The death of Tyre Nichols, who was allegedly murdered by police, has caused many people to be shocked. Goldberg's comments on the incident have been criticized both on the left and the right. During an appearance on ABC's "The View," Whoppi asked if white people need to die in order for police brutality to be considered a serious issue.
On Monday's episode of "The View," Whoppi Goldberg discussed the death of Tyre Nichols, who was killed by police officers in Memphis. The left is blaming racism and white people for his death.
In response to police brutality, Goldberg asked whether it was necessary for white people to be killed by law enforcers. It is important to note that over a thousand white people are killed annually by police officers, as opposed to black individuals.

Twitter users slammed Goldberg for her comments.
One user noted that she was astonished that Goldberg was still employed. Another said that they saw white people getting beaten all the time, and the media doesn't care because it doesn't use race-baiting statistics.
Another user said that she would like to see her fired immediately. She also noted that there would be riots if the roles were reversed.
The New York Post reported that a video showing the incident before Nichols' death was released last week. In the video, which was obtained by the newspaper, officers can be seen beating Nichols with their fists and batons after they had stopped him for a traffic violation.
Five officers were charged with murder, and one of them was placed on administrative leave. Another officer, who is not named yet, has also been placed on leave by the Memphis police.
It is very sad that, in the midst of a crisis, someone like Whoopi Goldberg would suggest that more white people should die at the hands of law enforcers. Her comments are out of bounds and show an implicit approval of violence.
It is crazy for people to think that she should not be fired for her comments, especially since she made them on a national television program. We can't allow people to make these kinds of comments without consequences.
