A nerdy Black man was beat so badly by Tennessee cops this past week that its said he looked worst than Emmit Til. He's dead now, and cops are refusing to release the body cams because they fear riots. The cops were in an unmarked car, with no uniforms on. Its reported the cops continued to beat him even after he was cuffed.
By all accounts #TyreNichols was a Black, nerdy skateboarder with no connections to crime or even police contact other than driving while Black.
I've included a local article below. Mistake in my first post, body cam footage is now expected to be released soon. Also very notable that the FBI and DOJ are already involved.

The Memphis police have been uncommonly responsive to this latest outrage and have earlier this evening fired the officers involved.
An interesting facet to this story so far, is the fact all officers involved are Black.
Why do we say ALL in ACAB?
Officers Bean, Haley, Martin, Mills and Smith... are demonstrating this clearly.
