The move to deactivate the unit, which was originally formed to fight violent street crime, comes just a day after five of its officers were seen brutally beating Tyre Nichols on video. All five of the former officers are being charged with murder and are set to face a judge next month.

Why no riots?
You know just before this the police chief was proud of her unit. Very proud….
Fake news selling propaganda and fear for politics. What a bunch of hypocrites.
Fake news pushing hate and division across America for democrats. They had antifa set up across America hoping to burn America. Luckily law enforcement had other ideas. They are traitors to this country…
The white officer who tazed him is Preston Hemphill. He’s the one that said “I hope they stomp him out”
LOS NAZIS DE AZOV DE RTVE DENUNCIADOS YA POR GENOCIDIO EN LAS CPIS CONSTA.
They need to add more anti gang units not remove them. Thank God I don't reside in Memphis, TN. !
just deactivate the police and let the animals have the city for a while
Deactivate The Memphis Police Department and Fire Chief Davis
George who?
No one said anything about all the WHITE people killed by police violence.
ALL LIVES MATTER
Well this is all very different to the black lives matter deal. Is this because this was all form black police??
Avoid this by not joining Assumption uni. This uni uploaded our voice chatting stolen from our offices for years. We had no idea of taper installation in the teachers office. Violation of the privacy led us to many bloody incidents. Abac never claimed any responsibility.
My heart literally bled as I watched this video. Could it be a deal gone wrong. Did they know or have prior contact with the victim? This confrontation seems personal as if they knew the victim before. The way he was yanked out of the vehicle suggest a personal grievance and the way he was held so he could be knuckled up well on the face seems like they wanted to settle a score with who they considered a “ muthafuvker”. RIP Tyre Nichols. May your family find peace.
I wish cops could patrol around my neighborhood 24/7. crime is out of control across nation.
Let the victim blaming commence.
Cops should just stand down and let blacks do whatever they want. Not worth the hassle anymore.
In cali it's Asians turning on fellow Asians and shooting down each other. Now we got black cops killing a black man. Yall better prepare for the white people turn, they might just start a civil war
Bobc
Swift action calmed protesters
I also hear they have finally removed the coveted but problematic rank of "Scorpion King"
Yo the republican sees that the system is beyond repair????? Defund the police.
So if they're deactivating the unit is violent street crime gone? Another unit will be back.
