VP Kamala Harris called for the passage of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, a bill she co-authored as a senator, at Tyre Nichols' funeral. “This violent act was not in pursuit of public safety,' she said. “Tyre Nichols should have been safe.”
The funeral of Tyre Nichols, a Black man who died after being beaten by police officers in Memphis, Tenn., was marked by emotion, music and a renewed call for justice on Wednesday, including by Vice President Kamala Harris.
With the families of other victims of police violence in attendance, Harris and several other speakers called for passage of the police reform bill, which stalled after passing in the House in 2021. The content of the addition named after Nichols was not outlined at the service. “They told her she shouldn’t be here today, but the snow backed up, and she’s here,” Sharpton said of Harris at the funeral, to applause.
