Opinion: Larry Elder: Left-wing pundits, politicians wrongly racialize Tyre Nichols killing
It became national, indeed, international news that five Memphis police officers grabbed, punched, beat, pepper-sprayed and stun-gunned a Black man, named Tyre Nichols, who later died at the hospital. A picture of him in his hospital bed showing his swollen, battered and bloodied face went viral on social media.
The body cam video, as well as video from an outdoor camera, was released. No video exists of what first caused the police to begin Nichol’s traffic stop. But not to worry, it did not take long for Democrats and the Democratic media to still racialize the issue. Few things are more creative than a Democrat playing the race card.
Playing from the same sheet music, the Rev. Al Sharpton said, “ is an outrage and race is still involved.” CNN’s Van Jones said that even though the cops were Black, “they might still have been driven by racism.”
