(Gateway Pundit) Far-left Congresswoman Cori Bush has issued a statement blaming “white supremacy” for the police killing of Tyre Nichols, despite everyone involved being black.
Rep. Bush is also calling for civilians to handle traffic enforcement.
Nichols, 29, died in the hospital three days after being brutally assaulted by five Memphis police officers during a traffic stop on January 10.
All five former officers — Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Desmond Mills Jr., Emmitt Martin III, and Justin Smith — have already been arrested and charged with second-degree murder, among other charges.
In her statement, Rep. Bush began by saying that “Tyre Nichols should be alive today. He should be playing with his four-year-old son. He should be skateboarding and photographing sunsets. But instead, Tyre was brutally beaten to death by Memphis Police officers. And now, instead of seeing the photographs he took, the world watches Tyre crying out for his mother in his final moments of consciousness.
The extremely far-left politician said that charging the police is “not enough” and that the nation needs to dismantle “its racist policing system rooted in enslavement.”
“Charging the officers who brutalized Tyre is not enough,” Bush continued. “Our country will continue to sanction the taking of Black lives with impunity until it embraces an affirmative vision of public safety and dismantles its racist policing system rooted in enslavement and government control. And let’s be clear: merely diversifying police forces will never address the violent, racist architecture that underpins our entire criminal legal system. The mere presence of Black officers does not stop policing from being a tool of white supremacy.”
Rep. Bush continued on to call for “unarmed emergency first responder agencies, 911 diversion programs, civilian traffic enforcement” and other bizarre anti-police “solutions.”
