DA: 5 Memphis cops 'all responsible' for Tyre Nichols' death
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Five fired Memphis police officers were charged Thursday with murder and other crimes in the killing of Tyre Nichols, a Black motorist who died three days after a confrontation with the officers during a traffic stop.
Hasnain says:
I expect things will get really grim, really quickly today once the video is released. Cops almost never get even a slap on the wrist - and here they have been charged with murder; the union isn’t defending them and the police chief says she understands if there is outrage. Verbal accounts of the video are really horrifying. As someone on Twitter put it:
“The video is so bad they fired and charged the cops involved.
It’s so bad they’re preparing for rioting.
It’s so bad the police chief has a message out saying she understands the outrage.
Now imagine if there wasn’t a video.”
