Tyre Nichols' family gathered in Memphis, Tennessee, for his funeral, weeks after the 29-year-old died following a violent encounter with Memphis police caught on body camera.

 

Graphic footage of the Jan. 7 traffic stop, which showed officers beating Nichols, was released to the public on Friday and sparked nationwide outrage. Nichols, a young father who loved skateboarding, died on Jan. 10, after spending three days in a hospital.

 

Five officers involved in the incident have since been fired and charged with several felonies, including second-degree murder.

Five officers kicking and beating this young man, one would think that some knew what they where doing was wrong?

And one might think that the 3 medical people who arrived might have wanted to help the guy out instead of standing around not rendering aid.   

Interesting how they mention that the victim was black, but not that the officers who beat him to death were black.

 

 

Also, I found this comment interesting.

 

 

I think Randal Worcester might disagree with that statement.

Time to stop playing the race card, this is about police brutality, not race.

There is a rumor on another board I frequent that states Tyre was in a relationship with the ex of one of the officers. Now there is no proof so it's just  rumor.

Would explain a lot if true.

Rumor that started from a facebook post
