About 50 people gathered in Liberty Park in Salt Lake City, seeking justice for Tyre Nichols who died after being beaten by police officers in Memphis earlier this month.
SALT LAKE CITY — A day after a graphic video was released showing police officers beating 29-year-old Tyre Nichols in Memphis a few weeks ago, people all over the country are calling for systemic change — including in Salt Lake City.
“We need people to continue the work that was started in 2020, to kind of continue to pressure that we apparently need to continuously put on decision-makers and lawmakers for us to get any justice, for us to make sure that our communities are safe,” said Martinez.
