Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, died in the hospital three days after a violent Jan. 7 encounter with the five Black officers who initially stopped his vehicle for a traffic violation. In its first few months of existence, between October 2021 and Jan. 23, 2022, SCORPION made 566 arrests. Of those, 390 were felony arrests, according to Strickland. Officers seized tens of thousands of dollars and over 250 weapons, the mayor said.The Nichols case has raised concerns that the unit strayed from its core mission, had inadequate oversight and used tactics that increased the risk of violence.
