Watch: Rev. Al Sharpton addresses Tyre Nichols’ death after the release of bodycam footage

In the long sequence of high-profile deaths of Black men at the hands of American police, the death of Tyre Nichols in Memphis shared many of the same hallmarks: a traffic stop that turns violent, an outraged community and a critical release of video footage.

But the case was unique in another way. All five police officers now charged with his murder are Black.
How the officers' race will influence protesters in the streets – and any future jury in the courtroom – remains to be seen. But experts, activists and attorneys told USA TODAY that the race of the officers involved is far less important than the race of the victim. They say a "historically biased culture of policing" puts Black people at risk regardless of an officer's race.

  1. The family will get a huge payout the cops will get light sentences not to flip on each other or the department in this Will all go away

  2. This is the last guy you want speaking for your family. I guess everybody forgets how this guy shoved a black girl into a garbage bag and left her in a park.

  3. boy al sharpton doesnt miss a chance he only comes out from under his rock when this stuff happens you never hear of him promoting inner city education, or jobs for blacks etc

  4. The senseless brutal beating of Tyre Nichols that lead to his death is beyond incomprehensible, reckless, and disgusting. The actions of those of five x-officers where they beat the victim to the pulp are that of gang and criminal mentality. It is appalling and sickening that we have so many bullies behind badges hiding in police departments all over the country. I can’t imagine what the family is going through. My best condolences go to the victim’s family and friends, and justice for Tyre Nichols. RIP Tyre Nichols.
