On the Murder of Tyre Nichols
Of course, we know that most police officers are decent human beings, but incidents like the brutal beating murder of Tyre Nichols sound an alarm that cannot be ignored. The five police officers who beat Tyre Nichols to a pulp must be held accountable for their crimes. But surely by now we have seen that removing the bad apples does not protect us from the poisoned tree.
How do we process this event as Christians, and as people committed to justice, peace, and human decency?
