Republicans Move to Block a Policing Change Made After Tyre Nichols’s Death - The New York Times
It remains unclear why Mr. Nichols was stopped. Police officers brutally beat and kicked him despite his efforts to comply with their demands. The violence, captured on camera, horrified the nation and led to further scrutiny of the Memphis Police Department and its heavy handed tactics...

Memphis Police Department after Tyre Nichols killing pressured to change : NPR
"They never identified themselves as police, so I was kind of scared. Like I thought I was being robbed."
They were police – the same members of the so-called Scorpion task force who attacked Tyre Nichols.
"The crime that he committed was that he was in a car while Black."

Memphis officer Demetrius Haley texted photo of Tyre Nichols, records show - The Washington Post
"Your on-duty conduct was unjustly, blatantly unprofessional and unbecoming for a sworn public servant," the department wrote of Haley, according to state documents...
Yes, Black officers killed Tyre Nichols. What is the correct response to that?
Fifty-five years ago, Dr King went to Memphis because two Black garbage workers had been killed on the job by faulty equipment. He wasn't there simply because the workers were Black, nor was he there only to demand repair of the equipment that had killed them. King, who was in the midst of organizing the Poor People's Campaign, was in Memphis because working people were standing together to demand dignity under the slogan "I Am A Man". Until Black, white, Native and brown people unite to insist that our present economic reality is wrong and can be changed by policies that lift from the bottom so everyone rises, we cannot truly say that we have learned the lessons of our history or honored the life of one more soul who has died at the hands of law enforcement...

71 Commands in 13 Minutes: Officers Gave Tyre Nichols Impossible Orders - The New York Times
Police officers unleashed a barrage of commands that were confusing, conflicting and sometimes even impossible to obey, a Times analysis of footage from Tyre Nichols's fatal traffic stop found. When Mr. Nichols could not comply — and even when he managed to — the officers responded with escalating force.…
Opinion | The Medics Are Also to Blame for Tyre Nichols’ Death - POLITICO
As a former paramedic of 25 years, an EMS educator and author, and a former law enforcement officer, I see these cases through a different lens than most. When looking at these videos, as difficult as it is, I try to look past the violence and assess the actions of the first responders that did not intercede to prevent the act from occurring.
The case of Tyre Nichols is rife with instances of both EMS and police failing to attempt to save the dying man's life. The video shows several figures off to the side for long stretches, not actively engaging — simply watching, meandering and occasionally talking with the victim who is clearly in distress...
Videos Contradict Initial Police Report on Tyre Nichols Arrest - The New York Times
…But in an official account written up by a police officer only hours after the beating, Mr. Nichols, 29, is described as an irate suspect who refused to comply with police officers' directions and "started to fight" with them, even reaching for one of their guns.
The videos that were released on Friday do not show Mr. Nichols fighting with officers, let alone reaching for any of their guns…

‘Systemic crisis’: Tyre Nichols beating fuels calls for broad police reforms
"At the end of the day, that final video shows someone being beaten and abused like he's in a pinball game. It's like the ball is just being knocked from one end to the other," said Randolph McLaughlin, professor at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law and co-chair of the Newman Ferrara civil rights practice.
"What's most shocking about it all is the brutality and then at the end, the complete dehumanization of this man. He's not even human to them – he's not even a person," McLaughlin said. "It's as if they just went and played a baseball game and they talked about what happened afterward. There's absolutely no excuse for this."

'I'm calling for violence -- I will be violent!' Prosecutors play damning video of MAGA rioter during court hearing - Raw Story - Celebrating 17 Years of Independent Journalism
"We shut down the vote today because those coward ass politicians ran into the tunnels," he said, according to MacFarlane. "I've seen the last of you treasonous bastard politicians... give me liberty or give me death... I'm prepared to f*cking die for this. I took an oath against all enemies foreign or domestic. But I plan to have others die first."
