Breaking: Five Memphis police officers have been charged with second-degree murder in the brutal beating of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, during a traffic stop, authorities said.
Five Memphis police officers were charged with second-degree murder Thursday in the brutal beating of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, during a traffic stop, authorities said.
Davis, taking an apologetic tone in her address, urged citizens to peacefully express their 1st Amendment rights while saying the disturbing video must not be a “calling card for inciting violence.”Nichols died on Jan. 10 following the encounter with police, during which he was pulled over and arrested by officers on suspicion of reckless driving, according to Memphis police. When officers approached Nichols’ car, a confrontation occurred and Nichols fled the scene on foot, police said.
The video shows Nichols being tased, pepper sprayed, beaten and restrained for three minutes, according to McGuffin. Nichols called for his mother and told officers he wished to go home, McGuffin said.
