County Commission considers better law enforcement training in wake of Nichols’ death
Nearly one hundred activists took to the streets of Downtown Memphis to demand justice for Tyre Nichols on Saturday. Shelby County commissioners will consider a pair of resolutions on Monday in reaction to Nichols’ death in Memphis Police custody. (Patrick Lantrip/The Daily Memphian)
The two resolutions signal a return to the issue of use of force by law enforcement for the commission as well as the Memphis City Council nearly three years after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis prompted votes by both bodies on a series of similar resolutions.
