Michigan's Legislative Black Caucus said that it wants to see lawmakers pass police reform bills following the death of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man​ who died days after Memphis police severely beat him.

What they're saying:

"That could've been me, that could've been my younger brother, that could've been my 1-year-old son," said 30-year-old Rep. Donavan McKinney . McKinney said he fears for his safety while driving up to Lansing from Detroit. "This badge on my hip doesn't matter, the title you hold, the education you received … We're telling our Black boys and girls 'Don't wear your hoodie, be presentable' … But that's not enough …"Lawmakers need to reintroduce the package to send bills through the Civil Rights, Judiciary and Public Safety Committee, which is chaired by Sen. Stephanie Chang .

Chang tells Axios that lawmakers "are going to take a look at the bills and see what revisions need to be made and get together with the various state and national groups we've been working with." Chang says they plan to circle around with law enforcement groups and prosecutors as they did last term.

Tyre Nichols’s family attorneys question white officer’s discipline after Nichols’s deathThe other five officers, who are all Black, have been fired and charged with second-degree murder among other offenses, which has raised more questions for the department about their transparency and alludes to the possible racial dynamics in this case. Is Hemphill transgender? Asking for a friend. Culture is a big part of the problem. If you just point the finger at the police, then you are half wrong. From my experience, many young people and especially black males have a hard time complying with police, who are human. If someone doesnt listen to you, then what do you do?

WATCH: The View hosts tie Tyre Nichols's death to DeSantis blocking black history courseAna Navarro took the opportunity on Monday's episode of The View to tie Gov. Ron DeSantis's (R-FL) blocking of an Advanced Placement African American history course to the police beating death of Tyre Nichols. conncarroll TheView GovRonDeSantis Watching the view contributes to idiocy. I wouldn’t advise watching it. conncarroll TheView GovRonDeSantis It's not a black history course though TheView GovRonDeSantis That's a false equivalence. The issues facing this country aren't as cut and dry as a political pariah trying to win points with his base by blocking an AP course.
