The Execution of Tyre Nichols: Another Cover-Up From The Lying Machine

Episode 281: Rumble with Michael Moore

A little over a week ago, I watched, along with millions of Americans, 5 Memphis police officers brutally execute 29-year-old photographer and father, Tyre Nichols — a 2nd-shift Fed-Ex employee en route home on his dinner break to sit at his mother’s table for some of her home-cooked sesame chicken — and I felt…

Numb.

A week later, I’ve finally realized why.

Under the guise of transparency, we are being lied to — including by Memphis police chief Cerelyn Davis.

On this episode of Rumble, I pull the mask off and expose the truth: there are no heroes here, they haven’t scratched the surface of accountability, this is merely damage control being sold as “justice.”

Please listen, and share.

** In order to have a troll-free, hate-free comments section — and because if there’s one thing I know about my crazy haters, they would rather spend an eternity in hell with Marjorie Taylor Greene than send me $5 if forced to become a paid subscriber — my Comments section here on my Substack is limited to paid subscribers. But, not to worry — anyone can send me their comments, opinions and thoughts by writing to me at mike@michaelmoore.com. I read every one of them, though obviously I can’t respond to all. And every few weeks or so I share them publicly here on Substack and on my podcast so that your voice is heard by the multitudes in this wonderful community of readers and listeners. The solution here is not optimal but it has worked and my Comments section has become a great meeting place for people wanting to discuss the ideas and issues I raise here. There is debate and disagreement, but it is refreshing to have it done with respect and civility, unfettered by the stench of bigotry and Q-anon insanity.
