Police beating death of Tyre Nichols spurs calls for change in N.J. ‘There’s no excuse for that cruelty.’
The latest killing of an unarmed Black man in America after being stopped by police drew outrage from New Jersey’s elected officials, residents and activists — and new calls for legislation to better train law enforcement officers and hold them accountable.
Video of the police beating Tyre Nichols following a traffic stop by Memphis police was released Friday, rekindling protests and calls to action that followed similar attacks by police on other unarmed Blacks.
