Police Brutality
Seven sheriff's deputies and three staff from a state hospital have been charged with murder in the death of Irvo Otieno, 28.
The Memphis police supervisor on scene when Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by officers retired with his benefits the day before a hearing to fire him.
Seven deputies pinned Irvo Otieno to the floor of a mental institution while he was shackled and handcuffed, prosecutors and the family's attorneys say.
The review will examine the use of specialized units around the country and produce a guide for police chiefs and mayors on their use, according to the announcement.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
A grand jury announced there would be no charges against the officer who fired eight shots at 15-year-old Jaheim McMillan.
The officers were fired after an internal Memphis Police Department investigation into the Jan. 7 arrest of Nichols, who died in a hospital three days later.
Long before the death of Tyre Nichols, cops were killing Black people in Memphis — and their loved ones want justice, too.
Monterrious Harris, 22, said the same five officers unlawfully roughed up and arrested him on false charges only three days before Nichols' fatal traffic stop.
A new report says one of the officers involved in Nichols arrest and beating took a picture of the man as he was bloodied and handcuffed.
The child's father filed a federal lawsuit alleging "unreasonable and unlawful use of force" following last year's incident in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
