Gallego Statement on Death of Tyre Nichols
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Ruben Gallego (AZ-03) issued the following statement in response to the death of Tyre Nichols.
Statement from Rep. Gallego (AZ-03):
“The loss of Tyre Nichols is a painful reminder that we are still far away from a public safety system that lives up to its promise of impartial justice. Tonight, as we grieve yet another death of a black man in police custody, we must commit ourselves to the work of reforming our policing and criminal justice system, and holding those sworn to protect to the highest standards of conduct. We must restore trust between our police departments and communities they have a solemn duty to protect. I am praying for Tyre Nichols' family, and I urge a swift and transparent investigation into his death.”
