She retired in 2016 as chief of Durham police. Jim Strickland from Memphis selected Davis in April 2021 for her current post and she was confirmed on May.<\/p>\n<p>Although some claim that Tyre Nichols&#8217; death was motivated by racism, the truth is that hatred and corruption, greed, ambition and the ability to abuse power transcend racial lines. Badges, guns, batons, checkbooks, and legislative power in the hands someone who can&#8217;t resist the call of power are dangerous. Nichols was defeated by five black officers. Two of the shooters in California&#8217;s recent tragedies were Asian. Native American and African tribes have a history of dislocating, enslaving and warring against other tribes, before the arrival Europeans. Millions of European Christians were enslaved by the Barbary Coast slave trading run by Muslims.<\/p>\n<p>This is not an excuse for white people&#8217;s actions, but to echo the Apostle Paul&#8217;s words: \u201c\u2026 all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.\u201d The color of one\u2019s skin has nothing to do with one\u2019s character. People of all races can do terrible things if they have the opportunity to gain wealth, power or influence. It is a human failing and not a race issue. It is a human failing, not a racial one. Character is built, and not bestowed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NBC News is the only one of the five officers who were charged in the death Tyre Nichols.
