A candlelight vigil in Sacramento Monday for Tyre Nichols drew a crowd to the skate park where the 29-year-old skateboarder enjoyed spending time while living in the area.
Friends remembered Nichols' "radiant" smile as they honored his life. Nichols moved to Memphis three years ago. His funeral is set for Wednesday at a Memphis church.
The Memphis Fire Department also fired two EMTs and a lieutenant for not providing sufficient care for Nichols' injuries. San Francisco's Police Chief William Scott agrees. He says the big challenge, however, is that every state and jurisdiction can have different laws for policing. "The officers involved have to coordinate. The mindset has to be right in terms of not letting the situation get out of hand or out of control.
