In Memphis, TN in January 2023 a special group of officers called the Scorpion Squad stopped Tyre Nichols for allegedly reckless driving. Caught on video they then proceeded to snatch Tyre Nichols from his vehicle. Tyre Nichols then escaped running from being assaulted only to later be beaten so badly that he died from his injuries.
Three of the five ex-Memphis Police Department officers, Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley and Justin Smith Jr., charged in the 2023 death of Tyre Nichols, will stand trial on September 9th, facing federal civil rights and conspiracy charges in Nichols’ death.
