Four of the five Memphis Police officers charged in the death of Tyre Nichols have been released on a combined $1million bond after yesterday being arrested.
Justin Smith, Desmond Mills Jr, Emmitt Martin III and Tadarrius Bean have all now been released from Shelby County Jail, according to court records.
A fifth office, Demetrius Haley is still in jail with a $350,000 bond, with all five charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault, two counts of aggravated kidnapping, two counts of official misconduct, and official oppression.
Tyre Nichols, 29, died in hospital on January 10, three days after a traffic stop that ended with him being severely injured.
Shelby County District attorney Steve Mutlroy said Tyre was left bloody and bruised after he was pepper sprayed and beaten just yards from his home.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation conducted an independent investigation into the use of force by Memphis cops.
All five were fired last Friday for violation of police, with City officials saying that they were notified on January 15.
It comes as Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn Davis said on CNN that the video of the attack, which is set to be released today, is worse than that of Rodney King.
She added: 'I don't think I've witnessed anything of that nature in my entire career. I was outraged. It was incomprehensible to me. It was that bad.

In Memphis one should probably wear it regularly anyway…
For the sake of perspective, is the half hour of video before the incident available?.....if not the video is out of context......just like rodney king.....and many others I might add.
Let’s see how the RATS treat this one, they can’t blame it on white supremacy.
So we'll see which one of those two statements is at least close to correct. Obviously "defies humanity" warrants life..or maybe even the DP. We will see.
Memphis will burn to the ground. It’s part of the Plan, to pounce upon the exceptional bad to destroy the general good and build a new world on the smoldering ruin of the old.
Woke uber alles.
Ein Volk. Ein Reich. Ein Welt!
I wonder why they decided to release the video at 5pm on a Friday?
Seems like a perfect time to start a riot. Dusk, weekend.
9 am on Monday seems smarter. People who might join the riot decide staying at work is better and some of the anger will wear off by the end of the day.
Buckle up.
Also, are they going to release the entire, complete video beginning with the traffic stop, or just the salacious parts?
Yes,the *entire* video must be released. As was obvious (to those paying attention) with Saint George Floyd the video that was shown a million times didn’t even come close to telling the whole story.
Surely you jest, my FRiend.. d;^)
Well, lets see it. I probably won’t like it because this was a five against one and the perp has no criminal record.
But, until we see for ourselves what happened before and during, we can’t really say.
No white folks anywhere near this, but I am certain they will get blamed.
Raze and rebuild. The New Democrat infrastructure plan…
FFS just release it already. They’ve been hyping it for almost a week. I assume to stoke the outrage.
I used to gamble in Tunica. Always tried to "skirt" Memphis as much as possible.
“Shall I put on my riot gear on?”
There is another hidden reason they are releasing the footage today. The Pelosi cop cam footage is also being release today.
It will show the cops and FBI lied (Paul opened door and was not in danger). The dishonest Paul story will be buried in this story. Also, the Pfizer exec gain of function story will never see the light of day.
“ All five were fired last Friday for violation of police.”
What?
L
“Let’s see how the RATS treat this one, they can’t blame it on white supremacy.”
Sure they can. Those five black cops were so mad because they have been mistreated by whites for so long, so white supremacy is to blame.
Why should any of them be allowed out on bail?? Didn’t every last one of them Take An Oath to Preserve, Protect, Defend or Enforce the Laws andor the Constitution to become a Police Officer?? Taking an “OATH” then Violating said Oath by committing a Criminal Act while in the performance of your duties should preclude your right to post bail for said crimes.
If the video is as bad as they it is, wouldn’t it be better to keep them all LOCKED UP in General Population?
Has CNN digitally lightened the skin of the cops photos yet?
“I wonder why they decided to release the video at 5pm on a Friday?”
Friday afternoon is where all stories are buried. They are releasing the Paul Pelosi video today too.
5pm will go down as one of the dumbest decisions in this issue. After a week of hype that this is the worst thing ever, you wait until it’s dark out to release the tape.
