The police chief said Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills, Jr. and Justin Smith were involved in the Jan. 7 arrest of Tyre Nichols, 29, who was Black. The Memphis Police Department conducted an internal

into the arrest of Nichols, who died three days later, and the discipline came after the probe’s conclusion, authorities said. The five officers who were fired are all Black, according to the Memphis Police public information officer. The U.S. Justice Department has opened a civil rights investigation, and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation also is looking into the force used in the arrest.and the National Civil Rights Museum, have pushed for the release of police body camera footage and have called for officers to be charged.

Relatives have accused police of beating Nichols and causing him to have a heart attack. Authorities have said that Nichols experienced a medical emergency.

If they have already been fired, this is going to be so horrifically violent.

Medical emergency. That they caused.

At last!

Sounds like it's stemming from their alleged murder of a man

oh so this is BAD bad

What do you have to do as a cop to get fired now? Bets on that this one was truly stomach churning.

It is murder. Call it that.

Did BLM riot and burn down innocent people homes over this

LCRWnews You can’t reform this

Just fired?

prisonculture Abolish the police

(class traitors)

Arrest them.

Now that they’ve been fired, I hope criminal charges are now forthcoming.

good. we don’t need cops like that. we don’t really need any cops, but scared folks think somehow cops will save them.

What happened to street justice?

Instead of firing them.. use that same exact excessive force on the 5 police officers and let ‘em end up in a hospital… Shame on them… shame on them all.

Glad to hear this outcome

Murder. They need to be charged with murder

Freedom of information act . Fort Wayne Indiana profiling out 👏 hand? Then on certain law enforcement one in particular ( bi -sexual or female or Cross dresser) got about 200 complaints filed in writing... The other part on probable cause ( notepad) k.dixie

Freedom of information act. One of best comments came on my reply s recently. The gentleman sold-out the whole situation of bad law-enforcement officers and agents and his comments wake-up this citizen up . His rely comment s were free also. K.Dixie

Fired is what happens when you're late for work too many times. Murder (malice aforethought) & manslaughter gets long term lock-up. Can you say, InstitutionalRacism?

The five officers weren't black, they were Blue, and that's all.

What’s so incredibly sad is the fact that this news article had to comment that the police officers were black and so was the victim. Why must it always be about race

Have they been charged? Without charges this is useless…

😳

I can’t understand why anyone would want to be a “first responder” of any kind these days.

Yea and liberals expect us to give up our weapons and trust these cops at the same time…
