Statement on Memphis Police Killing on Tyre Nichols Killing

The United Christian Leadership Ministry (UCLM) expresses our horror, grief, and outrage at the senselessly brutal behavior of the five police officers who brought about the demise of Tyre Nichols. We deplore the despicable actions of these five police officers, as well as the actions of the first responders who callously ignored Mr. Nichols’s need for medical attention. 

We are calling for these five officers and all others involved to be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. 

We are praying that God will grant comfort, serenity, strength, courage, and the peace which passes all understanding to Mr. Nichols’s family, friends, and all who are suffering as we face this hideous demonstration of inhumanity. It is our prayer that this will never happen again. It is our mission at UCLM to do God’s work to help bring forth the change that is needed in Rochester, in Memphis, and all across our nation. 

"Let Justice run down like water, and Righteousness like a mighty stream."

 The Reverend Dr. Dwight Fowler 

UCLM President
