Kamala Harris decries ‘violent act’ as thousands remember Tyre Nichols

The Rev Al Sharpton delivers passionate eulogy at church service to Black man, 29, who died at hands of police in January

Thousands of mourners on Wednesday attended the funeral of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man who died three days after Memphis police officers beat him following a traffic stop last month.

Nichols' beating shocked many in the US after being captured on camera, and triggered yet another bout of soul-searching over racism and police brutality. The five officers involved have been charged with murder and other crimes.
