A Democratic congressman<\/a> deleted a tweet posted late Friday that described the killing of Tyre Nichols as a result of “white supremacy” \u2014 even though all of the police officers charged in relation to his death are Black.<\/p>\n

“Doesn\u2019t matter what color those police officers are,” Rep. Maxwell Frost, D-Fla., tweeted on Friday evening.<\/p>\n

“The murder of Tyre Nichols is anti-Black and the result of white supremacy,” he added.<\/p>\n

The tweet was later deleted.<\/p>\n

The tweet had come shortly after the release of four videos<\/a> from the Jan. 7 traffic stop that preceded the death of Tyre Nichols, who spent three days in the hospital before succumbing to his injuries<\/u><\/a>, according to authorities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The brutal encounter led to the firing of five Memphis police officers, who now face numerous charges, including murder. Hours after the department released the videos, Shelby County Sheriff Floyd Bonner Jr. announced that he was relieving two deputies of duty and launching an internal investigation of his own.<\/p>\n

CNN’S VAN JONES SAYS TYRE NICHOLS’ DEATH MIGHT HAVE BEEN \u2018DRIVEN BY RACISM\u2019 DESPITE BLACK COPS BEING CHARGED\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The footage, taken from body cameras as well as a nearby street camera, shows Nichols attempting to flee from the officers, who chase him down, tase him, repeatedly curse at him, punch and kick him, spray him with pepper spray and leave him bloodied and dazed.<\/p>\n

Frost’s tweet was one of a number of attempts to present the death of Nichols as a racial issue.<\/p>\n

“If you think the Memphis police officers had to be white in order to exhibit anti-Blackness, you need to take that AP African American Studies course [Florida Gov.] Ron DeSantis just banned,” Former Rep. Mondaire Jones, D-NY, tweeted.<\/p>\n

“Yes, the police officers who brutally murdered him must be held accountable. But even their conviction on the strongest possible charges cannot bring Tyre back. We must do everything in our power to end police violence against people of color,” Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said.<\/p>\n

TYRE NICHOLS BODYCAM: MEMPHIS AUTHORITIES RELEASE VIDEO IN DEADLY TRAFFIC STOP<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Meanwhile, CNN commentator Van Jones<\/u><\/a> attempted to make the case that the former Memphis police officers responsible for the death of Nichols “still might have been driven by racism.”<\/p>\n

“From the King beating to the murder nearly three years ago of George Floyd, American society has often focused on the race of the officers \u2014 so often White \u2014 as a factor in their deplorable acts of violence,” Jones wrote. “But the narrative \u2018White cop kills unarmed Black man\u2019 should never have been the sole lens through which we attempted to understand police abuse and misconduct. It\u2019s time to move to a more nuanced discussion of the way police violence endangers Black lives.”<\/p>\n

“At the end of the day, it is the race of the victim<\/i> who is brutalized \u2014 not the race of the violent cop \u2014 that is most relevant in determining whether racial bias is a factor in police violence. It\u2019s hard to imagine five cops of any color beating a White person to death under similar circumstances. And it is almost impossible to imagine five Black<\/i> cops giving a White arrestee the kind of beat-down that Nichols allegedly received,” Jones said.<\/a><\/p>\n
