Almost two weeks after Tyre Nichols died at a hospital, city officials sat down with Nichols' family to watch footage of five Memphis Police Department officers during the traffic stop that happened three days before his death.
The family, flanked by civil rights attorney Ben Crump, attorney Antonio Romanucci, and Memphis mayoral candidate Van Turner, who is also the president the of NAACP's Memphis branch, held a press conference during which Crump called the video "appalling."
"It is deplorable. It is heinous," Crump said. "It is very troublesome on every level."

Nice video sir
May all involved with the death of Tyre Nichols be brought to justice and may the be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law also. There was no excuse for the conduct of the five former officers at all. To say that what happened to Tyre Nichols would not have happened if Nichols would have never ran and just simply complied with those officers is a total load of crap and completely stupid.
We’ll see what the investigation produces, but it doesn’t look good for those 5 officers!
Why ,start paying attention and stop running your mouth . It’s called follow directions!!!!!!
Yea whatever!
R i.p Tyre and Love and Prayers to his family and in memory of Tyre we need to Get back to The Ice Cube’s Contract with Black America and The President Trump Platinum Plan including the Schools Choice vouchers now for survival and Justice
