate, we're definitely afraid of the police anytime
53:22
we are stopped. PTSD kicks in because we've seen this
53:29
over and over and over and over and over again.
53:35
When does it end? When does it end? Again? These
53:46
officers are still facing prison time, so I don't It
53:56
wasn't a complete misjustice, a miscarriage of justice, but it
54:00
was because the scales didn't balance out on this side
54:05
of justice for Tyree Nichols. I'm gonna read a little
54:09
bit of information to y'all, and then I want to
54:11
jump into my last story for tonight, and I'm gonna
54:15
do a part two in continuation of this next story,
54:19
because there have definitely been mixed reviews, mixed comments, mixed emotions,
54:23
mixed feelings with this next story. So for these men,
54:34
they had already been facing time behind bars after they
54:38
were convicted on federal charges. So let me give you
54:44
what it is, all right. So, Tadarius Bean, Demetrius Hayley,
54:52
and Justin Smith were part of the five officers involved
54:55
in the January twenty third incident where Nichols was fatally beaten.
55:00
Although they were found guilty of witness tampering, they were
55:04
acquitted of the more serious charges related to his death, specifically,
55:08
the violations of civil rights to Darius Bean, Demetrius Haley,
55:13
and Justin Smith were the focus of the state trial,
55:17
while Desmond Mills Junior and Emmett Martin the Third pleaded
55:20
guilty and they are awaiting sentencing. When it comes to
55:25
the federal charges, the five officers involved in the beating
55:29
were also charged again federally, and they have all pleaded
55:33
guilty or they were found guilty on those charges. They
55:43
are waiting on sentencing in the state trial that is pending,
55:48
but they are also waiting on the sentencing from the
55:51
federal cases where Demetrius Hailey faces a potential life sentence
55:56
for excessive force and other charges to Darius Bean and
56:02
Justin Smith faced up to twenty years for witness tamborine.
56:07
So can we say this is a complete miscarriage, know,
56:11
because they're still going to go to prison. They're still
56:15
going to prison when the sentencing comes down. Y'all know.
56:20
I'm gonna be the first one to jump up here
56:23
and let y'all know. But to the family of Tyree Nichols,
56:30
let me tell you something. I stand with you. I
56:34
walk with you, I grieve with you. I pray that
56:47
you find a little bit of solace in this. I
56:51
know it's not gonna bring Tyree back. You always have
56:57
that void in your heart and in your home. But
57:02
I pray that God carries his family. I pray that
57:06
God keeps his hands on this family. I pray that
57:11
God again brings peace and love and comfort to the
57:18
family of Tyrie Nichols. Tyrie Nichols, I still say your name.
57:27
I will continue to humanize you. Your death was not
57:32
in vain, hm. I need to let that one breathe
57:40
for just a moment. I still feel the same way
57:53
I felt when this story broke, I do I still
57:56
do the next story for tonight. It's a case of
58:11
mister Rodney Hinton Junior. For those that don't know, or that,
58:24
let me say not know, but that are unfamiliar. Rodney
58:29
Hinton Junior is a father in Cincinnati, Ohio, whose son Ryan,
58:42
eighteen year old Ryan Junior Ryan Hinton, I'm so sorry.
58:45
Ryan Hinton was killed by a Cincinnati police officer on
58:53
May the first, twenty five. Just one day later, the
59:01
family of Rodney Ryan Hinton was called down to the
59:07
Cincinnati Police departments of view the bodycam footage of his son,
59:15
who yes, was in a stolen vehicle of sleep and
59:23
he was shocked and killed. The way they described the
59:31
way mister Rodney left that police station, They said he
59:36
was distraught, he was erratic. They had to give family
59:44
members to drive him home. Mind you, this man had
59:55
just watched a video of his son being murdered. How
1:00:08
would you feel? So the day after his son was killed,
1:00:19
he watched the video. He was called. The family was
1:00:22
called to Cincinnati police to watch the bodygain footage. They
1:00:31
say they left maybe it was like ten something in
1:00:33
the morning, and he returned because he left his car
1:00:37
there at the police station. Again the state of mind
1:00:45
that they described mister Hinton to have, I can understand
1:00:57
mister Hinton leaves, he returns back to retrieve US vehicle,
1:01:07
and mister Hinton accelerated and unlived another Cincinnati police officer.
1:01:19
For the stories that have been floating around, let me
1:01:23
bring this rumor to rest. The officer that was killed
1:01:29
at the behind the wheel of the car of mister
1:01:31
Rodney Hinton, Jr. Was not the police officer that don't
1:01:36
allowed his sun the day before. I've been seeing that
1:01:40
floating around social media where they say, oh, he killed
1:01:43
the police Oh he killed the police officer that killed
1:01:45
his son. No, he did not. The officer that he
1:01:49
killed was directing traffic for children. I believe in that moment,
1:01:58
mister Hinton saw red and just accelerated. I do not
1:02:06
believe mister Hinton set out to go and kill a
1:02:10
police officer. I do not believe he woke up that
1:02:12
day and let that police station and said I'm going
1:02:15
to go kill me a cop. I don't believe that.
1:02:19
I believe what happened is when he was at that
1:02:22
intersection and he saw that police officer, it took him
1:02:25
back to him just leaving and witnessing and watching the
1:02:30
video of them on a life his son, and I
1:02:35
believe that sent him into a tissy a frenzy. So
1:02:41
I'm not gonna let you set up pen and say, oh,
1:02:43
he did it. I believe he blacked out for a moment.
1:02:48
I believe that was a trigger for him. My sister says,
1:02:56
I have been following a trial of a man that
1:02:58
murdered a cop, and they murdered his son. He walked
1:03:00
past them with his head hell high. He gives zero f's.
1:03:03
This man believes in I for an eye my TV say.
1:03:09
The pains in my stomach due to this verdict is
1:03:11
one hundred times worse than any labor pain I've ever experienced.
1:03:14
Amen to that amy. But mister Rodney Hinton, I stand
1:03:21
with you. I understand because again, in this climate, we're tired.
1:03:42
We're tired of these police officers unliving black men and
1:03:47
black women, black boys and black girls unjustly, and you
1:03:54
use the same emo every time I felt threatened, I
1:03:57
was in fear of my life in the murder of
1:04:02
Ryan Hinton, mister Rodney Hinton's son. I watched the video
1:04:10
and I watched it from every angle possible. That baby,
1:04:19
because he was only eighteen years old, did not have
1:04:24
a gun in his hand. This young man was shot
1:04:28
in the back. Hello, he was shot in the back.
1:04:37
I'm not playing the video. I do advise that you
1:04:40
go to watch the video at your own risk. You
1:04:43
watch it from every angle. But that baby did not
1:04:46
have a gun in his hand at the time that
1:04:48
he was shot. Despite what people on social in spite
1:04:52
of these Facebook lawyers who said he did, he didn't,
1:04:57
and I watched the video twelve times. Let me calm down.
1:05:15
It is getting to a point in this world and
1:05:18
in this climate, we're fighting back. We're tired of being
1:05:28
shot down in a street like animals. We're tired, We're
1:05:32
fed up, We're frustrated. We are tired of these miscarriages
1:05:38
of justice. We are tired of these police officers getting
1:05:42
away with murder. We're tired of these police officers saying, oh,
1:05:47
I was in fear of my life, I felt threatened.
1:05:57
We hear that all the time. We hear that. It's
1:06:10
the same rhetoric every story that comes out like this.
1:06:16
He should have stopped, he should have complied, he should
1:06:18
have did this, He should have did that. Well again,
1:06:25
what about the young man that went and shot out
1:06:27
the school in Santa Feth. It took y'all ninety minutes
1:06:34
and one man came in and killed him, when twenty
1:06:40
one people were brutally murdered. What about in Las Vegas.
1:06:53
I've seen stories where white men and white women have
1:06:59
come in waving guns at police officers and they've been tasted,
1:07:03
not shot, not putting a choke, old taste, and they
1:07:11
still make it home to their families. But you expect
1:07:17
us to just keep being slapped in the face and
1:07:21
keep being spit on. We're tired. We are absolutely enraged,
1:07:30
and we're fighting back. Mister Rodney Hinton says, I for an.
1:07:33
Speaker 1: Eye, the way that they had all those police officers
1:07:38
lined up in that courtroom at his bond hearing for intimidation,
1:07:42
mister Rodney hinting.
1:07:44
Speaker 2: My heart and my hat goes off to you, sir,
1:07:47
because you walked with your head held high, your chest
1:07:56
was out, and your head was upsurd. For those that
1:08:07
are tuning in that are unfamiliar with the Rodney Hinton
1:08:10
Junior case, here we go. Here's a little snippet, and
1:08:16
then we're going to continue the conversation.
1:08:21
Speaker 5: Fox nineteen.
1:08:22
Speaker 9: Now, we continue to bring you the latest after a
1:08:25
Hamlet County sheriff's deputy was killed Friday. The man accused
1:08:28
of intentionally hitting Deputy Larry Henderson. His name is Rodney Hinton,
1:08:33
made his first court appearance over the weekend.
1:08:35
Speaker 7: Now. Hinton is the father of eighteen year old Ryan Hinton,
1:08:38
who was shot and killed by police during a stolen
1:08:41
vehicle investigation on Thursday.
1:08:43
Speaker 9: Today, Ryan's family how a press conference alongside their lawyers
1:08:47
talking about his death.
1:08:49
Speaker 7: Brenda o'doniez breaks down the latest on the investigation.
1:08:54
Speaker 12: Yeah, three separate investigations into this incident are ongoing. Officers
1:08:58
attorney's looking to see what exactly happened and if the
1:09:02
officer's actions were justified. No timeline yet as to when
1:09:07
we'll find those answers. But today we did get to
1:09:10
speak to the family of Ryan Hinton, that's the suspect
1:09:13
who was fatally shot. They're giving us more insight as
1:09:16
to how it is that he got to be here
1:09:18
that day.
1:09:19
Speaker 13: He's supposed to be a home that night. He had
1:09:22
no business being on a stone car man. He got
1:09:24
a bed come home to he slept in a car.
1:09:26
He couldn't get in the house and call me like
1:09:30
six nine times and I was sleep. I'm so I'm
1:09:34
so sorry. This was never supposed to happened.
1:09:37
Speaker 12: To a cousin expressing remorse for missing the phone calls
1:09:41
of eighteen year old Ryan Hinton, a former Don High
1:09:44
School student, who that night slept in a stolen car
1:09:47
with three others. Police track the car to a parking
1:09:50
lot in East Price Hill. That's when all four suspects ran.
1:10:02
In six seconds, Ryan's life ended. He was fatally shot
1:10:06
in the chest and arm by an officer.
1:10:08
Speaker 2: What we saw was disturbing. The family was upset, as
1:10:13
you can imagine.
1:10:14
Speaker 12: The Cochrane firm has launched its own investigation into the
1:10:17
shooting that was captured on blurry body camp.
1:10:20
Speaker 14: The lens in that body camera cost eight cents, so
1:10:24
of course, when you have an officer running as well
1:10:26
as someone else, it's probably gonna be working.
1:10:29
Speaker 15: What that leaves us with is a we do not
1:10:33
have a still photo that is crystal clear that to
1:10:37
show anybody with a gun in the hand. However, that
1:10:40
being said, we do know that he exited the vehicle
1:10:44
with a gun in his hand. The officer saw that
1:10:47
we do know that at one point he stumbled, he
1:10:50
had that same gun still in his hand. It hits
1:10:53
the ground, he gets up, still has that same gun
1:10:57
in his hand, and ran through these.
1:10:59
Speaker 12: Two two dumpsters before confronting an officer on the other side.
1:11:03
Police say when Hinton reappeared, he had a gun in
1:11:06
a blated position as they're running towards them.
1:11:09
Speaker 14: Because of the angle, you actually have them running to
1:11:12
where they're facing at you, but they're in a blated
1:11:14
position to where they're not completely exposed.
1:11:17
Speaker 5: They're only partially exposed.
1:11:18
Speaker 12: To Police Chief Teresa Thijian, FOP President Ken Cobra, see,
1:11:22
officers don't have to wait for someone to shoot at
1:11:24
them for them to perceive a threat.
1:11:26
Speaker 14: In this case, you have someone that is running with
1:11:28
a firearm, running towards you and then points it at you,
1:11:32
you are absolutely justified in using whatever force is necessary,
1:11:36
up to and including kindly force in this situation.
1:11:39
Speaker 11: We are answering or looking for the answer through our
1:11:42
investigation of whether or not it was proper, whether or
1:11:47
not the policies were followed appropriately, and whether or not
1:11:51
by law and by facts that that tragic death was
1:11:57
considered in the eyes of the law is just fible.
1:12:00
I can promise you, under no circumstance, all the family
1:12:03
members who will here will ever believe that it was
1:12:05
just a fible.
1:12:07
Speaker 12: This is still under investigation. No timeline yet as to
1:12:10
when we're gonna be getting those answers. We do know
1:12:13
attorneys are still working to get bodycam from all of
1:12:16
the officers that were there that day. Of course, once
1:12:19
we learn anything new, we're gonna be bringing you the
1:12:21
latest for now. In East Price held with photojournalist and
1:12:23
Marris Evans Bernard Donias Fox.
1:12:29
Speaker 2: All right, so let me correct that he was shot
1:12:31
in the chest, in the in the hand. But again
1:12:36
I do advise that you go and you watch the
1:12:38
video for yourself from the various angles that I viewed
1:12:44
this video, because it was sent to me that baby
1:12:55
was not pullsing, was not only a gun at the police,
1:13:00
he was not Believe me, if he was, y'all know,
1:13:05
I would be I would absolutely say he's accountable, you know,
1:13:10
I would definitely say that. But from the various angles
1:13:14
that I've witnessed on this video, and baby didn't have
1:13:17
a gun in his hand, I don't want to run
1:13:30
too deep in this story tonight. Because I definitely want
1:13:33
to have a part two of this, because I really
1:13:35
want to get into the meat and potatoes of this story.
1:13:41
I want to keep everyone updated as everything unfolds. But
1:13:45
as of right now, mister Rodney Hinton Junior has no bond.
1:13:49
I will say this. I don't believe anything will happen
1:13:55
to him. I believe they will heavily protect him, and
1:14:01
that means on the inside and the outside. No way
1:14:09
am I glorifying. Let me be precise in that, No
1:14:16
way am I glorifying this. But as a parent, I
1:14:22
understand as a mother, I empathize with mister Hinton Junior,
1:14:29
because after you leave from watching a video of your
1:14:35
child being shot, what would your state of mind be leaving?
1:14:47
I believe it has been documented that mister Hinton does
1:14:51
suffer from some type of mental illness. I believe that.
1:15:00
I believe mister Hinton reacted in a way that any
1:15:09
parent would, maybe not all, but some. I believe mister
1:15:15
Hinton is now believing I, for or not, you take mine,
1:15:19
I take one of you, you take one of mine,
1:15:21
I take one of yours. Again, I can definitely understand
1:15:28
as a parent, the rage that this man feels and
1:15:34
I think seeing that police officer, it triggered him and
1:15:40
it sent him into a rage, and he just accelerated.
1:15:46
I believe that about mister Rodney Hinton. I want to
1:15:54
stop right here because I want to I want to
1:15:56
pick this back up and more information continues to unfold.
1:16:09
M Today has definitely been a day. Today has definitely
1:16:19
been one for the books. Today was a day of
1:16:26
miscarriage injustice. Today was a day the scales didn't balance.
1:16:37
But mister Ridding Hinton Junior and to the family, I
1:16:43
stand with you, I walk with you, I grieve with you,
1:16:52
I love you, I do all of that with you.
1:17:00
I pray that justice has served for Ryan Hinton Junior.
1:17:07
I pray that there's no cover ups. I pray that
1:17:10
there's no editing or altering of videos as we've seen
1:17:16
it many times over. So I want to stop right
1:17:22
here for tonight because again I want to dig deeper
1:17:30
into this case as all the information unfolds. M h.
1:17:46
Speaker 6: I just.
1:17:50
Speaker 2: I'm really trying to process all of this right now.
1:17:56
I'm trying to process this. So as I go into
1:18:00
my final thoughts and bring this show to a close,
1:18:05
I want to say to everybody that's watching. Please keep
1:18:21
these families and your thoughts and your prayers. There are
1:18:28
no winners in either of these situations. Tonight we have
1:18:35
three families grieving the loss of a loved one. Where
1:18:44
do we go from here? What are the next steps?
1:18:51
How do we recover from this? Think about that. Think
1:18:59
about that as your black son, your black daughter, your
1:19:03
black husband, your black wife walks out the door and
1:19:06
gets in that car. It's sad that we have to
1:19:12
have these conversations to tell our children how to conduct
1:19:17
themselves if you ever encounter the police. But it just
1:19:23
seems to me that if you comply, you die. You
1:19:27
don't comply, you die, That's just it. There's no in between.
1:19:37
So I leave y'all with that. Think about that tonight
1:19:43
as you lay down, pray over these families. Keep these
1:19:49
families close to you because they need it. Again, there
1:19:55
were no winners, no justice for Tyree Nichols. But I
1:20:04
pray we get justice for Ryan Hinton and Rodney Hinton Junior.
1:20:12
I pray that God keeps mister Hinton Junior in a
1:20:16
safe space. And I don't mean just in jail, I
1:20:22
mean a mental because the most dangerous place you could
1:20:27
be is in your thoughts.
1:20:32
Speaker 12: Hmm.
1:20:33
Speaker 2: And I leave y'all with that. Y'all brought your girl
1:20:39
back out, So y'all been waiting on me, and I'm back.
