  1. The fact that this woman- this mother- took a moment to say “I feel sorry for what they’ve done to their families and what their families are now going to go through” – as she’s talking about her son crying out for her in his moments of death as they beat him, is an incredible testimony to this woman’s empathy.

    1. @Liz Segura PLEEEEZ…I AM TRYING TO AVOID YOUR IGNORANCE…GOD HAVE MERCY ON YOU AND BLESS YOU BECAUSE YOU NEED IT ALL.

    2. @norvinzor inappropriate and disrespectful. Parenting in yt American homes is nothing to put on public display. It is amazing how the very people who are always crying about divisiveness are never unified unless the victim is white. Anti-Blackness is recognized by Black people. We see you and you should be happy and satisfied.

    3. I know. I couldn’t do it but she has class. Love to Tyre’s mum from Manchester, 🇬🇧. I’m so sorry, RowV. Please accept my hugs; if your Tyre was half the person you are then he was amazing! Xxx

  2. This is absolutely horrific. No mother and father deserve this. To Tyre’s mother, I am so sorry this happened. God be with you. May there be justice.

    1. @Svetlana Mishina Пожалуйста, поцелуйте Путина в зад. Более. Продолжать идти.

    2. @GrandchildFan no idea what u said nor do I care… lol I don’t speak whatever that language is.. speak English ur in America honey boo boo

  3. My sincere condolences to this poor family. This must be terrible for them. May God bless and keep this woman this mother, for her terrible loss.

  4. This woman is a pillar of strength. All the wisdom she was able to share even through her pain & suffering was incredible.

    I’m so very sorry for your loss Mrs. & Mr. Nicols. 🙏 I’ll keep you&your family in my prayers.

  5. I’m so sorry for this horrible injustice and loss. You are very brave to go out and speak for your son and everyone else affected by these crimes against humanity. No one should be afraid like that and get treated like he wasn’t a person with a family. Shame on these officers for taking a life that wasn’t there’s to take. To the family, so much respect for all you’ve endured. You didn’t deserve this either.

  6. As a mother of three, my heart just broke into a thousand pieces. Please god, continue helping this mother in her journey. No parent should ever have to go through this. Shame on America for not hearing the heart wrenching cries of its mothers!

    1. The scary thing is how do you keep your children safe from this? Tyre did nothing wrong! It could happen to any one!

  7. As a mother, my heart goes out, and the fact that this woman still has compassion, boggles my mind I wouldn’t be able to have compassion. I wouldn’t be able to sit up. I wouldn’t be able to speak. All I would be able to do is rage, so in my heart I will pray for her and her family every day And I learned something today I learned that he will eat you up And she taught me that this mother taught me that my prayers go out to her and her family and I’ll be watching the story from the beginning to the end and doing my part because I am from California as her son also lived here in California right here in the bay area so when they march I will too

  8. So heartbreaking for these parents. This mother is unbelievably strong, loving and considerate. This is so devastating. RIP Tyre. Prayers for all of his family and friends.

    1. While Billions are sent to Ukraine, our people are getting murdered ..what’s up, Biden ?? ..think about it ?? Just stop and think about what our so called leaders truly care about …

  9. You can see the hollowness in the parents. I’m sure this is like an out of body experience for them 😭 This is so fresh & they saw their baby being treated horribly & beaten relentlessly by several “men” that we are supposed to trust & obey. They broke his neck?! 🤬
    They are handling it tremendously well considering the circumstances & as long as they get the word out, hopefully soon we have Tyrese Law. Hugs to momma & dad 💜

  10. I can’t stop crying about this. What a beautiful mother, my heart beaks for you and your husband, may god bless you.

  11. I’m so very sorry my heart breaks for your family. 😢 He didn’t deserve this brutality, it’s absolutely horrific. Prayers for you both and for your son 🙏 May he Rest in Peace.

  12. I’m so sorry you are having to go through this, Tyre’a mom. No one should ever have to experience such pain. I will be praying for you.

  13. I am just heartbroken for Tyre’s Mom, especially. Their pain and grief is clearly taking second place to their shock and disbelief. And despite their son being murdered, Mom still took the time to think about the loss the ‘savage’ police officers families will feel. RIP Tyre, watch over your Mama!

  14. So difficult to watch but out of respect for their loss and this innocent young man who was ruthlessly murdered I will listen to every word this woman, mother and father have to say. They are inspiring in the face of unimaginable heartbreak.

    1. I cant even imagine her pain. I would be full of rage but she dosnt seem to have an angry bone in her body.

  15. I looked at this whole interview as if this was my mom and I was her son, this is so heartbreaking I’m praying for peace amongst her soul !!!!!! PEACEEE

    1. Me too. I do. I honestly do. I feel like i love her. God bless u mom. The strength you need will come from God so is Justice 😢

    2. NLE you’ve been doing great work for us in Memphis and calling attention to what matters most. Please use your platform to help continue bringing change. God bless you and this sweet mom and pop.
