Tyre Nichols’ mom describes agonizing moment she saw son in hospital, accuses of cops of trying to cover up beating
WASHINGTON — President Biden said Friday evening that people protesting after the release of video showing Memphis police fatally beating Tyre Nichols should respect “law and order” because the “image of America” is at stake. “What’s at stake is, first of all, innocent people’s lives, number one. And number two, it has a lot to say and do with the image of America,” Biden said as he departed the White House for a one-night stay at Camp David in Maryland.
“It has a lot to do with whether or not we are the country we say we are. That we’re a country of law and order and means by which we can peacefully protest and let the courts make the judgment.” Biden made the comment just over an hour before the widely anticipated release of body camera footage showing Nichols, 29, being beaten by police officers on Jan. 7 following a traffic stop. He died three days later.🚨President Biden just called Tyre Nichols' parents. He talked to them for more than 10 minutes."That's what you call something special," Biden replied.
