This morning, as I was browsing our PACE TULSA NETWORK ACCIDENT VICTIMS HOPE FUND (GoFund ME fundraiser account), images of Tyre Nichols, the young man from Memphis TN, brutally murdered by a police clandestine tactical command outfit “during a traffic stop” tiled my page.

The city of Memphis has fired five police officers involved in the violent and eventually fatal traffic stop of Tyre Nichols.  Their names are as follows: Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr and Justin Smith.  Memphis officials condemned the officers, who were fired on Friday evening.

My very first thoughts were, ” Here’s a post of another dead black man on my computer screen. What happened?”

According to his family’s GOFund ME account

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED TO TYRE

My name is RowVaughn Wells.

I am the mother of Tyre Nichols.

My son, Tyre Nichols, was pulled over for suspected “reckless driving” on January 7, 2023.

There is no evidence to substantiate this claim.

Further, police claim that my son left the scene on foot.

It turns out that he was just trying to get to my house for safety — which was only a few blocks away from where the incident happened.

My baby was just trying to make it home to be safe in my arms.

Tyre was unarmed, nonthreatening, and respectful to police during the entire encounter!


Who was Tyre Nichols?

Born on June 5, 1993, Tyre Nichols was a civilian, FedEx employee, and photographer from Memphis, Tennessee.

He was the youngest of four children and he also has a four-year-old son of his own.

At a press conference, Tyre’s mother RowVaughn Wells remembered: “I know everybody says that they had a good son, and everybody’s son is good, but my son, he actually was a good boy.

“My son was a beautiful soul and he touched everyone. Nobody’s perfect but he was damn near.

Tyre Nichols video shows brutal 3-minute beating by police

BRUTALLY BEATEN BEYOND RECOGNITION

During my son’s interaction with the police, they beat him beyond recognition until he became unconscious.

The footage shows officers savagely beating the FedEx worker in an assault the family’s legal team likened to the infamous police beating of Rodney King. 

He was then taken to a hospital and immediately placed on life support.

He died 3 days later, but I believe that my son died on January 7th, the moment those 5 Black Memphis Police Officers pulled Tyre over and beat him to death for no good reason.

It’s simple: read the chain later; take pictures; record videos; post endearing stories; or use PTN”S post-office address to mail-in your creations. Or find another person in our community to address.  Build on your own thoughts, add comments or brainstorm chain letter ideas.

Don't hit the gas pedal and brake at the same time! 

Feel what you’re feeling, but remember your goal is to get more shares and viewership.  So, be thoughtful, as well as. respectful.

CHAIN LETTER (EXAMPLE 1):

Are the Words: “FAIR TARGET” ACCURATE LABELS FOR BLACK-PEOPLE ANYMORE?

The amount of African-American blood shed on Tulsa, Oklahoma soil is primarily due to increased disease.

However, much of the civil unrest is due largely to excessive grants of power in the use of lethal deadly force by law enforcement agencies in the United States and in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

If that’s not enough, today, it seems African-American adults are increasingly reporting verbal mistreatment, financial mistreatment, and physical mistreatment because of actions by a family members, neighbors and co-workers.

ACCORDING TO THE JOURNAL RECORD STAFF, March 4, 2022

Among all large U.S. counties, Oklahoma County had the 10th-highest gun-related death rate. With a slightly smaller population, Tulsa County, ranked 15th among mid-sized counties nationwide.

More than gang violence or other crimes, the largest percentage of Oklahoma gun deaths are rooted in mental illness, studies show, linked to suicide and substance abuse.

But, what factors are contributing to the rise in “African-American Mistreatment”?

We know that mistreatment of African-American Black-People is a direct effect of:  

“HATRED OF BLACK PEOPLE.”

A recent Supreme Court decision will have major implications for regulatory authority over tribal land in Oklahoma. \Image: 

On, July 9 2020, the case before the United States Supreme Court, McGirt v. Oklahoma, concerned Jimcy McGirt, an enrolled member of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma who was convicted of sex crimes against a child on Creek land.

In post-conviction proceedings, Jimcy McGirt argued that the state lacked jurisdiction in the case and that he must be retried in federal court. The high court agreed.

The Supreme Court ruled that about half of the land in Oklahoma is within a Native American reservation, a decision that will have major consequences for both past and future criminal and civil cases.

The decision was 5-4, with Justices Gorsuch, Sonia Sotomayor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer in the majority, while Justices John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas dissented.

The Supreme Court ruling comes at a time in history when African-American, “Black People,” in Tulsa, OK and across the entire world, are seeking an end to racism, injustice and excessive grants of power to law enforcement agencies.

Since half of Oklahoma is an Indian Reservation, “the entitlement-gap” widens. 

The entitlement theory which is primarily concerned with respecting people’s rights, especially, their rights to property and their rights to self-ownership. 

Entitlement theory of justice involves three ideas; justice in acquisition, justice in transfer, and rectification of injustice. 

Affirmative action policies work when there is a rectification criteria.  

SPEAKING OF RECTIFICATION

Rectification is an equitable remedy by which the court may amend the terms of a legal document.  Rectification is necessary because of a mistake made during an initial assessment of those factors impacting equity which are flawed and fail to accurately reflect the intention (s) of the parties to it.

RELATIONSHIP PROCESSES AS KEY DETERMINANT(S) OF: “SOCIAL INTEGRATION” AND “SOCIAL LEISURE.”

Four psycho-social foci and their impact on relationships directly linked to “social integration” and “social leisure.”

1) DEALING WITH LOSS AND CHANGE;

2) DEALING WITH CONCEPTIONS OF SELF;

3) ADDRESSING ADAPTATIONS IN COMMUNICATION AND COMPANIONATE ACTIVITY;

4) DEALING WITH SOCIAL SUPPORT IN THE CONTEXT OF EQUITY.

Changes in social network structure, typically include diminished size of network, decreased frequency of interaction, loss of friendships, and increased divorce in younger populations.

Riverview Youth & Community partners have come together to form the Riverview Youth Network, which will work to address specific issues that impact young people’s well-being and their ability to succeed in school. These issues include bullying, drug use, sense of belonging and community connections.

As the network evolves there are also changes in within social relationship(s) functioning to include: a reduction in the multidimensionality or range of companionate activity (activities where people engage with partners, spouses and equal companions), social space modularization, and heightened discomfort in communication directly impacting support processes.

Inevitably, relationship quality is affected as a result of the absence of valued relationship provisions.

The difficulty of negotiating relationships constrains convergent production. Through talking with your family and friends, you will be able to share your own ideas and decide the direction you want your life to take.

Although, finding this direction can be difficult. It might mean that you live with your family for a while after a crisis or an event that has uprooted your livelihood. If this is you, then you and your family will have a chance to adjust together. This can be a good thing.  Meanwhile, Illness and disability, degenerative or unpredictable health problems, as well as, other unforeseen causes may implicitly impact your attitude or mental and psychological health.

Much of Tulsa, the state’s second-largest city, is located on Muscogee (Creek) land. The tribal representatives said, in a statement. “Today’s decision will allow the Nation to honor our ancestors by maintaining our established sovereignty and territorial boundaries.”

The Jimcy McGirt ruling will have significant legal implications for eastern Oklahoma residents.  Widening the entitlement gap as concerning: justice in acquisition and  justice in transfer.

AIMED AT THE COMPLETE ELIMINATION OF AFRICAN-AMERICANS?
