Friends, family and community gathered Wednesday in Memphis for the funeral of Tyre Nichols, the 29-year-old who died at the hands of police. His life was celebrated at a service in the historic Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church.
Nichols’ death is again raising questions about structural bias in policing. Another concern: the disparities in the use of force by law enforcement that occurred in this attack, even when the victim and officers were the same race.
