Tyre Nichols (1993-2023) was an unarmed Black man killed by police in the US on January 7th 2023. This time the Routine Traffic Stop was beyond the pale even for White people. Instead of putting the killer cops on paid leave and demonizing the victim, as is customary in the US, the officers were fired and arrested for murder. Presumably because all five of the officers were Black.
The Memphis police pulled over Nichols supposedly for drunk driving. They pull him out of his car and throw him to the ground. They act like he is resisting arrest and yet he is not. He is trying his best to follow their contradictory orders – the New York Times counted 71 orders in 13 minutes. Then somehow he runs off. Later when they catch up with him they beat him to within an inch of his life with fists, kicks, and nightsticks. His last words were cries for his mother – just 80 feet (24 m) from home. Not only do the officers not offer him any medical attention, neither do the medics for 15 minutes after they show up! The two medics have been suspended pending investigation.
For three days Nichols, hospitalized, wavered between life and death. Then his heart and kidneys gave out and he died, on January 10th. He was 29. His son is 4.
Protests followed.
Scorpion unit: The officers were part of the Scorpion unit. It was Memphis’ street crime unit which violently overpoliced Black neighbourhoods. If you can call their reign of terror policing. SCORPION is short for “Street Crimes Operation to Restore Peace in Our Neighbourhoods.” According to Amber Sherman of Black Lives Matter in Memphis, their behaviour in the Nichols case was “not abnormal”. It is just what got caught on video and made public after street protests.
Memphis Police Chief C.J. Davis is a Black woman. Memphis is 65% Black, its police force 60%. She called the video “heinous, reckless and inhumane”. But Scorpion was her idea. In Atlanta she led Red Dog, a similar unit which was disbanded for police brutality and illegal searches. New York City’s own street crimes unit was disbanded in the wake of the police killing in 1999 of Amadou Diallo, who, armed only with a wallet, was shot at 41 times. Scorpion itself was disbanded on Saturday (January 28th), the day after the Nichols video was made public.
President Biden:
“Like so many, I was outraged and deeply pained to see the horrific video of the beating that resulted in Tyre Nichols’ death. It is yet another painful reminder of the profound fear and trauma, the pain, and the exhaustion that Black and Brown Americans experience every single day.”
He wants Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which Republican senators are blocking.
Was it racist? Benjamin Crump, the lawyer for the Nichols family who specializes in these sort of cases, says police brutality is determined not by the race of the officer but by the race of the citizen. After all, it is not like unarmed White motorists are beaten to death for drunk driving.

Undoubtedly this toxic culture among the police began with White cops, because for a long time only Whites could be cops. And they do act like bullies to their own race, and they do kill innocent White people, too, but not to the same degree. Looked at proportionally to percentage of population, Black Americans and Native Americans are by far more likely than any other races to be killed in police situations like this one.

Black cops aren’t actually more humane, even to other blacks, than White cops. In fact, the stats show they are demonstrably less so. However, no one wants to riot for black on black violence. So there’s that.
Black cops in all black communities globally, including Africa, are not somehow better because they didn’t have contact with Whites. That’s just ridiculous.
There has been a shortage of good cops after the Floyd incident. Who would want to be a cop in a multiracial city after that? Well, you can see who showed up for the job in Memphis. Some may even have or have had gang affiliation.
Ironically, increased “defund the police” and “diversity the police force” (i.e., hire and retain based on skin color, rather than qualifications) initiatives will result in more, not less, of this kind of stuff and way more violence in black communities and black deaths (and they already have in recent years). Of course no one on the left cares about black on black violence and black deaths not involving cops because that doesn’t serve the Narrative.

Lemmy,
Your first comment is self contradictory. The whole point is that the second encounter is when the “egregious and obvious illegal behavior” occurred and no Whites were present. The leftwing commentators Return is referring to aren’t going back to the first encounter to look for a White guy. They are saying the crushing brutality of the second encounter was largely due to “systemic racism” caused by Whites, as if black policing would be more humane had Whites never been involved, as if places in Africa where Whites have been least involved were somehow better in that regard (they aren’t). Trying to bring “systemic racism” (in addition to police brutality, which is certainly relevant) into the discussion is obviously a dishonest, self-serving attempt to advance the Narrative. The family brought in Al Sharpton to shill for more regulations on police–which, based on what we’ve observed in the past, will almost certainly result in less active policing and many more deaths of young black men. Why are the 1000+ excess black deaths annually since the Floyd incident worth so much less than the ~10 unarmed blacks killed by police every year?
Incidentally, from the limited info I’ve seen, Tyre seems like he was a good guy–thoughtful, creative and friendly with no rap sheet. He apparently was a man of faith, so hopefully he’s in a better place now. I caught part of the second encounter and felt disgusted, as it looked like a gang execution. However, it should be said that “resisting arrest” in all its various forms almost never leads to good results, especially a young male running from the cops. That’s true regardless of skin color. More qualified/better trained cops would likely would have handled the situation more professionally, especially not giving the obviously retaliatory, heart wrenching beatdown that did Tyre in. No one is making the argument that they were plausibly acting in self defense.

If we look at this incident as a window into the dynamics of power harassment rather than racism then a wider conversation can open up? In our government systems power is concentrated in the nation-state—both police and law are in the hands of the nation-state. There are no checks/balance system to prevent and rectify abuse of power (power harassment).
What our civic systems need are opposing/alternative power centers that act as checks/balances when abuses by the nation-state occur. Not just in policing and law, but also in economics (unfair taxes…or other economic policies) and in socio-cultural “norms” (lgbt..etc marriage, abortion, homelessness…etc)
When people organize and demand change—it can happen but the pace is slow and systemic resistance high.

Cherry Boy, you are looking to pick fights with “devils”? Is that your synonym for Whites? What kind of response do you want? Why the White (thanks for capitalizing it) officer wasn’t charged?

Maybe you can try “character assassinating” Tyre after doing some research on him, seeing what other people say about him, checking out his photography site and watching his skateboard video. He didn’t break into a pregnant woman’s home and hold her at gunpoint as far as I know. I mean if you can find that he did something like that, you’re a super sleuth and I might revise my positive opinion of him.
This “White Supremacy” crap gets old and it’s more and more ridiculous. Instead, ask yourself who controls the elite Whites? Do you think it is Protestant Christians? Is that really the voice controlling the megaphone? Is that really the direction the country seems to be moving in to you?
