Tyre Nichols was brutally beat by police, even as he seemed to follow the advice passed down in many Black families for generations as a way to prepare their children for interactions with officers
About 50 years ago, Greg Bowens was given “the talk” – sage advice about what young Black people should do and, more importantly, not do when stopped by police in Detroit.
“It didn’t seem like they were trying to arrest him,” Bowens added. “It seemed like they were trying to hurt him. It was terrifying. I was in tears.” “It just tells me something was going on before we see what we see in the beginning of the video,” Robinson said. “There is some history there. There’s something brewing. What? I don’t know yet.”
Nichols, Ivory says, tried to employ the same techniques he had imparted to his now-29-year-old son over the years. “It was sort of presumed with that background I was sort of safe,” he said. “But reality is reality.”
