3 Former Officers Found Guilty of Cover-Up in Tyre Nichols’s Death
The former officers were acquitted of the most serious charge in the case — violating Mr. Nichols’s #CivilRights by causing his death.
By Emily Cochrane and Ben Stanley
Reporting from Memphis.
Oct. 3, 2024"Three former Memphis police officers were found guilty on Thursday of federal witness tampering charges in the violent beating of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man who died three days after his encounter with the police.
But all of the officers were acquitted of the most serious charge in the case — violating Mr. Nichols’s civil rights by causing his death. One officer, Demetrius Haley, was convicted on a lesser charge of violating Mr. Nichols’s civil rights by causing bodily injury.
"The mixed verdict in the federal trial in Memphis comes nearly two years after Mr. Nichols’s death, which sickened many across the nation, who viewed it as the latest example of a young Black man being subjected to #ExcessiveForce at the hands of the #police."Video of the January 2023 encounter showed that after Mr. Nichols fled a #TrafficStop, officers viciously punched and kicked him, ignoring his cries for his mother and his attempts to comply with a barrage of conflicting commands. None of the officers reported the extent of the beating.
"The three defendants, along with two other former officers who pleaded guilty to their role in the violence, still face additional state charges, including second-degree murder.
"Sentencing on the federal convictions is expected to occur in January.
"'You know what these officers did and know it because you saw it over and over again,' said Kathryn Gilbert, a Justice Department lawyer, in closing statements. 'You can use your eyes. You can use your ears. You can use your common sense. You know what these officers did.'
"The trial, which lasted about 17 days, exposed a culture of #secrecy and #violence within the #MemphisPolice Department, where officers held to an unspoken agreement that they could punish anyone who fled from them and downplay the violence. The five officers — all of whom are Black — were part of a team within the specialized Scorpion street crime unit, where arrest statistics and confiscations were a priority."

Police report in Tyre Nichols case shows astonishing lies revealed by body-cam video release, lies including that he’d been pulled over for reckless driving, “started to fight,” grabbed an officer’s gun, & that officers were victims. #JusticeForTyre https://apple.news/Ak7csTf2bSCSYLRLHU5u3_A

Tyre was murdered by police after being brutally beaten at a traffic stop -- which video later showed there was no probable cause to pull him over in the first place. #DefundThePolice & fund real public safety - education, healthcare, & more. #JusticeForTyre

They fired and charged the black officers (rightly so) real quick, but why not the white one? Why am I just even finding out his name? https://apple.news/A_IwDq-L9RRiyApeYKqJEiQ #reformthepolice #stopkillingus #justicefortyrenichols #justicefortyre

There are no good cops. Only bad cops that sometimes do good things.

Police Brutality must end immediately! Tyre Nichols did not deserve to be beaten to death. No one does. The officers who engaged in this homicide must be held accountable for their crimes. If enough cops suffer serious consequences for these types of incidents (which continue to occur far too often unfortunately)perhaps it will lead to an end to this unchecked brutality and abuse of power. #justiceforTyre

@rednano3 He calls for his mother. I’m heartbroken, scared and mad as hell. #TyreDNichols #JusticeForTyre #memphis #acab

Love is such a powerful force.
It's there for everyone to embrace -
that kind of unconditional love for all of human kind.
That is the kind of love that impels people to go into
the community and try to change conditions for others,
to take risks for what they believe in.-- Coretta Scott King

Video of the Tyre Nichols murder by 🐷's is supposed to be released around 6 pm tonight, 1/27. Potential CW in advance of the video: By all indications, this video will be very bad when it comes out.
Raise your voice. ✊️
Stay safe.
Never forget that to the cops it's them vs. everyone else. They're not on our side.

Facts from @williamcson on the birdsite:
Brutally killing people and then telling the public to only respond peacefully is one of the most wildly absurd things that's normalized as police kill more and more yearly. When they say “peace” they mean respect and accept the state's monopoly on violence.
The police are killing *more* post-2020 and telling us to peacefully accept it. What kind of sense does it make quietly allow a force to have the right to execute us with impunity? Why would it ever stop then if this is how they maintain power? They have no incentive to change.
The police won't stop killing unless they have a reason to and pleading, ‘thought/prayers,’ petitions, and empty political speeches alone ain't cutting it. Their killings are still going up. The right-wing/police state advance daily.

Just for the record, most of us black folks DON'T trust black cops either. Do you think these black cops would have beat a white person to death. NO. I have a cousin who was a cop and a black trump supporter. He was a CO at Rikkers Island in NY and used to tell me stories of brutality in the prison while he joked about it. My disgust with the police has no color lines.

#TyreNichols was murdered by police.
5 pigs were fired about as quickly as a cop ever will be in 🇺🇸.
Those same pigs have been charged with murder and jailed about as quickly as you will ever see in 🇺🇸.
The #Memphis police Chief is saying that when the video is released Friday we'll see a snuff film.
None of this is normal other than the pigs killing a young black man.
This video is going to be horrific.
Then they have the audacity to tell us not to react "badly" #acab #justicefortyre
