Tyre Nichols was a 'good kid' who enjoyed skateboarding ... (CNN)

Tyre Nichols was a father, a man who loved his mama and a free-spirited soul who was looking for a new life in Memphis, Tennessee.

“Tyre was someone who knew everyone, and everyone had a positive image of him because that’s who he was,” Paxton said. He had such a free spirit and skating gave him his wings,” Paxton said. He was such a light. He grinds the rail and does tricks on his board in the video, which was shown at a news conference by his family’s attorney Crump. “He was such an innocent person. He was a “good boy” who spent his Sundays doing laundry and getting ready for the week, his mother, Ravaughn Wells, said. He said he’s had to do a lot of compartmentalizing to be able to even speak about his friend. “To speak about someone’s soul is very deep,” he said. When he wasn’t working, Nichols headed to Shelby Farms Park to skateboard, something he had been doing since he was 6 years old. “Nobody’s perfect OK, but he was damn near.” Spates’ favorite memory of Ty, as he called Nichols, was last year on Spates’ birthday, when Nichols met Spates’ wife and 3-year-old at their usual Starbucks. Nichols moved to Memphis right before the Covid-19 pandemic and got stuck there when things shut down, his mother said.

Video of the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols, who died three days after a traffic stop by police, is set to be released by Memphis officials Friday evening.

"Like so many, I was outraged and deeply pained to see the horrific video of the beating that resulted in Tyre Nichols’ death," Biden said. After the videos were released, Biden said in a statement that he was outraged. While he’s down, one officer kicks Nichols in the head and then another beats him with a baton, the video shows. He can be seen in the video rolling around on the street as officers talked nearby. “I expect you to feel what the Nichols family feels,” she said. He is able to get up and runs, with an officer firing a Taser at him, the video shows. Details about what occurred between Nichols and the officers have been sparse; police initially said Nichols ran during the reckless driving stop and that a "confrontation" occurred in an effort to detain him. In some of the videos, the license plates of vehicles parked in the area are blurred, but the faces of the people involved in the encounter are not. On Friday night, after the videos were released, two Shelby County sheriff's deputies who appeared on the scene were relieved of duty pending the outcome of an investigation. The videos depicted Nichols being punched, struck with a baton, kicked in the face, and sprayed with an irritant. A video of the initial traffic stop shows a chaotic scene as officers yank Nichols from the car, shout commands over each other, and at times threaten him. When the camera view pans over, the video shows Nichols on the ground.

The Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C. "And we have to call out this culture every time we get a chance." We won't have Black officers treated differently than white officers under the law." "We now have the blueprint, America, and we won't accept less going forward in the future. "Like so many, I was outraged and deeply pained to see the horrific video of the beating that resulted in Tyre Nichols' death," Biden said in the statement. Lawyers say the five officers who beat Nichols were part of such a unit. Tatro is a legal reform advocate and senior advisor for strategic outreach with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. He says he "didn't do anything" and that he is trying to go home.

(CNN) -- Tyre Nichols, de 29 años, fue detenido por agentes de Memphis el 7 de enero por presunta conducción imprudente, según un comunicado de la policía.

“Lo que vi hoy en el video fue horrible”, dijo el lunes Rodney Wells, el padrastro de Nichols. Dijo que Ravaughn Wells, la madre de Nichols, no pudo ver el primer minuto de las imágenes después de escuchar a Nichols preguntar: "¿Qué hice?" El abogado de derechos civiles Ben Crump dijo que Nichols fue electrocutado, rociado con gas pimienta y sujetado, y lo comparó con la golpiza que la policía de Los Ángeles le propinó a Rodney King en 1991. También tenía la enfermedad de Crohn, un problema digestivo, por lo que pesaba entre 63 y 65 kilos a pesar de su estatura de 1,92 metros, dijo su madre. Los agentes lo persiguieron y tuvieron otro “enfrentamiento” antes de que lo detuvieran, dijo la policía. Sin embargo, los abogados de la familia que lo vieron el lunes lo describieron como una atroz golpiza policial que duró tres largos minutos.

Nichols wrote that he had seen “a lot more cops” who had decided to “kneel with all the protesters” and walk alongside them “with no batons and forceful weapons.” He had a son with a woman he was in a relationship with for awhile.

His move to Memphis in 2020 roughly coincided with the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and its lockdowns.

He had been living with his father in Sacramento, but the father was terminally ill, and would die before Mr. “He was going through a lot,” Ms. “He was two minutes from the house when they murdered him.” His social media posts show that he identified with the Black Lives Matter movement and harbored a mistrust of prevailing government and economic systems.

Las autoridades de Memphis publican la grabación en la que cinco agentes negros golpean al joven afroamericano, que murió tres días después.

En el caso de Nichols “la brutalidad fue extrema”, según había afirmado el padrastro del joven en una rueda de prensa el lunes. La muerte del joven ha reavivado el recuerdo de otros ejemplos de brutalidad policial que desataron la ira en las calles, como el de George Floyd, afroamericano que murió asesinado por asfixia a manos de un policía blanco de Minneapolis en 2020, desatando una oleada de protestas que dieron carta de naturaleza al movimiento Black Lives Matter. Los manifestantes salieron a las calles en la ciudad de Tennessee a la misma hora en que estaba prevista su divulgación. Uno de sus abogados ofreció aquel día una gráfica descripción que se abrió paso en los titulares de prensa: Nichols fue una “piñata humana para esos policías”, dijo. Tras su paso por las secciones El Viajero, Tentaciones y El País Semanal, ha sido redactor jefe de Domingo, Ideas, Cultura y Babelia. En Memphis, como en otras partes de Estados Unidos, las autoridades pidieron calma en previsión de las protestas que pudiera ocasionar la publicación del video. “Durante la conversación, elogió la valentía y la fortaleza de la familia”, ha informado la Casa Blanca.

Nichols’ family and their attorneys have described the arrest as a prolonged, brutal attack after being shown footage by authorities Monday. “We’ve been unable to substantiate that at this time,” Davis told Don Lemon. “I would say it’s about the same, if not worse.” After a brief pursuit, responding officers captured Nichols, who required hospitalization after the arrest and died on January 10. “I heard him call out for his mother, for his mom,” Davis said, referred to the video. “Just the disregard for humanity …

Nichols replied “I didn’t do anything” as they shout “get on the fucking ground”. In one video, which is from a police body camera, Nichols can be heard crying out “mom” as he was on the ground with officers surrounding him. This video appears to show eight officers milling about as he languished against the car. They dragged Nichols’ limp body to a police car shortly thereafter and sat him against the side. As Nichols, who appeared cuffed, remained on the ground, one officer kicked him in the head and then did so again. “This is not just a professional failing.

When the officers are Black: Tyre Nichols' death raises tough ... (USA TODAY)

The five police officers are Black. Does it matter? Experts say the race of the victim in police-involved shootings is far more important.

“It’s about the nature and the infrastructures of policing in this country that every single day send a message." Black police officers have been accused of brutalizing and killing Black victims in the past. "It takes off the table that issues and problems in law enforcement [are] about race," she told CNN. "It seems there is always a swift action when the officers are Black," he said. "It's the historically biased culture of policing that killed [Nichols]." "This is what's slowly coming out here." But it does indicate to me that bias might be a factor also in the manner in which we engage the community." So it takes race off the table. In all, officers hit Nichols with pepper spray, a Taser, a baton as well as punches and kicks. How the officers' race will influence protesters in the streets – and any future jury in the courtroom – remains to be seen. Nichols was hospitalized in critical condition, police said, and died three days later. It shows officers attempting to arrest Nichols at a red light, and again after a pursuit to a nearby neighborhood.
