So the lawmakers passed this bill and is currently sitting on Governor Bill Lee’s desk waiting to see if he's going to sign or veto it. And this came right after the Tyree Nichols murder that happened in Memphis with police officers. Six years later or five years later, after the board was established, we find out that the lawmakers are trying to do away with the Community Oversight board. Not by a small margin, but by a large margin. 6, we were able to go and vote on a community oversight board. And the FOP, which is Fraternal Order of Police, they were trying to stop us every step of the way. So we started talking about getting a community oversight board.

When Sheila Clemmons Lee’s son was killed in a Nashville police traffic stop in 2017, she joined a coalition campaigning to create a police oversight board.
