When police kill someone, Chattanooga Police Chief Celeste Murphy said, all police departments must answer for it.
Murphy spoke to about 80 Chattanooga residents, most of them Black, at a town hall meeting at the Greater Community Church of Chattanooga on Monday evening. When the chief took the podium, most of the audience stood for an ovation.
The Police Department hosted the meeting with the Chattanooga chapter of the National Panhellenic Council, in response to the police killing of Tyre Nichols in Memphis in January. Murphy took around 20 questions, submitted by residents on notecards.
