Memphis Police Department Dismisses Five Officers Following Investigation into Death of Tyre Nichols

Five Memphis Police officers have been fired following an internal investigation into the death of Tyre Nichols, a Black driver who died three days after a traffic stop earlier this month. The investigation determined that the officers had violated multiple department policies, including excessive use of force, duty to intervene, and duty to render aid. The MPD has also announced that it will be conducting a review of its policies and procedures to ensure that similar incidents do not occur in the future.
