Missouri Democrat Cori Bush issued statement on the heinous killing of Tyre Nichols at the hands of five black Memphis police officers and arrived at the conclusion that this too, is an example of white supremacy.
Graphic footage from the bodycams of the officers released on Friday shows they repeatedly beat 29-year-old Tyre Nichols with the victim succumbing to his injuries three days later.
The five police officers have been charged with his murder.
“Charging the officers who brutalized Tyre is not enough,” Bush said.
“Merely diversifying police forces will never address the violent, racist architecture that underpins our entire criminal legal system,” she explained. “The mere presence of Black officers does not stop policing from being a tool of white supremacy.”
Let’s be clear here – the only ‘tool’ involved in Cori Bush’s statement on the Tyre Nichos tragedy is the author.
Let us also be clear that voters in Missouri really need to raise their standards when it comes to electing people to Congress. Bush is not qualified to work at her local fast-food restaurant let alone as a lawmaker representing the people in her district.
The ‘defund police’ advocate reiterated her claim that Nichols’ death was an example of ‘white supremacy.’
“I will not stop advocating for a country where our government helps feed, house, educate and support our children, families, and community members, instead of slaughtering them at the altar of white supremacy,” she blathered.
Her comments do a grave disservice to the family of Tyre Nichols who would no doubt want to get to the bottom of why this happened.
Black-on-black crime isn’t ‘white supremacy’ and pretending people are so dumb that they’d fall for such an assertion really shows you how much Cori Bush actually negatively impacts and despises the black community.
She wants attention drawn to her incendiary rhetoric and off of those in this country trying to combat rare but actual instances of racism.
It should be noted that while she wears her ignorance like a badge of courage, Cori Bush is also one of the biggest hypocrites on the planet when it comes to policing and security.
The Political Insider reported previously that the anti-police enthusiast had, according to documents compiled in a ‘Statement of Disbursements in the House,’ spent thousands of dollars in taxpayer money to pay for her own private security.
She would later admit to spending much more and ranting in an interview with CBS News that critics of her hypocrisy need to “suck it up” and suggesting any judgment of her actions means people ‘want her to die.’
“They would rather I die?” she said. “You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see?”
Representative Cori Bush also accused white supremacists of shooting at her during the protests in Ferguson, Missouri over the death of Michael Brown in 2014.
The shooting itself and the subsequent protests themselves also an example of fake ‘white supremacy.’
“When we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a hill near where Michael Brown Jr. was murdered and shoot at us,” she tweeted. “They never faced consequences.”
Perhaps the reason they never faced consequences is because, according to Ferguson police chief Frank McCall Jr., it never happened.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that McCall “didn’t know that there was any record of such an incident” and “wasn’t aware of any incidents that the tweet might be referencing.”
Politifact never rated her claim false, despite the police chief’s comments and despite receiving “no evidence from Bush”, and instead lent it credence because other anti-police protesters said it happened.
‘Well, the anti-cop protesters said it happened despite no evidence, so we have to pretend it might be real,’ is a truly odd ‘fact-checking’ tactic.
In fact, the only shooting on record in Ferguson during the protests appears to have been a BLM protester who shot at police officers.
That was probably ‘white supremacy’ too in the vapid mind of congresswoman Cori Bush.

What an idiot
This woman is the most Racist person I ever heard of there's something definitely wrong with her.
Bush what have you done for your state? It best you shut up your hate for other people! Missouri made a big mistake voting for you! But all it took was you LIES TO BLACKS FOR THEIR VOTE! It a shame these people still believe a DEMOCRAT POLITICIAN! Wish these people would do research on the democrats party! Will find out they are just SLAVE ON THE PLANTATION! NEVER LEFT! That how democrats treated blacks people! Still living in the same old run down neighborhood? Still seeing black killing blacks! But you think voting for a Democrat will solve the problem? Wow! You really have to be STUPID! For the last 50 years democrats has done NOTHING GOOD FOR AMERICAN PEOPLE! Including you blacks people! Trump was the first PRESIDENT TO REACH OUT TO BLACK PEOPLE! Something not one democrat has every done! NOT EVEN OBAMA OR BIDEN! Here something you can believe, REPUBLICANS PARTY WAS FOUND BY 150 BLACKS MEN IN TEXAS! And the democrats kept trying to STOP THEM!
Thank God! Keep Racism Alive, even if we have to lie about it! It can never be their fault for anything, it is always racism and so-called white supremacy's fault! Heaven forbid the Blacks take responsibility for anything they do wrong. The whites made these Black Cops out of control to beat this person to death. Sure, that makes sense. The majority of prisoners are Black because a white person made them rob and kill people. Dang, we need less police on the ground because you are putting Black people in prison because they kill people that a white person made them do it. They all should be set free! Praise God! Now let's make sure that Congress passes anything to reform the police. HEY fewer police so Blacks can rape, rob and kill freely, OH yes no bail so the killers are let free to kill more people that the white people made the Blacks do and top it off Blacks need community leaders so they can talk to them about how it is all the white people's fault. Fewer police and no bail is working awesome, Blacks can commit more crimes on society. Blacks can burn down the cities they live in and no one goes to jail. The only response Blacks have is to riot, burn and hopefully kill some innocents while doing it. Blacks are uncivilized because of whites. It's Whites fault for giving them free money, housing, jobs before any other race, free education for all of them, and gee that is not enough. Blacks want to keep Racism alive for another 300 years so the Whites that make them do everything bad keeps paying and feeling guilty that whites had nothing to do with. Oh dear I am Black, I can not learn, can not get off my own butt, can not get a job, have no opportunity because of White Supremacy. All the white's need to give every Black a few million dollars, free mansion, any car they all want and never have to work. Please, Congress, take care of all the Blacks more because it is the White's fault.
ok so the same would be true if they were Asain cops
What an ignorant human being!
Why am I NOT surprised?
YES...everything is whiteys fault...talk about brainless!
