“This is not ok. We cannot normalize the National Guard killing American citizens. They shouldn’t be in Memphis at all. The family deserves answers.” Rep. Justin J. Pearson reacts to the news 2 National Guard troops shot and killed Tyrin Johnson in MEMPHIS.

@Justinjpearson No it’s not ok that a person turns his weapon to shoot our National Guard. They had no choice.

@Justinjpearson Context matters. He was running from them and firing shots from his gun.

@Justinjpearson

@Justinjpearson This is what happens when part-time soldiers are told to be cops

@Justinjpearson Enjoy the accountability that the left has dodged for decades.

@Justinjpearson He pulled a gun on them. So, are the national guardsmen just supposed to wait until they get shot at to take action? No! That’s not how it works.

@Justinjpearson How about an answer to why he pointed his gun at National Guardsmen?

@Justinjpearson PRO TIP: Don't point a gun at law enforcement.

Our govt has been allowing the CIA to operate on American soil against American citizens. Obama, by overturning the Smith Mundt Act allows our media, Hollywood, CIA, FBI….and politicians to purposely lie, manipulate and purposely spread misinformation on its own citizens. Our Republican majority @HouseGOP still has not reinstated the Smith Mundt Act to prevent govt from using manipulation n propaganda on its own people. and evil and unconstitutional. The Amith Mundt Act was intended for war time and to be used in foreign countries. Further, the House has turned over the nations purse to the Senate every single year since 1996, giving away the power of the purse to the senate and therefore they and we have NO negotiating power. Since 1996, the senate has controlled our govt and even control the cabinet members chosen by the president via the confirmation process. We are screwed. The people in this country no longer have representation but we sure do have taxation. Every single member of Congress needs to be fired and replaced and in prison for the crimes committed and covered up against the people. They stole our elections no matter who we vote for via the power the senate has stolen from the people. They all know this is true n every single one remains complicit.

@Justinjpearson Justin...for all that is holy, quit excusing horrendous behavior by blacks. Be a man and stand up for what's right, instead of being a coward...quit being afraid some thug comes after your ass for telling him to quit acting like a fool. Your cowardice is why it keeps happening.

@Justinjpearson You don't shoot at the cops or the military for sure. You point that weapon at anything and you better be prepared to fight and you WILL lose if you're a not nothing amped up gangbanger.

@Justinjpearson The oligarch-funded AiBots are extremely racist on this thread. Disgusting.

@Justinjpearson The only thing that matters is what actually happened. That’s all that should ever matter. The facts above all else.

@Justinjpearson He “dindu nuffin” and was “a good boy” right? Was going to go to college too? Did he go to church every week with his grandmother? I don’t believe it.

@Justinjpearson Are you guys still giving this dime Store MLK platform to post his drivel on?

@Justinjpearson If what they are saying is true- he was fleeing police with a gun in his hand, and he fired at the guardsman- they fired back- then zero problem with the shooting. Civil, police officer, or national guard- if a person shoots at anyone they have the right to fire back.

@Justinjpearson It’s called the National Guard. Mr. Johnson fled law enforcement. When ordered to stop by the National Guard, he turned on them with a handgun and was shot.

@Justinjpearson So now @TheTNHoller @Justinjpearson are for people shooting at police and national guard!! Democrats love criminals

@Justinjpearson I agree. And it’s already not normalized. It’s happened once in the past 50 years. I’d say that pretty far from “normalized “.

@Justinjpearson Race hustling grifter working his “Tennessee Three” 15 minutes of fame.

@Justinjpearson Pearson can fuck right off. Threaten a federal agent, suffer the consequences.

@Justinjpearson What's not ok is a man turning his weapon on officers. This is exactly what FAFO means.

@Justinjpearson The only people dumber than the ones that believe this are the ones that fire their guns at armed soldiers while running away.

@Justinjpearson It's unacceptable for civilians to point a weapon and shoot our law enforcement.

@Justinjpearson But we are normalizing it. The whole country should be out protesting a lot of what this administration is doing, and they just aren’t. They’re more interested in picnics and fireworks. It’s gross.

@Justinjpearson You're kidding! Right.? Crime has gone down so much in Memphis. I've seen tons of interviews of African Americans saying how much safer it feels.

@Justinjpearson Uh… Tenn National Guard are from Tennessee. Good God you people are morons. And self defense is legal. Stop fighting out service men and women and provoking violence.

@Justinjpearson You do know the Tennessee national guard is from Tennessee they are home!

@Justinjpearson Tell the bastards not to shoot at police and the Guard. Simple.

@Justinjpearson Don’t shoot a gun in a downtown area Don’t flee when given a lawful order Don’t point gun at LEO

@Justinjpearson If Memphis is too dangerous for National Guard, imagine how residents feel!! It was a dangerous shithole when I was there in the early 1990s.

@Justinjpearson Memories of Kent State.....

@Justinjpearson Scumbag thugs deserve to be ended and it’s for the good of society. This loser is an anarchist and wants to destroy all that’s good in our country.

@Justinjpearson This saved the taxpayers millions of dollars. Now we dont gave to support his 8 future illegitimate children or pay for his incarceration. And maybe even saved a life or two. We need forced sterilization of these criminals so they cant pass their genetics.

@Justinjpearson Ya'll are lying, AGAIN! Not surprising. Tell the WHOLE story!
