If you’re rioting, you’re revictimizing the family of Tyre Nichols. You’re selfish. You aren’t doing it for him or justice. You’re ruining a community. His Mom begged y’all not to do it. The 5 police are all charged and in jail. Justice is being served. pic.twitter.com/Wuv13cSiQU

In connection with Nichols’ beating, the five Memphis policemen Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr., and Justin Smith were fired from their positions last week after failing to step in, failing to help Nichols, and using excessive force after Nichols was stopped for allegedly driving recklessly. Moreover, the police officers, all of whom are Black, were accused of second-degree murder.

What do the videos of Tyre Nichols’ beating show?
Long-form video from a street surveillance camera and police bodycams depicts a group of officers holding Nichols, attempting to subdue him with a Taser, and then pursuing him as he flees.
In one camera footage, officers can be seen dragging Nichols from his car’s driver’s seat, forcing him to the ground, and telling him to lie on his stomach while pepper-spraying him in the face. The video, which is mostly audio-only and lasts for roughly an hour, depicts Nichols wailing and screaming as officers repeatedly hit and kick him.
The officers can be seen striking Nichols in the face with several kicks in one highly graphic video. They pick him up and then punch his face five times. They kick him twice more in the face after he hits the ground.

Was Tyre Nichols married?
Nichols was a devoted father to his son and was adored by his family. He took good care of his young kid. According to an unsubstantiated source, Nichols, who adored his four-year-old kid, frequently shared photos of the child on social media.
Moreover, Nichols’ grieving family has come forward to tell people about the kind of man he was as a father and a son. Tyre Nichols was described as a “nice guy” by his mother RowVaughn Wells, who also recalled her time with her son and described him as near perfect.
According to Nichols’s attorney Benjamin Crump, just before the Covid-19 pandemic, the victim, a FedEx employee, relocated to Memphis. As the situation changed, he was left where he had relocated. Unconfirmed rumours claim that Nichols once had a relationship with a woman named Katie. His ex-girlfriend gave birth to a son, whose name has not been made public.
