Vice President Kamala Harris will attend the funeral of Tyre Nichols, who died three days after he was beaten by Memphis, Tenn., police officers just minutes from his home.
With five Black officers charged with murder in the beating death of Black motorist Tyre Nichols, what do we know about the role race plays in policing?
Nichols’ death was the latest in a string of early accounts by police about their use of force that were later shown to have minimized or omitted violent and sometimes deadly encounters. Nichols’ older brother, Jamal Dupree, told CNN’s Don Lemon on Tuesday that he feels guilty because he wasn’t there to protect his younger sibling.
“I think people really know my brother did not deserve this,” he told CNN. “He was not that type of person. Yeah, he was just a good guy around the board. ... We want justice.”The city of Memphis released video Friday showing Tyre Nichols being shot with a Taser, pepper-sprayed, beaten and restrained for three minutes by police.
