'By the year 2033, in just a short decade from now, Utah will look more like the diverse populations of Texas and California. Law enforcement must prepare now for the rapid change that’s coming,' Andre’ M. Boyd writes.
Photos provided by the Memphis Police Department show, clockwise from top left: Officers Tadarrius Bean, Justin Smith, Demetrius Haley, Desmond Mills Jr. and Emmitt Martin III. The five officers accused of killing Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man pulled over for a traffic stop, pleaded not guilty on Friday, Feb. 17, 2023 to second-degree murder charges a month after police and traffic cameras captured the officers punching, kicking and striking Nichols with a baton.
Seeing Nichols fighting for his life and being completely neglected not just by officers of the law but also by emergency medical workers and others brought up many past and very hurtful emotions. Watching Black men exhibit barbaric behavior towards another Black male is something that we in Black America have been fighting for years to address with our epidemic of Black-on-Black violence that has been taking place for decades now in many cities around the country.
I believe fully in law and order to protect the innocent and to have a just and orderly society. We are in desperate need in our nation for the men and women in uniform whom have vowed to protect and serve to police our communities with dignity and respect. The consequences grow greater each year with the loss of life, destabilized communities and deep mistrust for law enforcement officials.
