\u201cDoesn\u2019t matter what color those police officers are. The murder of Tyre Nichols is anti-Black and the result of white supremacy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

Maxwell Alejandro Frost of Florida Friday night upon the release of Memphis police video of the brutal murder of Black motorist Tyre Nichols at the hands and feet of five Black Memphis police officers earlier this month in a traffic stop turned deadly beatdown. <\/p>\n

Those police beat Tyre Nichols to death. The change required to build an equitable system will require more than training and body cameras. They bludgeoned him to death while the cameras were on. He should be alive.\u201d<\/p>\n Just saw the video of the lynching. <\/p>\n Those police beat Tyre Nichols to death.

No one should die for being pulled over in this country. Tyre deserved so much more, a full, long life and a peaceful end. Instead, he was beaten to death, made victim of an inherently broken system.\u201d<\/p>\n I\u2019m heartbroken, enraged, and disappointed.

Former Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-NY), now a CNN commentator, tweeted Friday night, \u201cIf you think the Memphis police officers had to be white in order to exhibit anti-Blackness, you need to take that AP African American Studies course Ron DeSantis just banned.\u201d<\/p>\n If you think the Memphis police officers had to be white in order to exhibit anti-Blackness, you need to take that AP African American Studies course Ron DeSantis just banned.<\/p>\n \u2014 Mondaire Jones (@MondaireJones) January 28, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n\n Fellow CNNer Van Jones also blamed racism<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n UPDATE<\/strong>: Frost posted a thread Saturday night expounding on and explaining his deleted tweet, \u201cI deleted an initial tweet I wrote on this last night because I wanted to add more context to it and write a full thread in the spirit of education for those who were curious in actually learning.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDoesn\u2019t matter what color those police officers are. The murder of Tyre Nichols is anti-Black and the result of a system built on white supremacy\u2026Diversity in police ranks has not solved the crisis of policing where Black people are the prime targets of brutality and incarceration\u2026They\u2019re more likely to be arrested and jailed for the same crimes committed by white people. They\u2019re more likely to be convicted for a crime. They have longer jail sentences. And they\u2019re far less likely to get parole \u2013 all for the same crimes committed as white people\u2026To deny the anti-Blackness and white supremacy undergirding our justice system is to blind yourself from reality. We need a completely holistic, top-to-bottom approach to ensure justice in our country and accountability for actors in these systems\u2026Congress must make it their mission to change the way public safety operates in America. People\u2019s lives are on the line and I will do everything in my power to move this forward\u2026t\u2019s no shock that Fox News went after me for calling this out.
