Relatives of Tyre Nichols, George Floyd and Eric Garner say lack of police reform is frustrating
Associated PressMEMPHIS, Tenn. — Relatives of Tyre Nichols, George Floyd and Eric Garner — three Black men killed in violent confrontations with police officers — expressed frustration Friday with politicians who have failed to pass police reform legislation or have worked to invalidate laws intended to reduce chances that citizens’ encounters with police end in death. people have lost their children, their siblings.” Floyd took part in a panel discussion with Nichols’ mother RowVaughn Wells and his stepfather Rodney Wells; Gwen Carr, the mother of Garner; and Sybrina Fulton, the mother of Trayvon Martin. After Nichols’ death stemming from a beating by five Black Memphis police officers in a January 2023 traffic stop, his parents backed police-related ordinances passed by the City Council, including one that banned so called pre-textual traffic stops for minor violations such as a broken tail light. The people are not understanding what the politicians are doing, and the politicians definitely don’t understand what the people want.” Also speaking was Carr, whose son Eric Garner died in New York in 2014 after he was put in a chokehold by a white police officer.
