The Memphis police department is declining to answer if the 6th officers is on paid or unpaid leave is very telling, he likely got paid, but he really should be fired and arrested just like the other 5.
Hopefully more information will be clear during the trial because there definitely is more to this stop than initially reported. The ex-girlfriend, of one officer, working at FedEx, that same officer sending her pictures of his beaten body and the way they were aggressive from the start are all serious questions that must be answered.
He makes a good point in that some of those other investigations should not be taking 6 months to a year. Those are stall tactics to get the public to forget what happened.
As a black American this government always pointing fingers at how other countries treat their citizens but look how they treat black Americans shyt been going on over 400 years now ain’t shyt change. We get these black politicians in office and they don’t do shyt but sell us out for ah check 👈🏾🇺🇸
I thought that same thing when I saw these officers. They were standing around, talking and laughing while Tyre is laying in the ground suffering. They acted like they KNEW there wouldn't be ANY consequences for what they did. I mean they had all the "right" elements he "ran", he "resisted". These are the things cops will continually say when using EXCESSIVE force and nothing happens to them.. This was NOT the first time for any of them. You always hear cops yelling quit resisting, give me your hands after they already have someone in cuffs. They do that to justify the damage they do.
@@ninadaly7639 he ran bc he was trying to save himself. He realized these cops were on another level & his survival instinct flight or fight kicked in. It’s only natural & I know I would have done the same if I was able to get away.

Go get him Ben. I believe in capital punishment these videos that were released to the public to view I began to watch and started to cry. I couldn't even watch him no more how disgraceful and disgusting it was and vile. These five officers should be put into the street and done to them as they did to this poor young man. The video speaks for itself. There should be no trial, no jury.
How does a traffic stop turn into a murder ? This is completely unacceptable. I’m an elderly white woman, but we should all be outraged, and horrified by this. The police department needs to stop trying to cover this up. This was first degree murder, and one of the perpetrators hasn’t been relieved of duty yet, that needs to happen asap. They need to be arrested not just relieved of duty.
They intended to delete the video. That’s why they kept shouting ‘Get on the ground.’ They were gonna keep the audio stream and lose the video. That was their plan.

We had a squad in my country we called the Black Clothes Squad.. The entire country was of the opinion that they were on the payroll of the drug barons and w were doing assassinations for them. Our streets ran red for years, until a band of gunmen got together and started to lay seize to police stations and started taking them out. Our stations had sandbags and barriers around them windows boarded up. Police officers were afraid to go to work . Many quit. Eventually most of the squad and gunmen offed each other. Now it's back to police walking the streets without guns or flak jackets . Lesson learned. The badge don't make them bullet proof. I believe sometimes these police officers need to be reminded that bullets affects their bodies just as it does others. Also ,all these other police officers that have been killed in the last year, needs to be investigated to make sure its not the person who was supposed to be watching their six,who took them out for not wanting to go along.

Secondly, it's not police policy to draw weapons and tasers at the outset of a traffic stop. Thirdly, elite police units are usually not formed to do routine traffic stops. Next time y'all wanna make an attempt at satire at least be clever or humorous, not stupid.
Where are the body cams of those 5 black cops from the initial traffic stop? We got only one from the white cop, but I didn't see the other 5 to see their first move and interaction before the white cop showed up. No one is not asking that? Is it just me? Either the department doesn't want to show it because they know what time it is, OR cops continue to turn off body cams as they please, and the department is allowing it.
You are the only one that’s on point! The video was edited where the two jumped out. They did not show the initial stop, or when caught him. Sad to say, but this is designed to cause racial tensions because it’s election time, simple as that
You answered your own question. If not for the pole camera, they would’ve gotten away with it because majority of them had ‘forgot to turn it on’, dropped it or intentionally blocked the viewing angle.
This is a classic example of why we need to get rid of "Qualified Immunity". The officers are not afraid of hurting & killing people because of this idiotic policy. Officers need to PAY DEARLY when they do wrong. And stop the police union from getting new jobs for officers who are fired.

Idea of a traffic stop makes their lie implode on itself. Everyone knows what happens on a traffic stop. You get pulled over and the officer politely asked for your driver's license and vehicle registration.
That's what is supposed to happen but as I found out from our local small town cop in 2004, driving 2 mph over the speed limit was cause for unprofessional conduct. This officer was worked up before I came along. Our police chief dismissed the report. Come to find out (small town dynamic) his wife was leaving and he was from LAPD. Hum? He's working for another PD. Hum....
I believe one of the officers had a grudge to settle with Mr Nicolas... For example if one of the cops has been looking for him because Nicolas may have been involved an altercation with one of their family members. This beating is way more than any thing that can come out of a traffic stop.
Many people who live in large cities know these "scorpion" type units do not need a reason to pull you over, they just do, and you better not ask why you are being stopped.
Yes I have experienced these "jump out boys" in Miami..they were violating my rights all over the place and the police report was literally lies from top to bottom. They "somehow" feel that they don't have to answer to anyone and are above the law...wonder what or who gives them that idea?
@@lisacundiff8029 Exactly, I live in Detroit and have experienced the same with Detroit " gang squad" which was disbanded for being abusive, stealing drugs and money from people and costing taxpayers millions in lawsuits, they were so out of control here they are on camera fighting each other 🤦🏾♂️, they even raided one of their own drug decoy houses. Seriously search TH-cam for " Detroit police raid Detroit police" 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😂😂☠️☠️
I always ask officer why did you stop me. I was tooken to jail over a traffic stop. Police was very aggressive I filed a complaint with Internal affairs. Officer was placed on motorcycle duty. I then tried to sue the department covered it up. The cop was Mexican it does not matter the color of the cop. Blue is their color and some do not abide by the law.
The chief of the Memphis police holds no honor. She knew how that department acted. She could have fired the 5 quickly, but was too scared to fire the other white officers that was on the scene.
Left Tyre sitting up against the car like a limp ragdoll... they're just standing around not going near him; yapping nonsense. It looked like even more of these rogue cops joined them, doing nothing. 11 minutes from EMT'S to arrive, it felt like forever. Which makes me wonder what all they told the dispatcher about Tyre's condition and what happened--in their words. This travesty stinks from the very beginning.
I think it was 22 minutes for the EMTs to arrive. Also, I've seen people get pepper sprayed and then a cop would come and pour water on their face to help clear things up. They sprayed him sooo much and nobody checked or helped him at all. Disgusting...
@@ImaJiveTurkey 22 minutes???🤨🤔oh man, something was up with that too. And the pepper spray, that's right. And they wouldn't let his mom and dad into the hospital to see their son because "he's under arrest". For what, Mrs. Wells asked. They said something about a DUI. The stench of all this is surreal.
Officers need to be taught professional English. There should be no gang lingo or discussions that do not contain professional clear use of the English language. When I watched it I could not understand one word of what the said. I only learned 2nd hand from news networks. Uneducated unprofessional gang like.
They need to be trained in how to safely interact with the Police. In the vast majority of these police killings the dead person would be alive today if they would have just complied.
@@fauxque5057People in Europe, regardless of their skin color, not always comply with police instructions. Now stop licking that boot and use your brain for a second.
They should be pulling body cam video on every interaction these officers have had with people, including the man roughed up & had a gun held to his head just days before. I'll bet every officer in the unit would be fired and found guilty of using excessive force and other crimes. That would show a pattern and practice.
Andrea, they responded quickly only because they don't want riots that burn the city to the ground. Don't think for a second that they reacted quickly out of the goodness of their rotten heart.
🙏Thank you. Now someone talking. From the whole video, something was not just right. Never in the history of any of such cases have one seen police officers will stop a car, immediately open the door and pull the driver like thugs. No question for documents, convo, nothing. Said from the first day who ever paid them will be very disappointed because they left a lot of traces for analysis. One could tell they knew about bodycam just from their body language. The boy was just an unfortunate victim. Every trace to cause disunity among the people will fail. What is coming is inevitable.
Something is missing from all this. Why would they just walk up and open the door. Aren’t they scared that he might have a gun. And why aren’t we getting the recording of the actual dispatch call.
The city council lowered police applicant standards to include people with criminal records. That wasn't a police department decision. The results when equity is more important than having qualified people
I said what crump said they have done it before, it was the culture of the unit, and the police chief knew, they are other complaints, fire the chief yes she terminated and dismantled the unit quickly, but she knew what was going on, they were very comfortable beating Tyre.
Ms Andrea Mitchell, thank you for such a sensitive interview. So often in the past few wanted to hear and understand just how painfully tragic and traumatizing these "death by cop" situations are to the Black community. I'm so proud of the family. They're just like the majority of Black families who are just trying to live peaceful lives like everyone else. We appreciate your graciousness. Blessings 🕊
These cops didn't invent this type of illegal and brutal policing, THEY WERE TRAINED TO DO THIS BY SOME SENIOR COP DURING THEIR ON THE JOB TRAINING. Those senior cops will train the replacements for these murderers IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.
Benjamin Crump ask Officer Demetrius Haley does his ex work at Fed Ex with Tyre Nichols. And you'll get your answers to why this happened to Tyre Nichols
We were told that the needed reform was prejudiced hiring, of only black officers. That plan worked so well. Maybe, instead of pretending the problem is the police, a more honest approach is neeeded.
We are seeing the results of police reform. We have had police reform for the last 20 years. We have had cities take extraordinary action to increase diversity in an order to do so they have needed to reduce standards. We see this taking shape now, in many of our progressive cities, such as Minneapolis, Ferguson, Detroit, New York City, and other major progressive cities. This police reform is now playing out before our very eyes, and we are seeing the results.
This is definitely a cover up. One of the cops or all of them had to have known Tyre Nichols and for whatever reason he crossed those cops the wrong way.
I saw a video from NM I think, where they were threatening a guy to yank him out the car. My man patted the pistol on his lap, and said, "Go ahead. We'll have a shootout right here on the side of the highway..." He never got out the car.
It should be illegal for Police to order someone to get on the ground. They are abusing this unnecessarily to demean and escalate encounters all the time or to simply handcuff complaint people that wouldn't resist being cuffed while standing.

The EMT, the County sheriff's and the other guy in tennis shoes/plain clothes. Everyone on the videos. Please verify the FedEx rumor abt officer Mills ex-wife.
Its true they were also pointing their bodycams away from what was going on while saying put your hands behind your back while his hands are already on his back these cops are bad everything they did was calculated to cover their butts
Thank You Attorney Crump. They could have stalked him around town all night until 6am 🕕. I think multiple videos around 5-10 mile radius. Why involved with a skateboarder?
I wonder if they thought he was someone else that they were looking for. Regardless, this is absolutely tragic and everyone at that scene, fire fighters, EMTs, officers needs to be fired and charged for leaving him sitting, dying without aid for 15 minutes.
Qualified immunity is a judge-created rule that protects government officials, including police officers, when they are sued. Unbelievable. Thanks for videos.
There are a lot of layers of this onion to peel back. As those layers are peeled away, I'm afraid none of the new information will reveal anything that restores any faith in the US policing system.
Yep..alot of "routine" traffic stops are just a cover to harass, and violate peoples rights (especially if they're bored (also to meet quotas and make city revenue).

Yes I have experienced these "jump out boys" in Miami..they were violating my rights all over the place and the police report was literally lies from top to bottom. They "somehow" feel that they don't have to answer to anyone and are above the law...wonder what or who gives them that idea?
@@lisacundiff8029 Exactly, I live in Detroit and have experienced the same with Detroit " gang squad" which was disbanded for being abusive, stealing drugs and money from people and costing taxpayers millions in lawsuits, they were so out of control here they are on camera fighting each other 🤦🏾♂️, they even raided one of their own drug decoy houses. Seriously search TH-cam for " Detroit police raid Detroit police" 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😂😂☠️☠️
I always ask officer why did you stop me. I was tooken to jail over a traffic stop. Police was very aggressive I filed a complaint with Internal affairs. Officer was placed on motorcycle duty. I then tried to sue the department covered it up. The cop was Mexican it does not matter the color of the cop. Blue is their color and some do not abide by the law.
And they say it's the white man I should fear. But it's my own kind doin' all the killin' here 2Pac
Keep celebrating the deaths of non white Americans
@@NYC_LIBERAL Who's celebrating? Go spread your Liberal Hate somewhere else.
So we're talking about corrupt cop's here,how are we going to find them?just call the police station it doesn't matter who pick up...
@@lillianmatthew3880
EXACTLY!
Go back to FoxNews, to spread your hatred for nonwhites.

The chief of the Memphis police holds no honor. She knew how that department acted. She could have fired the 5 quickly, but was too scared to fire the other white officers that was on the scene.
Left Tyre sitting up against the car like a limp ragdoll... they're just standing around not going near him; yapping nonsense. It looked like even more of these rogue cops joined them, doing nothing. 11 minutes from EMT'S to arrive, it felt like forever. Which makes me wonder what all they told the dispatcher about Tyre's condition and what happened--in their words. This travesty stinks from the very beginning.
I think it was 22 minutes for the EMTs to arrive. Also, I've seen people get pepper sprayed and then a cop would come and pour water on their face to help clear things up. They sprayed him sooo much and nobody checked or helped him at all. Disgusting...
@@ImaJiveTurkey 22 minutes???🤨🤔oh man, something was up with that too. And the pepper spray, that's right. And they wouldn't let his mom and dad into the hospital to see their son because "he's under arrest". For what, Mrs. Wells asked. They said something about a DUI. The stench of all this is surreal.
@@leticiabromley6013 Wow
Officers need to be taught professional English. There should be no gang lingo or discussions that do not contain professional clear use of the English language. When I watched it I could not understand one word of what the said. I only learned 2nd hand from news networks. Uneducated unprofessional gang like.
Black community needs to be reformed.
They need to be trained in how to safely interact with the Police. In the vast majority of these police killings the dead person would be alive today if they would have just complied.
Let's go Randall
@@fauxque5057 Cops need to follow protocol, now they're heading to prison because they didn't follow protocol.
@@fauxque5057People in Europe, regardless of their skin color, not always comply with police instructions. Now stop licking that boot and use your brain for a second.
White police needs to be reform since they are responsible for more Unarmed Black deaths
Overkill indicates something personal, my opinion
no evidence of this being personal.
Not in the blk community, any reason is good enough!🤷🏽♀️
They should be pulling body cam video on every interaction these officers have had with people, including the man roughed up & had a gun held to his head just days before. I'll bet every officer in the unit would be fired and found guilty of using excessive force and other crimes.
That would show a pattern and practice.
Unfortunately, there are probably "missing" body cam videos aka..they turned them off..but they should dig deep for the ones they forgot to shut off.
Andrea, they responded quickly only because they don't want riots that burn the city to the ground. Don't think for a second that they reacted quickly out of the goodness of their rotten heart.
They should grade the charges as capital murder and seek the death penalty.
Great interview please keep digging for the truth in this matter.
The officers in this scandals should b given a high bond in court so that they can remain in prison
IKR
Hopefully no bond at all
I would like to see those 5 Cops faces when they were arrested. Show those videos will you please!
9:33
Don't worry in jail they will face real justice.
I want to see the looks on their faces when the big boys in the pen find out who they are and what they did 😁
🙏Thank you. Now someone talking. From the whole video, something was not just right. Never in the history of any of such cases have one seen police officers will stop a car, immediately open the door and pull the driver like thugs. No question for documents, convo, nothing. Said from the first day who ever paid them will be very disappointed because they left a lot of traces for analysis. One could tell they knew about bodycam just from their body language. The boy was just an unfortunate victim. Every trace to cause disunity among the people will fail. What is coming is inevitable.
Wow… plus the EMT’s did not go straight to his aid they were standing around also.
He was at a stop sign with his blinker on to turn to his block .
They are all connected in the institutional police culture. This is a gang, not professionals, but a gang.
How many other victims will come forward now that the spotlight is out.
Something is missing from all this. Why would they just walk up and open the door. Aren’t they scared that he might have a gun.
And why aren’t we getting the recording of the actual dispatch call.
When it's civilians they say anybody involved at all is just as guilty.
The city council lowered police applicant standards to include people with criminal records. That wasn't a police department decision.
The results when equity is more important than having qualified people

@@colinl5951 In your dreams...
I said what crump said they have done it before, it was the culture of the unit, and the police chief knew, they are other complaints, fire the chief yes she terminated and dismantled the unit quickly, but she knew what was going on, they were very comfortable beating Tyre.
I think he purposely ran by the overhead camera so this could be recorded!
My thoughts exactly
I once watched a program about Crump he’s a great man..So glad the family have him representing them..Love from Leeds England 💟
Love from london
Sorry pal never heard of the place 😂
Their behavior suggests an intended outcome prior to any event taking place.
Tyre Can’t Go Home No Bond And Grace Given to Him🫡Death Penalty to His Killers😅Silent Participants
Ms Andrea Mitchell, thank you for such a sensitive interview. So often in the past few wanted to hear and understand just how painfully tragic and traumatizing these "death by cop" situations are to the Black community. I'm so proud of the family. They're just like the majority of Black families who are just trying to live peaceful lives like everyone else. We appreciate your graciousness. Blessings 🕊
Yes but they have traumatized some so bad they are subconsciously living in fear
These cops didn't invent this type of illegal and brutal policing, THEY WERE TRAINED TO DO THIS BY SOME SENIOR COP DURING THEIR ON THE JOB TRAINING. Those senior cops will train the replacements for these murderers IN EXACTLY THE SAME WAY.
This was not police training. This was gang activity.
He's their witness they will offer him immunity against the Brothers with no jail time.
💯 correct
Benjamin Crump ask Officer Demetrius Haley does his ex work at Fed Ex with Tyre Nichols. And you'll get your answers to why this happened to Tyre Nichols
Yes fire everyone that was on the scene period and revoke the license or certificate
Policemen using cursing and profanity should be an immediate firing. Who in authority does that ?
⚖️JUSTICE MATTERS, Police Reform should be addressed on the FEDERAL, NATIONAL and STATE LEVELS. Updated legislative US laws are needed.
He r u n o f t
We were told that the needed reform was prejudiced hiring, of only black officers. That plan worked so well. Maybe, instead of pretending the problem is the police, a more honest approach is neeeded.
We are seeing the results of police reform. We have had police reform for the last 20 years. We have had cities take extraordinary action to increase diversity in an order to do so they have needed to reduce standards. We see this taking shape now, in many of our progressive cities, such as Minneapolis, Ferguson, Detroit, New York City, and other major progressive cities. This police reform is now playing out before our very eyes, and we are seeing the results.
@@t.r.campbell6585 "Reform???" Never happened...
Educate your children on the dangers of
"Obstinate Blackism"...👈🤔..
It may save their life...
All this Black on Black crime has to stop enough already.
What power do you get from beating a man to death ?
Jail Time with dudes bigger than them and harder than them. I'll wait.
They are physcopaths.
This looks like personal. They did not identify themselves or explained why they are stopping. They just pulled him out violently.
I knew they were going to try to pin Whitey somehow!!! So predictable
This is definitely a cover up. One of the cops or all of them had to have known Tyre Nichols and for whatever reason he crossed those cops the wrong way.
no evidence to support this theory at this point.
Yup...
Yeah he’s a black man! 🤷🏽♀️
Why make this a black and white issue. When you see who did the beating.
This happens all the time in Albuquerque, NM. ALL THE TIME!
Stop it now.
I saw a video from NM I think, where they were threatening a guy to yank him out the car. My man patted the pistol on his lap, and said, "Go ahead. We'll have a shootout right here on the side of the highway..."
He never got out the car.
It happens everywhere
Andrea. The parents are in shock 😢
It should be illegal for Police to order someone to get on the ground. They are abusing this unnecessarily to demean and escalate encounters all the time or to simply handcuff complaint people that wouldn't resist being cuffed while standing.
The police unit's rapid response speaks volumes. Everyone knows what is really going on here.
Create problem.. complain about problem.. repeat 🙄
The Video Speaks For Itself For These Street Thugs
WHAT GREATER GOOD? BARBARIC, SAVAGE,INHUMAN ,UNPROVOKED SENSLESS CRIME.WE LOST OUR BROTHER FOR NO GOOD REASON AT ALL. OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO YOU, THE COMMUNITY, AND YOUR FAMILY!!!
it's not the Worst Police Beating!, but, the only one I've seen?, first hand!, on my Couch!, LIFE FOR ALL!, on scene!.
When these beatings happen nothing ever happens to there bosses if they didn't know they should have otherwise there just as guilty
when your leader your supposed to lead
Brutal animals. His mother is beyond gracious.
Love Ben Crump 💙 He has helped 100's of families..probably more! He's genuine and has a good heart! Justice for Tyre Nichols!✊🏼
The EMT, the County sheriff's and the other guy in tennis shoes/plain clothes. Everyone on the videos. Please verify the FedEx rumor abt officer Mills ex-wife.
American law is a deadly tragedy.
Its true they were also pointing their bodycams away from what was going on while saying put your hands behind your back while his hands are already on his back these cops are bad everything they did was calculated to cover their butts
This man would make a good President for America in the future..!!
The Memphis police commanders need
To be fired starting with the chief
Thank You Attorney Crump. They could have stalked him around town all night until 6am 🕕. I think multiple videos around 5-10 mile radius. Why involved with a skateboarder?
I wonder if they thought he was someone else that they were looking for. Regardless, this is absolutely tragic and everyone at that scene, fire fighters, EMTs, officers needs to be fired and charged for leaving him sitting, dying without aid for 15 minutes.
There is no indication that they thought he was someone else.
Why is there no recording of the “traffic stop”
The way they murdered him, something else was going on it seems, that was viscious
No excuses
Qualified immunity is a judge-created rule that protects government officials, including police officers, when they are sued. Unbelievable. Thanks for videos.
The whole force needs to go…
Grace, and Mercy from God to Tyre's mom.
Is it true that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has offered to pay these officers legal fees?
There are a lot of layers of this onion to peel back. As those layers are peeled away, I'm afraid none of the new information will reveal anything that restores any faith in the US policing system.
I saw a comment on another youtube channel which said," routine traffic stops should be banned, seems like a good idea.
Yep
Yep..alot of "routine" traffic stops are just a cover to harass, and violate peoples rights (especially if they're bored (also to meet quotas and make city revenue).
@@lisacundiff8029 yep
A gang hit. Planned out.
If it wasn't for the pole cameras, they would have gotten away with it. Those cops were lying to each other's body cam. To cover-up this murder.
And they do it all the time and the jurors, just automatically believe the police officers lies.
Tyre's parents are stoic. Seeing his mom be strong like that makes me all the more furious!! She shouldn't have to be...
I agree because I would be unconsolable.
