Tyre Nichols autopsy reveals brain injuries after police beating

Al Jazeera  

Five police officers in Memphis, Tennessee, have been charged with second-degree murder in Nichols’s death in January. An autopsy report released in the United States has shown that Tyre Nichols died of blunt force injuries to the head after he was beaten by police in Memphis, Tennessee, during a January arrest. An officer shot at Nichols with a stun gun, but Nichols ran away, towards his nearby home, according to video footage released by the city of Memphis and other police records. Nichols’s family, their lawyers, community leaders and activists have called for changes within the Memphis Police Department concerning issues related to traffic stops, use of force, improving transparency and other policies.
