Carter, Sr. Statement on Disturbing Video Footage Depicting the Death of Tyre Nichols | 2023-01-27 | 2023 | 2023-01 | Democrat | House | LA | Troy A. Carter | C001125 | troycarter.house.gov | troycarter | https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-La.) issued the following statement following the release of footage from the horrific attack on Tyre Nichols at the hands of Memphis Police Officers: “There are no words to describe the pain I feel seeing the gruesome murder of Tyre Nichols. As a Black man and the father of two boys – I am heartbroken. There is no logic, no explanation, for the level of cruelty shown by these officers in response to a driving stop. We can and must call out the use of excessive force by the police. Without accountability and transparency, Black Americans will continue to die at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve. “I am thankful that the officers involved were quickly fired, arrested, and charged when so many times before that has not been the case. This is the level of response we should always expect in instances of police brutality.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T23:08:17Z |
