In a fiery speech, civil rights activist Reverend Al Sharpton compared the Memphis police officers who fatally beat Tyre Nichols to a group of gang members.

“We talk a lot about the gangbangers in the street and what colours they wear,” he said during remarks on Tuesday evening. “In Memphis, they wear the blue color, in uniform.”
