4 ex-cops charged in Tyre Nichols' death decertified from police work.

Three former Memphis police officers charged with murder in the beating death of Tyre Nichols have been decertified by the Tennessee Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission, preventing them from working at other Tennessee law enforcement agencies. The fourth officer surrendered his certification. The officers were found to be in violation of personal conduct, truthfulness, neglect of duty, excessive unnecessary force, and other violations. Three other former officers investigated in Nichols' death will have decertification hearings at a later date.

Former Memphis police officers charged in Tyre Nichols' death decertified by Tennessee commission.

Three former Memphis police officers involved in the death of Tyre Nichols have been officially decertified by the Tennessee Peace Officer Standards and Training Commission, meaning they can no longer work in law enforcement in the state. The decision comes almost two months after the officers were charged with second-degree murder in Nichols' death. The officers were terminated from the Memphis Police Department in January after Nichols was repeatedly punched and kicked by police officers following a traffic stop and brief foot chase.
