Tyre Nichols' funeral held in Memphis | full video

The funeral of Tyre Nichols was held on Wednesday at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church in Memphis. Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, died on Jan. 10, three days after he was beaten by several Memphis police officers during a traffic stop. Five officers have been fired and charged with second-degree murder in Nichols' death, which has reignited calls at a federal level for policing reforms.

He just wanted to go home! My heart aches thinking about how he called out for his mother. What a cruel, senseless and unjustified act. Prayers for Tyre's family. May they find the strength to endure this pain and fight until justice is served. A very moving tribute. Rest in eternal peace, Tyre Nichols.

CHILLS !!!!! 😫🙏🏾

[@msb5641]

To read such touching tributes of the life of this young man, who most may say is gone too soon but a greater purpose for his life has been fulfilled. It was not by happenstance that Tyre arrived in Memphis and remained due to Covid shutting down most travel and so on. He arrived at an appointed time and that light of a good soul was seen in California was for a while but his true destination was Memphis. As the friends that knew him dearly, shared so many loving memories, two memories shared stuck out for me the most , and that was “he was a beautiful soul”, and “how can a person that was such a light be put out in darkness”. These thoughts are so keen when you hear his mother, describing her son as one who loved to skateboard and taking pictures of sunsets. Those two thoughts give insight to a soul that was light that had wings already in flight as he did so many tricks on his skateboard and the beauty of creation that he felt compel to capture as words could never express the true beauty of what his frames captured through the lens of his own eyes, that he wanted the world to see. We are given roots from birth that develop into the wings of adulthood but I believe Tyre was given wings from birth and left his footprints in the light of his rooted presence that has been left in the hearts of so many. He was a chosen vessel of light that encountered darkness on January 7th that now has been shed abroad in a greater light to shine on what may have never been known what others may have encountered with this scorpion unit. Mr and Mrs Wells, I couldn’t imagine the feeling of losing a child but know that your son in his 29 years has touched more lives in his short lived life than most will in a lifetime. My condolences and deepest sympathy to you and your family. May you all find the strength and continued comfort in the loving arms of our gracious and compassionate Father, who is a stronghold and leaning post for all who come to Him. Tyre will not be forgotten and he is certainly loved even beyond this life. Be blessed

[@nigget-tv-videos4135]

if people really cared about stopping these events, they would have a honest debate, and want the evidence proved..before they just claim racism ... they would want to find the WHY! so they can tackle it but George Floyd death was classed as racist! but other than officers skin colour...there was nothing to prove racism..no slurs or anything

[@msb5641]

A powerful eulogy…..Rev Sharpton…..keep going for the day is coming when we will reach the Mountaintop…the Promised Land, where there will be no more crying, no more dying, no more sickness, there will be peace and everlasting peace on that day but until that day, let us continue to fight on……

[@kd78orangerangerpete79]

Yes even if he was somewhat wrong as well. It should not have ended in his death. I'm sure somehow white people are at fault.

[@nigget-tv-videos4135]

Nope it shouldnt! BUT a un-just police killing shouldnt result in the reported reason for it being what it isnt. white officers involved = racism. evidence of racism or not and unless you really look into why it happened..instead of assuming racism.. how ever do you expect to tackle the real causes and stop it?

Maybe if deaths by police were debated and reported honestly! and the reasons behind them looked into... this events might be more rare But the media only report black deaths, and report them depending on the race of the police officer who did it if white on black.. its reported as racims.. even when zero evidence!

Prayers for this entire family. I just started bawling when his older sister spoke. We need police reform in this country. No more police brutality. We need better vetting of potential cadets. People in the military should not get an automatic pass into the police force. We don't need people with anger issues, psychological issues, or vendettas to be on any police force. We need more level headed, self-disciplined people to help, serve and protect the public. I hope there is justice for Tyre and especially for his mother.

[@nigget-tv-videos4135]

a MSNBC viewer never hears of murders by police officers... unless the victim is black A MSNBC viewer are always told the reason behind a black death by police is racism...if the officers are white. even if the evidence proving it dosent support it Msnbc never report more whites die at hands of police, but instead hear that a black man is twice as likely per population to be killed by police than a white man but dont add that black men despite being 7% of population. commit 50% of all serious crime meaning they come into contact with police 7 times as much as whites per population. so chances of encounters with police that could end in death are 7times higher... so really the stat of blacks twice likely as white to die at police hands... show that more whites per % of encounters with police is 7 times lower.. and should result in blacks deaths being more than twice as likely as whites stats and facts matter
