Biden urges Black leaders to ‘keep at’ police reforms effort

WASHINGTON: President Joe Biden on Thursday said he hopes the death of Tyre Nichols after a police beating will spur Congress to enact police reforms, urging Black lawmakers to “keep at it.”The Oval Office meeting between Biden and members of the Congressional Black Caucus took place a day after the funeral of Nichols, a Black man who died in Memphis on January 10, three days after being brutally beaten by police during a traffic stop.“My hope is, this dark memory spurs some action that we’ve all been fighting for,“ Biden said.After the meeting, Representative Steven Horsford, the Congressional Black Caucus chair, said the death of Nichols was only the latest reminder of the problem of police brutality.“Yesterday it may have been Tyre Nichols but sadly this incident, these incidents, could happen to anyone,“ he told reporters.Biden’s Democrats tried to pass a wide-ranging set of reforms, known as the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, but ran into Republican opposition in the Senate
