Pontiac, Michigan – Oakland County Executive Dave Coulter released the following statement in response to the release of bodycam footage which shows Memphis Police beating Tyre Nichols, resulting in Nichols' death three days later and second-degree murder and other charges for the police officers:

"What happened to Tyre Nichols in Memphis is sickening. No human, no family should have to endure such brutality, but here we are, again confronting an appalling reminder that justice is not dispensed equitably. People of conscience are rightfully outraged by this violence and yet it's my hope that in our pain we seek the wisdom and courage to channel outrage into action, reform, and justice for Tyre, his family, and our country."
