U.S. vice President Kamala Harris has implored Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act
While at the funeral of Tyre Nichols, who was beaten and died at the hands of five Memphis police officers – Harris implored for the right thing to be done.
“As vice-president of the United States, we demand that Congress pass the George Floyd Justice and Policing Act. Joe Biden will sign it,” Harris made the call to action while at the congregation in Memphis.
The Memphis Police Department fired five of the officers involved in the attack, who also are Black.
Prosecutors then charged them last week with second-degree murder, assault, kidnapping, official misconduct and oppression.
