背景
泰爾·尼科爾斯之死
2023年1月27日美國中部時間晚上8時21分,[1] 五名孟菲斯市警察局警察攔截了泰爾·尼科爾斯的車輛,理由是「魯莽駕駛」。尼科爾斯在被警察攻擊後嘗試逃離自己汽車附近但失敗,很久後才呼叫救護車,事發三天後尼科爾斯去世。[2]24日的尼克爾斯家屬委託的私人屍檢初步結果顯示尼克爾斯死於「毆打導致的大量出血」[2]。
1月20日,孟菲斯市警察局解僱了涉事警察,六天後涉事警察被指控犯下二級謀殺罪。[2]孟菲斯市政府隨後公開了當時的執法記錄儀錄影,錄影表明事發時警察曾毆打尼科爾斯九次。[3]。
抗議
孟菲斯
孟菲斯的抗議活動於1月27日開始,此時泰爾·尼科爾斯死亡的錄影已經被公開。孟菲斯的Black Lives Matter運動原定在允許的烈士公園集會,但當示威者意識到公園已經關閉時改為沿55號州際公路向哈拉漢大橋。晚上9時抗議者逐漸離開[4][5][6]。尼克爾斯的家人在當地的一個滑板公園為尼科爾斯燭光守夜[7]。在第二天,尼科爾斯被警察毆打的路口成為了臨時的紀念地[8]。
美國其他地區
在華盛頓哥倫比亞特區,75名示威者於1月27日警察毆打尼科爾斯錄影公開後在拉斐特廣場示威。[9]同一天紐約市也有示威者舉行遊行[10],期間一名示威者跳上警車並試圖打碎警車的擋風玻璃,這名示威者後來被拘留。紐約市警察局宣布因為示威者前往時代廣場並聚集在紐約中央車站而關閉百老匯第48街到第42街的車輛南行[11][12],共有三名示威者在紐約被捕[13]。在波士頓,示威者在波士頓公園的擁抱雕像守夜[14]。在洛杉磯,民眾在洛杉磯警察局前舉行了守夜,守夜活動因為抗議者和警察的衝突而升高[15]。爭取社會主義和解放黨在抗議期間組織了許多示威活動[16]。芝加哥的十幾名示威者在1月27日於芝加哥警察局前示威[17] 。阿什維爾[18]、亞特蘭大、夏洛特、哥倫布、達拉斯[19]、丹佛、底特律[20]、哈特福德、休斯頓[21]、曼切斯特[22]、紐瓦克[23]、費城[24]、 鳳凰城[25]、匹茲堡、波特蘭[26]、普羅維登斯、薩克拉門托[27] 、鹽湖城[28] 、聖地牙哥[29]、 舊金山[30]、西雅圖[31]和聖路易斯等城市也發生了抗議[32]。
政府反應
喬治亞州州長布萊恩·肯普宣布喬治亞州進入緊急狀態,並部署1000名國民警衛隊到2月9日,部分原因為該州的治安情況出現動盪。華盛頓哥倫比亞特區警察局要求「所有的宣誓人員」保持活躍應對抗議活動[33]。
