Bitter cold temperatures did not stop demonstrators from showing up to the Colorado State Capitol Saturday afternoon for day two of protesting the police killing of Tyre Nichols
DENVER — .
Denver7 spoke with Jonce Palmer, who is the chair of the Denver-Aurora Community Action Committee and helped organize the protest. "It's important for us to come out here today, not only because of what's happening in Memphis because of what's happening around the country," Palmer said. The protest comes two days after the Memphis Police Department released graphic body camera footage showing the brutal police beating of Nichols.
"We want to see all five of the officers who killed Tyree Nichols convicted of criminal charges. We want to see a permanent end to the Scorpion Program in Memphis. They've already been temporarily disbanded. We need to make sure that that program is completely over," Palmer said.
