Tyre Nichols funeral: Rev. Al Sharpton, Kamala Harris join mourners at Memphis service | LIVE

Global News published this video item, entitled “Tyre Nichols funeral: Rev. Al Sharpton, Kamala Harris join mourners at Memphis service | LIVE” – below is their description.

A funeral for Tyre Nichols will be held on Wednesday at the Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church, where U.S. Vice-President Kamala Harris will be in attendance, and civil rights activist Rev. Al Sharpton will deliver the eulogy.

Family and friends will pay their final respects to the Black 29-year-old father who died in hospital after a fatal traffic stop and encounter with police in Memphis, Tenn. last month.

The Memphis Police Department subsequently fired five of the officers, who also are Black, and prosecutors charged them last week with second-degree murder, assault, kidnapping, official misconduct and oppression. Two other officers implicated in the events leading to Nichols’ death have been relieved of duty – effectively suspended – and are under investigation.

Ben Crump, a national civil rights attorney who represents the Nichols family, is also expected to deliver a call to action. A press conference will take place immediately after the funeral.

Nichols’ death has sparked outrage across the U.S. and renewed calls for police reform.
