Two officers were then able to handcuff Tyre with his hands behind his back while another officer is seen brutally punching Tyre 5 times with a closed fist.
The cops then put him against a police cruiser as he could be seen struggling and could barely stand on his feet in pain.
As per reports, 5 Memphis PD officers, all Black officers, stopped Tyre on Jan 7 for ‘reckless driving.’
But things were ‘aggressive and violent’ from the start as per reports, and it’s still being investigated as to WHY the encounter became BRUTAL that fast.
The 5 officers involved in the investigation have been as identified as Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmit Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr., and Justin Smith — and they’ve all been FIRED and charged with second-degree murder.
They face additional charges of official misconduct, official oppression and aggravated kidnapping.
Tyre Nichols’ was rushed to the hospital after the brutal beating at the hands of the 5 officers. He complained of shortness of breath and was admitted in critical condition.
Tyre died at the hospital 3 days later.
