Thousands of people from across the Bay Area are marching Sunday in Oakland in wake of the release of Memphis police bodycam footage of the Jan. 7 arrest of Tyre Nichols.
"Tomorrow afternoon at Third Baptist Church at 3 o'clock sharp, there'll be a gathering of persons from all walks of life in order, that we might express our peaceful protest over the unfortunate horrific beating of Tyre Nichols," said Rev. Amos Brown, leader of the NAACP in San Francisco Third Baptist Church Pastor on Saturday.
"The issue is not about black officers," said Amos. "The issue is about a culture in the police departments of this nation.""I can't call it hope cause I actually don't know if I believe things are ever going to change in this country for Black people," Brooks said. "To be perfectly honest with you, I'm so tired of marching but I have to keep going. What drives me is a deep love for my people.
