MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The family of Tyre Nichols, who died after a brutal beating by five Memphis police officers, sued the officers and the city of Memphis on Wednesday, blaming them for his death and accusing officials of allowing a special unit’s aggressive tactics to go unchecked despite warning signs.
In most cases, the officers have been white, but all five officers accused in Nichols’ death are Black. The officers have been charged with second-degree murder. Nichols said “What did I do?” during the encounter and ran away from officers after he was pulled out of his car “to attempt to save his life and defend himself,” the lawsuit said.
The five officers’ own body cameras recorded them beating Nichols and then ignoring him for nearly half an hour as the handcuffed and badly injured 29-year-old struggled to stay upright, propped sitting against an unmarked police car. Martin, Haley, and now-fired officer Preston Hemphill claimed Nichols was driving recklessly before they stopped him as he was heading home from a park the evening of Jan. 7.
