TL;DR Summary

The Tennessee House unexpectedly passed a measure, HB1931, that would roll back police reform in Memphis following the death of Tyre Nichols, who was fatally beaten by police at a traffic stop. The bill would prevent local governments from passing anything that would interfere with stopping crime, prompting outrage from Nichols' family and Memphis lawmakers. Despite efforts to delay the bill, it now requires approval from the Senate and the governor's signature to become law, prompting concerns about undermining efforts to prevent future tragedies and foster trust between law enforcement and the community.
