The family of Tyre Nichols, who died after being beaten by police in Memphis, Tennessee, have demanded accountability on the eve of his funeral.

At a church in the city, Tyre's stepfather and brother vowed to keep fighting for justice. Five former officers have been charged with murder. Civil rights leaders have joined his family and called for justice.

Rhonda Logan from Memphis city council told Newsday that emotions are raw in Memphis. She says there has to be a total restructuring of the police department from top to bottom and a "reimagining of what the police force looks like". Trust with the police, she said, has to be built up again and they are going to make sure his death is not going to be in vain.
