Statement from Vice President Harris on Tyre Nichols: “Tyre Nichols should have made it home to his family. Yet, once again, America mourns the life of a son and father brutally cut short at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve. The footage and images released will forever be seared in our memories, and they open wounds that will never fully heal.”
Colorado Governor
Colorado Governor Jared Polis released a statement following the release of body-camera footage surrounding the death of 29-year-old Tyre Nichols in Memphis, Tennessee. “Coloradans mourn with the Nichols family and the Memphis community during this difficult time. This incident is inhumane and appalling and our heart breaks for the senseless death of Tyre Nichols, no parent should have to experience what the Nichols family is going through. I appreciate the swift action by Tennessee law enforcement in the termination, investigation, arrest, and filing of charges against those involved, and hope that they are held accountable to the greatest extent of the law.”
