The 29-year-old was brutally beaten by five Memphis police officers after a traffic stop on Jan. 7. He died three days later from his injuries.
"Tyre has brought us here. Let us not just stop here! Let us take it across the country!" he said.
"All cops are blue. The time you put on the badge, gun and uniform, you ain't black no more. You are an agent of the state," said Brooks. "So, we are also here to say take cops out of the traffic stops! You do not have to need a badge and a gun to give somebody a speeding ticket."
