reverend earl fisher, thank you very much. joining me now from memphis is rodney wells, tyre nichols' father. i want to give our deepest condolences to you. you should not have to be here tonight to talk about losing your son. but i thank you for being gracious enough to do it anyway. i want to give you a moment rather than to talk about the horrors that we just saw, i want you to tell us about tyre, tell us who he was as a person, as a living person, and what he meant to his family. >> tyre was a sweetheart. he had a very infectious personality. every time, you know, we worked together. so everybody at my job loved him to death. he was the kind of guy where you come in the door, you can't walk past him without getting a hug. you know, he's going to make sure, if you get past him, please rr going to make sure you come back and give him a hug. he's just that kind of person. and everybody adored him. when we had -- when this first happened, we had a balloon release at my job. and it was over 100 employees in the parking lot for
