Former President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama ramped up their calls for police reform following the release of the video showing the “vicious” beating of Tyre Nichols.
“The vicious, unjustified beating of Tyre Nichols and his ultimate death at the hands of five Memphis police officers is just the latest, painful reminder of how far America still has to go in fixing how we police our streets,” they tweeted Saturday.
They said responsibility falls on all people to “mobilize” to create change and included a link to a webpage for the Obama Foundation for people to learn about how communities can “reimagine public safety” to prevent crime and injustice.
They also posted a photo of Nichols along with the tweet.
The Obamas’ reaction came after Memphis police released the body camera and surveillance video of five officers beating Nichols, a 29-year-old Black motorist who was pulled over for alleged reckless driving.
The police department originally said the officers had a “confrontation” with Nichols after they stopped him and he ran away from them, but the footage shows officers pulled Nichols out of the car after stopping him and wrestled him to the ground.
**SNIP**
Former President Obama repeatedly called for police reform both during his time in the White House and since the end of his term.

Roll out the national gestapo recruited from the ranks of BLM/Antifa.
Oh look the Obamas crawled out of their hole again
The Democrat Party loves dancing on coffins.
America needs “black male” reform more than police reform
“The police acted stupidly” 2.0
Fundamental change baby.
What a sh*t stirrer
I am waiting for Zer0 to ask black people to control their tempers/emotions.
.gov is always corrupt. Black, white, it doesn’t matter. Too bad the left and right couldn’t unite on reforming the actions of fbi/cia/nsa/local police etc. Rip usa.
They got rid of the “racist white cops” and the Obozos are still complaining....
Bwahahahahahaha.
You can bet he is organizing the riots from his shadow WH.
Once we all see the 14,000 hours of security video from the Capitol on J6, which will show Capitol Police breaking multiple laws, will Soetoro and Big Mike have the same views?
Five cops descending on a skinny young pseudo-perp, and nobody wanted to do what was necessary, physically, to cuff and immobilize him.
Why was this?
The pseudo-perp was showing no signs of being violent or dangerous. He also wasn’t clearly resisting arrest. What he WAS doing was squirming. He was (probably annoyingly) refusing to stop moving.
It seems as if none of the officers wanted to get tagged with being unduly violent in the process of cuffing him.
Then he probably started pulling his arms and legs clean out of their collectively strong grasp and all hell broke loose.
If Obama had sons, would they look like those (bleep) who raped and murdered that white girl at LSU?
Sounds like they aren’t getting enough attention again
The white or black ones?
The cops failed to maintain discipline, and became a mob.
If obama had a son he would look like tadarius
