The Memphis police chief on Saturday disbanded the unit whose officers beat to death Tyre Nichols.
The five disgraced former Memphis Police Department officers, who are also Black, have been fired and charged with murder and other crimes in Nichols' death three days after the arrest.
Rodney Wells, Nichols' stepfather, said the family would "continue to seek justice" and noted that several other officers failed to render aid, making them "just as culpable as the officers who threw the blows." Some of the questions will focus on what Mills "knew and what he was able to see" and whether his actions "crossed the lines that were crossed by other officers during this incident," Ballin said.
After the first officer roughly pulls Nichols out of the car, Nichols can be heard saying, "I didn't do anything," as a group of officers begins to wrestle him to the ground."You guys are really doing a lot right now," Nichols says. "I'm just trying to go home."Nichols can then be seen running as an officer fires a Taser at him.
The fourth officer then walks over, draws a baton and holds it up at shoulder level as two officers hold Nichols upright, as if he were sitting. Two officers can then be seen atop Nichols on the ground, with a third nearby, for about 40 seconds. Three more officers then run up, and one can be seen kicking Nichols on the ground.
