3 Former Memphis Cops Found Not Guilty On Charges Of Beating Death Of Tyre Nichols [VIDEO]

In January of 2023 the public got a chance to view the horrific camera views of the beating that led to the death of Tyre Nichols in Memphis TN, by what we are finding out was a special group of officers called the Scorpion Squad.  From Memphis police officers that were there that fateful night we got to see the initial stop that involved officers snatch Tyre Nichols out of his car for alleged reckless driving.  From the first video it seems that the only aggressors were the Memphis police before Tyre Nichols ran away.  During the initial stop, Preston Hemphill deployed his Taser during the confrontation. In his own body camera video, Hemphill is seen chasing Nichols down the road, but then turns back to the scene of the initial traffic stop.  Hemphill is then heard saying twice on his bodycam “I hope they stomp his a–.”  Ultimately Tyre Nichols died from the beating. Five black police officers were fired immediately before being charged with murder.  Today it appears that 3 of the former Memphis cops have been found not guilty on all 7 charges filed in regards to Tyre Nichols death.

After eight hours of deliberation, an all-white jury—made up of eight women and four men—determined that Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, and Justin Smith were not guilty. The men were reportedly visibly relieved upon hearing the verdict.
