FBI director says he’s ‘appalled’ by video of fatal police encounter – follow all the latest news
“My thoughts are w/ Tyre Nichols’ family & the Memphis community. As those who were blessed to call Mr. Nichols family, friend, or neighbor mourn, we must commit to pursuing justice for his death, which feels all too familiar for far too many Americans, especially Black Americans.
His killing is a violation of the social contract between law enforcement & the people they are sworn to protect—& people are rightfully demanding accountability, corrective action, & justice. I join Mr. Nichols’ family and President Biden in asking for demonstrations to remain peaceful. We must support the efforts of authorities as they continue their investigation. And elected officials must continue taking steps to create a justice system that is truly equal for all. I’m committed to working w/ Senator Booker and our colleagues on both sides of the aisle to finally achieve critical reforms.”
