Following the death of Tyre Nicols by Memphis police, activists in Jacksonville are calling for a committee to hold police accountable.
Sampson said despite marches and rallies involving millions of people nationwide demanding police reform, that list of the dead is getting longer.
The gruesome video released Friday showing Nichols being savagely beaten by now-fired Memphis police officers is only the most recent crime against civilians by police, said those at the courthouse rally. The organizations are working toward a 2024 ballot initiative to create such a committee, which will be a public watchdog.
Waters said he was “shocked and horrified” by the images and reports of the circumstances resulting in Nichols’ death. On Jan. 20, a Jacksonville police officer was wounded, and a man was shot and killed by other officers when a burglary investigation evolved into a shooting. The man, identified ashad been armed with a black, semiautomatic handgun that investigation showed was used to wound the officer, according to the Sheriff's Office.
A report filed to the committee by consultants in August of that year said Jacksonville needs police reforms, including creation of a civilian review board, and must confront"the elephant in the room, namely, the level of mistrust among the African American community regarding policing in general," the Times-Union reported.
