"Revealed: New Footage and Testimony Shed Light on Tyre Nichols' Fatal Beating"

Newly released video and audio recordings shed light on the actions and comments of first responders, including the five fired police officers charged in the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols in Memphis. The recordings reveal officers' fixation on the idea that Nichols was high on drugs, despite later autopsy findings showing only low levels of alcohol and THC in his system. The material also captures officers' statements about the traffic stop, their interactions with Nichols' family, and their reactions to the absence of drugs in his car. The case has sparked outrage and calls for police reform, leading to federal and state charges against the officers involved and ongoing investigations into the Memphis Police Department's use of force and racially discriminatory policing.
