Civil rights activists have called for “accountability and justice” after they say a motorist was beaten to death by law enforcement officers in Tennessee, in the latest instance of police violence to embroil the United States.
Tyre Nichols died after a traffic stop in Memphis, Tennessee earlier this month. On Tuesday, civil rights lawyer Ben Crump, who represents Nichols’s family, said police had taken the 29-year-old away from his relatives, his community and his four-year-old son.
