Tyre Nichols: A Brutal Murder in Memphis

On January 7, Tyre Nichols was brutally beaten by 5 Black police officers in Memphis.  Three days later, he died from his injuries.  After the release of the body cam video a week ago, the world has come to know who Tyre Nichols was: his life, his heart, and his passions. We are forced to ask ourselves: When will enough be enough? 

Tyler and Jemar discuss the murder, the reaction, and what feels different this time around.
