What don't you understand about the bold-faced underlined above?
The fact that many IIDB posters were talking about something other than Tyre Nichols.
Like the police.
That's kinda a problem. People talk about what they want to talk about, then dodge other issues. Or post snarky rhetoric and pretend that they've responded to a nuanced question.
It happens a lot on IIDB.

Yes, threads are often long, rambling conversations with lots of derails.
I’m not sure what it is about Tyre Nichols that isn’t being discussed. By every report I’ve seen, he appears to have been a talented young man with dreams and and a loving family and friends. He’s dead and those dreams will never be realized.
We are left with trying to figure out what lead to the police officers brutalizing him and causing his death.
This is not an isolated instance of police brutality resulting in the death of a young black man. Each instance is unique but also part of a pattern that is played out across the United States. There is no simple cause and solution. This is going to be a long conversation, a long series of conversations.
