As protests swept the country following the release of video showing some of the final moments of Tyre Nichols's life, his death has once again sparked debate about policing in the United States. 'I'm concerned because here we are again.'
, Nichols' parents sat down with ABC News.Chicago officials and police are preparing for Memphis police to release the Tyre Nichols body cam video Friday evening."This also justifies our son showing that he was no threat to them," Wells said."I'm concerned. I'm concerned because here we are again," said Lisa Hill.She believes the problem is multi-faceted and more complex than just a few bad individual officers.
And despite all five of the officers involved already been charged, Hill thinks people are still expecting more. "I think there needs to be an acknowledgment that these actions have been taken against a particular demographic. I think people are looking for transparency now. They're looking for honesty," Hill said."I just feel like my son was sent here on an assignment. His assignment was fulfilled and God took him home," said Nichols' mother, RowVaughn Wells.
