... vous êtes tous des êtres humains

Could you explain the expression "... vous êtes tous des êtres humains" in the very first example please?

HI Wladuszk,

Apart from the given translation ‘you are all human beings’ I suppose it means we are fallible, a mixture of good and bad...

Hi Cécile, thank you for the answer.

I now realize that I did not recognize the noun "beings" in "des êtres" - instead, I thought it was a verb which confused me a lot. I'm embarassed :)
