Justice for Tyre Nichols: Outrageous Police Brutality | Sitdown with Michael Franzese​

Jan 31, 2023


In this video, we are talking about Tyre Nichols, a young black man who was pulled out of his car by five other black officers and beaten to death, a tragedy that was caught on video. The officers' actions were nothing short of horrible and disgusting, and it is imperative that we discuss this issue. This is not just about Tyre Nichols, but about systemic issues within law enforcement that need to be addressed. We will delve into the context of the situation, and explore the root cause of this outrageous police brutality in America. 18:56
 

4 of the 5 officers charged in Tyre Nichols' death had prior violations at work​

From the link:

Four of the five former Memphis Police officers who have been charged in the death of Tyre Nichols had previous infractions with the department, according to Memphis police personnel records shared with NPR.

Former officers Demetrius Haley, Desmond Mills, Emmitt Martin, Justin Smith and Tadarrius Bean were fired Jan. 20 and are now being charged with murder. Video of the Jan. 7 incident was released Friday.

Four of those officers — Haley, Martin, Mills and Smith — were reprimanded or suspended earlier for their failure to report when they used physical force, failure to report a domestic dispute, or for damages sustained to their squad cruisers, according to the files from Memphis police. Bean did not have any reprimands or suspensions in the files.


 
The president of the firefighters union in Memphis, Tennessee is defending the actions of EMTs involved in the Tyre Nichols case.

In a letter to the Memphis City Council, Thomas Malone, president of the Memphis Fire Fighters Association, said his members “were not given adequate information upon dispatch or upon arrival on the scene” where Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, had been repeatedly punched and kicked by police after a traffic stop on January 7.

“Quite frankly, there was information withheld by those already on the scene which caused our members to handle things differently than they should have,” Malone suggested.

 
The EMTs needed to do their own assessments and not rely on LEO info.
