***This story sickens me to my stomach. Whatever ‘agenda’ these clowns, narrative was … it’s idiots like this, who gives the Police force, a bad name. More importantly the devastation, is when it’s YOUR own, inciting disrespect, of their badge and position***
Five former Memphis police officers have been indicted and jailed in the beating of Tyre Nichols, who died days after a traffic stop on Jan. 7.
Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr. and Justin Smith each face several charges, including second-degree murder, aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression.
Like Nichols, all of the fired officers are Black.
On Wednesday, Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn Davis released a video statement discussing "the horrific circumstances" of Nichols' death. She called it a professional failing and said "the incident was heinous, reckless and inhumane."
During a news conference announcing the indictments of the five officers, prosecutors gave new details about what happened during the Jan. 7 traffic stop.
