Protests continue days after the body camera video was released showing Tyre Nichols being beaten by police in Memphis.
Three such demonstrations took place in Charlotte on Sunday. Two of these were marches at Marshall Park in Uptown. A candlelight vigil was also held at the Urban League of the Central Carolinas.
At all of these events, demonstrators reflected how senseless Nichols’s death was.
“They beat that young man to death over a traffic stop,” said one person in attendance. ” Even if he was recklessly driving did he warrant getting beat to death?”
The officers involved in the deadly incident were charged Thursday with murder and other crimes in the killing of Nichols, who died three days after the confrontation with the officers during a traffic stop on Jan. 7.

If he would have complied he would have survived. The cops are in the wrong 100% but he resisted, ran, and resisted again. If you disagree with why you're being stopped you can have your day in court. You can't disobey lawful orders over and over and just expect cops to wait patiently for you to comply. They aren't there to have a conversation with you until you're detained and morandized. Crazy to me that everyone is painting this man as someone who did nothing wrong during the interaction because he did. These cops were all fired and charged immediately. How is that not justice? What is justice to you? What else do you expect to happen? Y'all really make no sense sometimes. RIP Tyre but you played a stupid game and you won a stupid prize. I am certain of he had a chance to redo his actions he would have complied and moved on with life.
Funny how all of these Tyre supporters are promoting socialism, black replacement and deleting the police. I would ask these supposed supporters what was his favorite color, what was his favorite fodd…these people are frauds using this man along with standing on his grave to push a political agenda. BTW…your station is no different.
Tyre WASN'T running from 5 cops he was running from 5 thugs it's just that simple. My heart breaks for his mother, father, step father and the remaining family and friends. There are no words that will change anything for his family but just know Tyre didn't die. There is no death, we dont die and Tyre is now in the arms of God and with loved ones that departed before him. The ones left behind will reunite with Tyre once again …. This is guaranteed
Rest in paradise Tyre Nichols
