Speaking at the funeral of Tyre Nichols, Vice Pres. Harris says Congress 'should not delay' in passing the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act. 'Let our memory of Tyre shine a light on the path toward peace and justice.'
The Rev. Al Sharpton told mourners that the body camera video “speaks for itself.”
Sharpton said he wants to see the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act passed so “you have to think twice before you beat Tyre Nichols. You think twice before you shoot at someone unarmed.” “Mothers around the world, when their babies are born, pray to God when they hold that child, that that body and that life will be safe,” Harris said. “Yet we have a mother and a father who mourn the life of a young man who should be here today. They have a grandson who now does not have a father.”RowVaughn Wells stops in front of the casket of her son Tyre Nichols at the start of his funeral service at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church in Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 1, 2023.
