In reactions to the release of violent video footage, state officials said the Memphis beating had ripple effects in New Jersey.
“While we are gratified that the officers involved were immediately relieved of duty and swiftly charged for their roles in Tyre’s death, that does not reverse the injustice that was done. Tyre should be alive today.”
All five officers – Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Desmond Mills Jr., Emmitt Martin III and Justin Smith — were removed from the force and taken into custody. “Every law enforcement encounter such as this reverses the progress we are making across our state. The trust we have worked so diligently to establish is damaged.”
