A group of religious leaders in Delaware denounced the police killing of Tyre Nichols days after shocking body camera footage was released and called for reforms in their state.
The Interdenominational Ministers Action Council of Delaware gathered Tuesday in Wilmington for a press conference on what they called the "Memphis Murder" of Nichols.
Activists also turned their focus to Delaware and what they claim is its "secretive process" of disciplining police that they want to be opened to public scrutiny. "They are extremely abusive and overreaching. We have several complaints from residents they’ve abused their rights, and have been abusive of family rights," Trippi Congo said.
Keandra McDole shouted at the gathering from the fringe of the event. Her 28-year-old brother Jeremy was killed by police in 2015.
