Vice President, Kamala Harris Speaks @ Tyre Nichols' Funeral: He 'should have been safe. This is a family that lost their son and their brother through an act of violence at the hands and the feet of people who had been charged with keeping them safe,” Harris said after being introduced by the Rev. Al Sharpton, who delivered Nichols’ eulogy at Memphis’ Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church. “When I think about the courage and the strength of this family, I think it demands that we speak the truth,”  “And with this, I will say: This violent act was not in pursuit of public safety.”
