Police officers are selected from the population of the U.S.A., and our population in the U.S.A. has far to go in learning about our disturbing history and its current continuing effects.

I heard about it on the radio and heard the sirens when I was playing tennis a block away. The next day I took photos of him and his badly bruised body holding the Chronicle so the date would be clear. This shows, to me, that the police have a violent culture of beating people up when they don't do what the police expect them to do. Police need to make arrests but they should not be allowed to punish the person beforehand. Police brutality must be stopped.I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family of Tyre Nichols and the entire Memphis community. Tyre's family deserves a swift, full and transparent investigation into his death.
As Americans grieve, the Department of Justice conducts its investigation, and state authorities continue their work, I join Tyre's family in calling for peaceful protest. Outrage is understandable, but violence is never acceptable. Violence is destructive and against the law. It has no place in peaceful protests seeking justice.
