Tyre Nichols's parents, Monterey Park hero invited to attend State of the Union
Lawmakers invited the parents of Tyre Nichols, the man who died after Memphis, Tennessee, police officers beat him earlier this month, and Brandon Tsay, the man credited with saving lives by disarming the gunman in an attempted second mass shooting in Monterey Park, California, to attend the State of the Union address on Feb. 7.
Nichols, 29, was hospitalized after Memphis police officers assaulted him while conducting a traffic stop on Jan. 7. He later died from his wounds, police said, on Jan. 10. The city released graphic video this week of the beating, and Nichols's death has renewed calls for police reform. Protesters walked the streets over the weekend to decry police brutality.
Haley, Martin, and Smith are in jail on $350,000 bonds, and Bean and Mills were booked on $250,000 bonds. The officers were part of the city's Scorpion Unit . It has since been disbanded.
