Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency that will enable him to deploy up to 1,000 National Guard troops “as necessary,” following protests after a 26-year-old forest defender Tortuguita was shot dead last week.
We are closely monitoring the events in Memphis and are prepared to support peaceful protests in our city. We understand and share in the outrage surrounding the death of Tyre Nichols. Police officers are expected to conduct themselves in a compassionate, competent, and constitutional manner and these officers failed Tyre, their communities, and their profession. We ask that demonstrations be safe and peaceful.
Kemp's declaration of a State of Emergency isn't about property damage at Saturday's protests at all. It's about police murdering and Tortuguita within two weeks of each other. They're trying to instill fear in anyone who stands up against police brutality.
