Tyre Nichols, an African American man who died after he was brutally beaten by police, will be laid to rest in southern Memphis city, as shockwaves from his death pulsate across US
People take part in vigil for Tyre Nichols at skatepark in North Natomas neighbourhood near where he grew up, in Sacramento, California.
They include Philonise Floyd — the brother of George Floyd, whose murder by a police officer in 2020 was filmed by horrified bystanders and ignited waves of unrest across the country and beyond. Authorities had feared widespread and perhaps violent protests such as those which followed the killings of Floyd and other African Americans by police, but so far, the rallies have remained peaceful.
Crump, who also represented Floyd's family and the families of many other African American victims of police violence, said that Harris was able to console Nichols' mother RowVaughn Wells by telephone "and even help her smile." He plans to meet with members of the Congressional Black Caucus at the White House on Thursday to discuss police reform legislation and other priorities, according to a White House spokesperson.
