The Virginia NAACP has issued a response to the killing of Tyre Nichols by five Memphis police officers on January 7. Virginia NAACP President, Robert N. Barnette Jr., says that police culture must change.

“Watching the brutal killing of Tyre Nichols is not a call for more violence. It is yet another horrifying reminder that the culture of policing must change. Our legislators cannot continue to turn a blind eye to criminal justice reform. We call on every Virginian to call on their legislators to do what is right. Pass legislation that fundamentally changes policing in America.”

All five officers have been charged with second-degree murder and were fired last week.
