Five former police officers from Memphis, including Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Desmond Mills Jr., Emmitt Martin III, and Justin Smith, have been charged with second-degree murder and other crimes relating to the arrest and death of Tyre Nichols, a Black driver who passed away three days after a confrontation with the police during a traffic stop. While approaching Nichols’ car, a confrontation occurred, leading to officers chasing Nichols, calling for back-up, and eventually, Nichols collapsing and complaining of shortness of breath. Nichols’ mother believes that the police caused her son to have a heart attack and kidney failure, while Attorney Ben Crump alleges that police officers beat Nichols continuously for three minutes, treating him “like a human piñata.” Video footage of the altercation will be released tomorrow.
