The Carl Stokes Brigade, a Cleveland-based civil rights organization named after the city's first Black mayor, held a rally Wednesday night to share support with Memphis residents grieving following the killing of Tyre Nichols by police.

Five officers have been indicted over the beating death of Nichols. Four of them had been disciplined earlier by the Memphis police department for car crashes, failure to report use of force and more.

The Rev. Al Sharpton, who delivered the eulogy, called for justice for Nichols and lamented the fact that Nichols was killed in the same city where Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968.

Community members at Akron City Council on Monday compared the brutal beating of Tyre Nichols by police to the fatal shooting of Jayland Walker by eight Akron police officers just seven months ago.

Nichols, 29, was pulled over on Jan. 7 for what police said was reckless driving. After trying to flee on foot, Nichols was severely beaten by police. He died in a hospital days later.
