Vice President Harris, Breonna Taylor’s mother and George Floyd’s brother are expected to attend the funeral of Tyre Nichols on Wednesday in Memphis, Tenn.
Nichols died earlier this month after being beaten by police officers at a traffic stop. His death has sparked a national outcry among officials and protests calling for police reform.
The Rev. Al Sharpton will deliver the eulogy at Nichols’s funeral Wednesday morning at Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church. Sharpton said on Tuesday that Nichols’s funeral will be “about justice,” not politics.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump will also deliver a call to action.
Harris’s office told The Hill that she will travel to Memphis to attend the funeral after she spoke to Nichols’s mother and stepfather, RowVaughn Wells and Rodney Wells, to express her condolences over the phone. Crump, who is representing the Nichols family, confirmed in a statement that Nichols’s parents invited Harris.

Sharpton will be there also. This is the virtue signal to end all virtue signals.

I noticed that they had to get a token white cop involved and now the media is running with it.

Hopefully they won’t turn Tyre’s funeral into a political rally like the Democrats did at Paul Wellstone’s funeral.
We’ll have justice at the trials of the people who killed him.

“Hopefully they won’t turn Tyre’s funeral into a political rally like the Democrats did at Paul Wellstone’s funeral.”
What other reason could there possibly be (to have a funeral)?

Will Jacob Frey be there? He was very close to Saint George of Floyd. Like a brother to him.
