Tyre Nichols’s family sued the city of Memphis, the Memphis police chief, seven individual police officers and three Memphis Fire Department officials on Wednesday, describing the fatal beating of the 29-year-old at the hands of police as a “modern-day lynch mob.”

“Tyre’s condition in the hospital can be likened to that of Emmitt Till who was also beaten unrecognizable by a lynch mob,” renowned civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing Nichols’s family, said in a statement announcing the suit.

I think they know the officers involved in the beating were black, and they don’t care.

That was a strange and barbaric case of murder, plain and simple. There was no way to justify it.

Plenty of white KKK Democrats lynched white Republicans back in the day, so I suppose it is possible.

The lying media should be sued for twisting these articles to make it appear to be a racist event, caused by white cops.

“Black LEOs. Lynch mob? HUH?”

While they probably never teach this in schools, there were in fact black lynch mobs too.

“Tyre Nichols’s family sued the city of Memphis...describing the fatal beating of the 29-year-old at the hands of police as a ‘modern-day lynch mob.’ “

Pretty accurate description from everything we’ve seen.

Tyre Nichols police video: Memphis Police body cam footage - All 4 videos 22 min.
Video appears to show Tyre Nichols being beaten by multiple Memphis officers
Pole camera, At 32 sec. while he was on the ground held by two officers another kicked Nochols in the face.

Instead of giving him a ticket, they pulled him from his car and beat him to death.
Those cops are all going away for murder.

Did I read somewhere that the guy who was beaten had been involved with the wife of one of the cops...and that was said to be part of the reason for the beating. Did anyone else hear this?
