Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy announced murder charges for five former Memphis police officers in connection with the death of Tyre Nichols. The officers were charged with second-degree murder, three counts of official misconduct, two counts of aggravated kidnapping and one count of acting in concert to commit aggravated assault. “We need to show the world what lessons we can learn from this tragedy,” said Mulroy.

Its funny how he said the meeting with the family went well when the family has clearly stated Murder 1 is the only thing they will consider justice. How well do you think that meeting actually went?
✊🏿 free the black cops BLM ✊🏾 Free the Black cops! They did the right thing! Black Lives Matter! Free the cops!
✊🏿 free the black cops BLM ✊🏾 Free the Black cops! They did the right thing! Black Lives Matter!
So the 5 Memphis black men with clean enough records to become cops just got fired and are charged with murder for doing their jobs? Good luck keeping anyone one on the job now. Going to be importing Turd Worlders to be cops. Just in from the latest geocide/ethnic cleansing/Civil War? Have we got a great deal for you! Amnesty and a Badge!
People who saying race has nothing to do with it are dumb. This another race ritual on Blacks. Definitely not as fast if cops were white. Idc what any of you say.
My deepest sympathy goes out to this man's family and friends.
Why weren't they cops white?
I'm sure there are several people, democratic officials and many other groups including the biased main stream media groups, that are upset even disappointed that these officers weren't white, in fact not one white officer among the five that were arrested were white.
No white cops, That could be the reason why this has not made national news headlines like the George Floyd case did.
Now they can't use the race card and also somehow use it to be connect to former President Trump.
Memphis is such a third world shithole.
How come Black Lives Matter isn't rioting over this like did over George Floyd when it was one white cop?
Look at Memphis getting those riots under control before they start. Kudos on being proactive.
Rest in Peace young man….. Hopefully, something changes , so that your death might not be in vain… May your memory live on forever with your loved ones and friends. You left this world too soon…..
They want to give everybody a chance to get home and lock themselves in their homes , before they send out the video… It MUST be bad , cuz they're telling us already , it's gonna cause riots…..
Funny thing though…. It was 5 black cops , so they can't claim " systematic racism "…..What will they blame it on this time…..?
Guess they didn't believe in BLM….. 🤔🤷♂️
Get the naggers out of law enforcement.
The justice, oh the justice
Another doped up Black thug gone Good Riddance
Violent culture
BURN LOOT BLM NEEDS $$$$ WHERE'S SHARPTON
NBC’s talking heads must be extremely disappointed that they’re four black officers and not four white supremacists!
Will they get bail ?.
Does anyone know if they ever posted the bodycam footage?
Because they were police officers Is it still a black on black crime ?
Or blue on black
Thank you for going after the bad cops
It looks like Mayor Strickland, Chief Davis and District Attorney Mulroy had the good sense to allow prosecutions to go forward.
Example time time five.Yup.:+)
If those cops had been white they wouldn't have been charged with anything
