This evening, the video of the encounter between Memphis Police Officers and Tyre Nichols was released. Understandably, this incident has reignited nationwide concerns about the relationship between the police and the communities they serve. It is not lost on us that today's news impacts our local community or that this is not the first time we have had such instances occur in our nation.
We all have been shocked and angered by today's video of the brutal assault of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, which resulted in the arrest of five Memphis police officers, now charged with murder. There is no greater betrayal than being hurt by those we rely on to protect us. Our concerns and prayers go out to the families and communities affected by this tragic and unacceptable abuse of authority by law enforcement officers. I know that members of the Woodburn community will be deeply affected by the Memphis events.
