Tennessee Governor Bill Lee signed a bill to reverse Memphis traffic stop reforms following the death of Tyre Nichols. The move has sparked debate, with Republicans arguing for accountability for officers rather than new restrictions on traffic stops. Additionally, Governor Lee replaced all eight seats on TSU's board shortly after the bill passed the House, blocking a police reform law inspired by Nichols' killing.
