Civil rights attorney Ben Crump says the investigation and action Memphis took in the wake of the death of Tyre Nichols should be how all cases involving police brutality are handled.
— but he says the investigation and action Memphis took in the wake of the death of Tyre Nichols should be how all cases involving police brutality are handled., whose death earlier this month has led to nationwide outrage and protests.
Five former Memphis police officers were charged with second-degree murder and kidnapping in the death of Tyre Nichols after a traffic stop in January 2023. Crump believes that the timeline of the investigation should be the"blueprint going forward" for all cases involving police brutality. "The police chief said it was important that the community saw swift action and that they moved swiftly to justice.
Crump said that the video also shows other members of law enforcement and the Memphis Fire Department should be"held accountable" as well after failing to intervene to help Nichols. According to a department statement, two Memphis Fire Department personnel have been temporarily"relieved of duty" in connection to the incident while an internal investigation is conducted.
