Several Chicago protests were held after Memphis police released the Tyre Nichols body cam video Friday evening.
"We're tired of being murdered, tired of being beaten, tired of being chased," said Rabbi Michael Ben Yosef.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot wrote in a statement, "Tragic incidents like these not only send ripples of anguish across our country, but further erode trust between law-enforcement and communities, especially those that are Black and brown." Invoking the names of Adam Toledo and Laquan McDonald in the fight over what he called institutional racism, Pritzker added, "We must recommit ourselves to pursuing real justice and peace in the name of Tyre Nichols and so many others who never had their stories told."
"The Horrific video we just witnessed unfortunately is much bigger than the brutal MURDER of young man in Memphis, rather the reality of the violent culture of America out of control law enforcement and the failure of Real National Police Reform,""The criminal conduct displayed in the video released today is a betrayal of the public trust, a betrayal of a sacred oath, and a betrayal of all the men and women who serve the cause of justice and public safety.
