'Black people can harbor anti-Black sentiments': CNN commentator argues former officers charged in Tyre Nichols' death could have been influenced by racism

Left-wing CNN commentator Van Jones authored an opinion piece suggesting that the former police officers charged in the death of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols may have been tainted by racism, even though the officers are black, as was the victim.

The five men, who have all been fired from the Memphis Police Department, were charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault, and more. Video footage of the Jan. 7 incident was released on Friday. Nichols died just days after incident.

Jones contended that the black officers could have been influenced by racism.
