Previous Episode: New Year, Same Old Republican Drama
On this episode, I will be discussing the case of #TyreNichols, a 29-year-old black man beaten and killed by 5 officers of the Memphis Police Department. On January 7, 2023, Tyre was pulled over for alleged reckless driving. According to MPD, a confrontation occurred, and Tyre was able to get away from the officers. They were able to catch up with Tyre and a second confrontation occurred. During this "confrontation" Tyre was beaten by 5 officers. Video of the incident has yet to be released, BUT the five (5) officers involved have all been fired, arrested, and charged with second degree murder, aggravated assault, and official misconduct among other charges. Here my thoughts and more on this week's episode.
