The funeral for Tyre Nichols, a 29-year old Black man who died after Memphis police brutally beat him, will be held on Feb. 1 at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church. The service will include a eulogy from the Rev. Al Sharpton and remarks by Ben Crump, the civil rights lawyer representing Nichols’s family. Vice President Harris will be in attendance, as well as the families of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.
Nichols’s death has renewed nationwide calls for police reform after body-camera footage of his beating was released. Five Memphis police officers were fired and charged with second-degree murder, while two others were “relieved of duty” as an investigation continues.
The Post’s Libby Casey will anchor live coverage of the funeral from the newsroom and be joined by reporters Rhonda Colvin and James Hohmann. Read more: https://wapo.st/3HKrMM3. Subscribe to The Washington Post on YouTube: https://wapo.st/2QOdcqK

Excelente Show! Me gusto el espectaculo! Me hubiera gustado que Michael Jackson puediera haber cantado algo, si estuviera vivo.

If they wouldn't have invited the race hustlers Sharpton and Harris I would have watched.
As we celebrate Black History Month, let us keep in mind and give thanks to God for the sacrifices, accomplishments, contributions and achievements of those who have come before and paved the way for us to be where we are today.

HOW STRANGE ALL THOSE PEOPLE HAD THE SAME DAY OFF JUST LIKE IN THE PROJECTS TOO 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 VERY INTRESTING
I RATHER TO HAVE A CLOSED COFFIN FOR TYRE NICHOLS
Respect to Rev Al Sharpton all day everyday
I still didn't get my 5million from Jessie Jackson or his buttbuddie.
aha yes the black community.. they spend more time and effort on funerals of black people then actual doing something when they are alive.
Al Sharpton is still alive??? MLK is rolling in his grave hearing this tripe Sharpton is trowelling out..This is black leader?
Black people have accept sooner or later BLACK POLICE DID THIS
This wasn't a Racist attack it was Black police beating up another Black person
IF IT WAS A WHITE GUY HE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN TREATED THIS WAY
TOTAL DENIAL ITS WITHIN THE BLACK COMMUNITY WHO DID THIS ITS
5 BLACK GUYS BEATING UP 1 BLACK GUY
LIKE IT OR NOT THIS IS A BLACK COMMUNITY PROBLEM IF IT WASN'T 5 BLACK GUYS WOULDN'T HAVE BEATEN TO DEATH ANOTHER BLACK GUY
Huge respect to the amazing choir and the reverend Turner.
Liberal WOKE fake news institutions like WAPO should be held accountable for the death of Tyre Nichols. He was
murdered because of terrible policing. Memphis has terrible policing because their priority is "inclusivity" and NOT
quality law enforcement. Their need to be inclusive is the result of WOKE liberal fake news outlets like WAPO requiring
diversity in police hiring. But of course WAPO will perpetuate the lie that Tyre died due to systemic racism.
Bunch of actors… Total Psyop
Abolish the police. They do not prevent crime. They have too much responsibility. Extrajudicial executions of black men by the police has gone on too long and is by design of THE POLICE in USA.
People who come from poverty who become
Cops are class traitors. People of color who become cops are race traitors.
Sincerest condolences
I'm done sitting tight for the award advance since i acquire$23,000 every 12 days of my investment.❤️
We're mountain 🏔️ climbers 🐐.
Sad and pathetic to see all of these politicians show up for these funerals, but NEVER bother to go to any of the funerals or even comment about the black people who are killed every weekend in Chicago!!!!! Allowing the media to continue to further divide us by claiming race BS and that all cops are bad. DISGUSTING!
Aprendan a hablar con la Policia. Si se oponen Ellos no saben si estan armadis o no. No Sean Tonto's, Brutos, idiots como Este hombre. Dejen de oponerse. La estupides no alluda.
mourners = dopes
Trash rioting for their fellow trash.
I'm so proud of my white heritage
If you black, you can’t say Black Lives Matter if you killing other black people. Or supporting it in the music industry.. smh 🤦🏽♀️
RIP
How many young black men need to die until this gets fixed it’s multiple times a year now we see videos of lives getting taken it’s becoming a normal news story this has to end I see mistreatment towards African Americans everyday and I’m done with this something needs to happen
That is a funeral it's like a freakshow
I never seen a funeral that's about politics and praising other people for their jobs they don't even talk about the deceased hope very disrespectful praising people from the White House at a funeral this is someone who have passed away you should be talkin about them
Your f up.. this has nothing to do with politics it's a funeral you should be talkin about him not praising people from the White House and praise and people are black it's a funeral
May God comfort and strengthen the Nichols Family! And to his demisers …Vengeance is mine says the Lord🙏🏾💐💐💐…. Preach Rev Sharpton🗣🗣🗣👮🏽♂️👮🏽♂️👮🏽♂️👮🏽♂️👮🏽♂️
Fight On!
That man was calling for his Mom, and those cops kept beating him up for no reason …. No words will return him back , hopefully, they get capital punishment..
