Tyre Nichols was killed during a traffic stop with Memphis Police.
  • Rodney King's daughter is sickened by the beating and death of Tyre Nichols in Memphis.
  • Nearly 32 years after her fathers' beating, she can't comprehend how police brutality continues.
  • Lora King says the race of the 5 police officers involved in Nichols' beating is irrelevant. 

When Lora King — Rodney King's oldest daughter — first came across news of the police killing of Tyre Nichols in Memphis, she was so sickened she had to take a break from reading.

Now 38, King was only 7 in March 1991 when her father was kicked, stunned, and punched by four white Los Angeles police officers in the San Fernando Valley.
