"Tennessee Reverses Police Reform Following Tyre Nichols' Death"

Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a law nullifying police reform measures passed in response to the death of Tyre Nichols, preventing local governments from interfering with police actions. The reform, known as the Tyre Nichols Act, aimed to eliminate "pretextual" traffic stops. Nichols' parents, who advocated against the new law, believe it puts Black Memphians at risk and undoes their son's legacy. The measure becomes law as the Memphis police department is already under a federal civil rights investigation for Nichols' death.
