In February, Tyre Nichols’ friends and family filled a Sacramento skate shop to remember their fellow skateboarder, friend, and brother. 29-year-old Nichols died on January 10th, 2023, three days after being brutally beaten by the Memphis police at a traffic stop. In the aftermath of Nichols’ death, VICE News’ Alexis Johnson heads to Memphis, Tennessee to understand how a city focused on police reform failed to prevent such a violent encounter and how some citizens are re-imagining public safety.
