'Enough is enough. We have no choice but to bear witness to the life and murder of Tyre Nichols and a moral obligation to demand better for our society. These moments will and must shake our nation to its core.'
The WNBA Players Association shared a statement denouncing police brutality and declaring “enough is enough” in the wake of the recent killing of 29-year-old Memphis resident Tyre Nichols at the hands of five police officers.
Bean, Haley, Martin, Mills and Smith had been charged with second-degree murder for Nichols’s death. Additionally, Mulroy announced all of five officers had been charged with aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression. “Justice for Tyre Nichols is not fully realized with the firing, arrest, or criminal convictions of the officers involved. It must include the unambiguous and united rejection of police abuses, along with a commitment to corrective actions that better serve our communities by every level of government.
