Two deputies with the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office have been put on leave pending an investigation after the sheriff viewed the video of Tyre Nichols' arrest and beating

Body camera footage shows police walking around as Nichols slumped to the ground. In body camera video footage released by the city of Memphis Friday, an officer can be seen tying his boot while Tyre Nichols sits on the ground in handcuffs leaning against a police cruiser.

Nichols slumps over and an officer walks over to pull him back upright before directing him to sit up. Officers appear to say at least two officers pepper sprayed Nichols, “saying I sprayed, he sprayed.” Then an officer says another officer tased Nichols. An officer later describes the traffic stop involving Nichols saying, “We tried to get him stopped, he didn’t stop."

🗣 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I hAVE A DREAM nothing to do with 5 black cops men killing murder of innocent black brown young man because of the pleasure of a POLICES UNIFORMS 🚔

All the other people there are accomplices to his murder.

donlemon What are their names? What do they look like?

A lot more Deputies should be on leave or fired. They should look into the EMS. To be there for 20 minutes and to do nothing. This never should of happened. Tyre was such a loving and caring man.

donlemon I hope toxicology reports were also done on those officers they were so profoundly insane

cnnbrk This is a total disgrace as black on black crime continues

cnnbrk Infuriating and is not what American policing stands for.

I think they all need to be checked for drugs. They everyone acted like they were on something!

donlemon I want to know why he didn't know where deputies were? Do they just run themselves and do as they please while their chief's or sergeants are twitlling their thumbs.

sarasidnerCNN Surprising that no one came outside when they saw the lights or heard the commotion. Were they afraid? If so why? Did they know abt the unit? Also no one drove by any of the streets. Were they blocked off by the officers? Was it mistaken identity? Then a cover up?

donlemon 🥲😭 for his mother. Crying for Tyre. No one helped him. We can’t let this keep happening. My heart grieves for him & his mother’s loss. 🙏💙

We saw that terrible video. All 5 cops that beat & murdered that poor young man should stay in jail until trial. They don't deserve to be out walking around after that video. DEATH PENALTY FOR ALL 5!

cnnbrk You have to write three different articles. Blahahaha no wonder CNN is going bankrupt. Better start saving that coin. I hear a layoff is coming.

donlemon Paid leave ?

Another step in the right direction! Clean house!

Everybody out there should be in jail! All of them!

On leave, with pay, I’ll assume 🙄

donlemon Where is the dash cam video? Certainly such an elite unit would have dash cams!

cnnbrk Interesting . Pelosi's husband Paul sold off 30,000 shares of Google stock last month, just weeks before the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the company over alleged antitrust violations. at $99.37 a share thats $2,981,100. How did he know?

1) He was high on drugs. 2) He had just done a hit & run. 3) He tried to get into someone else’s vehicle. 4) He RAN from police. 5) He resisted arrest. 6) Officers were black.

cnnbrk Where's BLM? All silent because it doesn't serve their political interest.

cnnbrk A bullet in the head for all in this incident. What is wrong with you people in USA

cnnbrk Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me

May his soul rest in peace, it needs a law change to prevent something like this

cnnbrk

Das waren keine Polizisten Seit wann bei der Polizei wurde ich gerne wissen Lebenslauf usw

Any statements from BlackLivesMatter ?

This is what happens when police officers have no proper supervision and the police have no nonpartisan oversight.

cnnbrk National police walk out week Feb 13th-19th protect yourself.

cnnbrk Cant believe it’s 5 of them and not a single one intervened and said “Enough”

THE COUNTRY IS SICK😔

I don't think those five cops were the smartest in the toolbox wearing body cams and beating that young man how stupid are they but on the other hand I don't think CNN going wall to wall coverage is doing anybody any good but getting people more mad this is how Riots start

Memphis is a gang town, I wouldn’t be surprised if those officers belong to one

cnnbrk The leadership will say that it’s a small percentage of their force but when 100% of the force on the scene act exactly the same, guess what? It paints a bad picture for the leadership who need to be fired. All of them.

I don't sometime understand this security in the US

Its racist to expect blacks not to be violent

cnnbrk Every criminal white or black should be taught: COMPLY OR DIE! The police job is to protect that public at large. No you personally. The Constitution gives police the right to detain with probable cause. If you feel you are being detain illegally you can file a complaint

cnnbrk Can you keep Van Joes off my tv

What about the EMT that left him just laying there

This country has been VIOLENT from the beginning. This society encourages/rewards VIOLENCE, toxic male masculinity, anger, lack of impulse control …from sports, games,guns to the classroom. And then folk wonder HOW/WHY police officers can be so brutal. VIOLENCE is our life!

Only 2 I see about 6 of them. They should all go to prison for life.

Lying 🤥 cops. This is why communities have lost trust in law enforcement.

With all the roid rage on these videos I hope you got their wives n kids away from the 'fine officers' before they become the next statistic

Someone try to say something now that it's black on black violence? It's not about black live matter anymore, it's always just been police brutality no matter what race but all those ignorant people out there want to point fingers and play the prejudice game.

Smdh that’s a damn shame all of them need the death penalty but the same way they did him. Something weird about it was he a target. Prayers to his family sad world we live in

Why were they given bail. ? Those cops should all have NO BAIL .JusticeforTyreNichols

Tyre Nichols A poem I wrote to express how I feel about it ..

cnnbrk Pitiful TyreNicholsVideo TyreeNichols

Absolutely disgusting, CNN just won’t say 5 black men did this, if it was 5 white cops holy fuck! Honestly I’ll just leave it that

cnnbrk The thing about police training and police procedures plus, police protocol. This is what Washington DC wanted. If you want to change protocol you have to stop these videos which can be faked anyway.

The Cops did the right thing.

It's always leave, it's ALWAYS leave. If it was two non-cops, they'd be arrested. ARREST THEM. ARREST THEM!

NOTHIN Pfizer 🤔

cnnbrk

Why aren't you adding in their race? When it's white cops, you scream their race in every damn sentence. But, when it's 5 BLACK cops, you seem to miss that.

Fire them...they were there and they did nothing to save Tyre's life. They shouldn't be on the force. This is why the protests usually spark...because Police Depts refuse to act when faced with the obvious. This happened weeks ago. They should have been fired already.

Virtue signaling

Everyone there should be charged inc the medical staffers. Look at the time stamps. These 'first responders' are depraved.

These officers knew Nichols. They knew him and didn’t want him talking. Drugs, gangs, whatever you want to say….all of the above.

Bidens Democrat black henchmen

Nothing about Pfizer just more black guys and cops to distract you

I would vote to free the 5.

They are accomplices, they have a duty to intervene, not a duty to stand by and watch. Charge them as the only people that could stop the sociopath police from doing this was another sociopath police officer.

Leave it to Memphis to screw things up for the whole country.

CNN has Weiser on from time to time but has never taken the time to research complaints of problems at the CO AG’s office including having a POST Director with an ugly history.

cnnbrk The kid did not comply and paid his life for his disrespect

As a African-American male I feel violated since another black male was taken away from us by the hands of law enforcement officer. Justice for TyreeNichols GetUpErica 2TRILLION jamalhbryant

They should be locked up !! NO JUSTICE NO PEACE !!! Things must change

💔

Let’s just nuke Memphis from orbit.

They beat him like he did them wrong. This was absolutely a bad drug deal or money laundering skiing or something. Those five or more people beat him knowing what they were doing!

Wrong is wrong no matter the race. I am so disappointed. What the heck were they thinking 😔 What goes through people's minds, to think this is ok? This is what we hear gangs doing. Black cops is what we need, there’s no need to fire them and charge them all with murder. They made a mistake bruh but we need their diversity anyways so why not just keep ‘em 👍

LAPD, Sheriff's Department prepared for protests after release of Tyre Nichols footageLaw enforcement agencies in Southern California are preparing for possible protests after the release of video showing the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of former Memphis police officers. Great… Cops in the US are tyrannical and sadistic. US Cops DO NOT protect the CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS that they are sworn to protect and sad part is they are PAID with private citizens tax money. There are NO good cops because cops conspire against ppl that pays them. I just hope people don't use it as an excuse to steal and loot
