After Tyre Nichols, Miranda Rights for Police? — The Week in Editorial Cartoons, Part 2 [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-02-06 Does the above need to be said? Shouldn't it be self-evident what a police force stands for? The Summary Part 2 of this diary is devoted entirely to police brutality and over 25 editorial cartoons resulting from the death of Tyre Nichols last month in Memphis, Tennessee. In the comments section, among other issues in the news, I will post another 20 or so cartoons about police brutality, the clown show that is the GOP-dominated US House of Representatives, and Donald Trump’s efforts to try and stay politically relevant. If you missed it last night, Part 1 of this diary had 25 editorial cartoons and covered the racist, anti-intellectual rants of the Republican Governor of Floriduh, Ron DeSantis. I posted another 25+ cartoons in the comments section about DeSantis, the ongoing trials and tribulations of one George Santos, obscene levels of profits by the fossil fuel industry, and other assorted topics in the news. Many thanks for supporting these diaries. Link to Part 1 of This Diary — "Gov. DeSantis, Were You Born a Bigot?" — The Week in Editorial Cartoons, Part 1 The Harsh Reality for Black Folks The poignant cartoon at the very top by the Boston Globe’s Chris Weyant says it all. The problem is far worse than one or two bad apples in any police department. The institutionalized racism present in so many police forces around the country can only be rectified once the problem is acknowledged and acted upon. Why are so many politicians afraid to introduce and implement much-needed reforms? Is it because they are complicit and part of the problem? About Time Some of the editorial cartoons in this diary are painful to look at. But, they reflect the day-to-day realities so many young African-American males have to confront. For over a week, since body camera and surveillance videos were released by the Memphis Police Department, angry protests have erupted around the country demanding accountability and police reform. Protests have erupted around the country since the killing of Tyre Nichols. Attribution: Wikipedia. Click on this link to see the list of cities where these protests are taking place. Absent any meaningful changes, we are going to see a continuation of police policies and attitudes that resulted in the senseless killing of Tyre Nichols last month in Memphis, Tennessee. An excellent opinion piece in the Memphis Commercial Appeal by columnist Lynn Norment details the long-time pain and suffering of the African-American community. Will it ever end?
