Five former Memphis police officers were charged with second-degree murder on Thursday in connection with the death of Tyre Nichols, a Black driver who was severely beaten during a traffic stop in January. The officers were fired after an internal investigation and are now facing criminal charges, sparking outrage across the country. The family of Nichols claims he fled the scene after being pulled over, fearing for his life, and the officers then caught up to him and beat him for three minutes.
