Sunday March For Tyre

Had us a little march for #JusticeforTyre here in Louisville Sunday. When I say little, I mean there were nine of us.

Amber Brown, one of the activists and organizers from the protests here in 2020 put it together but turnout wasn't much like 2020. Then again, the whole response to the murder of Tyre Nichols has been a lot more muted than I would have ever guessed after 2020.

Our fearless and intrepid leader was undeterred by our numbers. Luckily there's no mandatory minimum for a protest, so we took to Frankfort Avenue.

It's always good to discomfit those comfortable with the status quo. Nothing's really changed here in Louisville, and as what happened in Memphis illustrated, nothing has really changed with policing in this country either.

It was good to get out and remind people of that. Judging by the looks we were getting from customers of the places we were marching past, it doesn't take numbers to make people uncomfortable.

Supposed to do it again this coming Sunday so we'll see what happens. Until then, say his name!
