"Republican Efforts to Roll Back Police Reforms Following Tyre Nichols's Death"
TL;DR Summary
Tennessee Republicans are moving to block a policing change in Memphis that was implemented in response to the death of Tyre Nichols, who was fatally beaten by officers during a traffic stop. The change had prevented police from intervening in minor traffic offenses, but the Republican-dominated legislature passed a bill prohibiting such local laws, citing concerns about increased crime. The bill now awaits the approval of Gov. Bill Lee.
