We go to Memphis, where talk with Amber Sherman about the recent police killing of Tyre Nichols, a young Black man who was pulled from his car for allegedly driving recklessly, and beaten for three full minutes by five officers. He was hospitalized on January 7th and succumbed to his injuries three days later. The five officers have been fired and the community is calling for criminal charges to be filed and the body camera footage to be released. Amber Sherman is an organizer with Decarcerate Memphis and a member of Black Lives Matter Memphis. She is a native Memphian and a nationally known political strategist, activist, organizer, and host of her own podcast called The Law According to Amber.
