Attorneys Liken Tyre Nichols' Arrest to Rodney King Beating

Memphis police officers beat motorist Tyre Nichols for three minutes, treating him like “a human piñata” in a “savage” encounter reminiscent of the infamous 1991 police beating of Los Angeles motorist Rodney King, attorneys for the family said Monday.

Attorney Ben Crump said police video viewed by the family on Monday showed that Nichols was shocked, pepper sprayed and restrained after the 29-year-old FedEx worker and father was pulled over Jan. 7 minutes from his home while returning from a suburban park where he had taken photos of the sunset. Another attorney, Antonio Romanucci, said that Nichols, who was Black, was kicked before Crump stopped him from saying more.

Crump said Nichols’ family agreed to investigators’ request to wait a week or two before making the video public to “make sure to give this family what they want most, and that is justice.” Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy said in a statement Monday that investigators don’t want to risk compromising the investigation.

Crump said the video shows the encounter was “violent” and “troublesome on every level.” Romanucci called it “savage” and out of proportion to the alleged offense.

The city has been on edge about the release of the police footage because of the possibility of unrest. Nichols’ stepfather, Rodney Wells, asked that if there are protests, that they remain peaceful, saying violence “is not what Tyre wanted and won’t bring him back.”

Naw any black on black violence is a non-event to SJWs and the media. The family may get the money, but don't expect an outpouring of support, protests, riots or "say his name" events.

Happily a*similated & indoctrinated sambos willingly being the torpedos for their massa in addition to being oppressive minded, powertripping suckas even before being public servants...bullies with a badge. The only color they care about is blue...ain't no black pride with these types.

They should be relegated to the same treatment a racist or bigot would....they got their n***a wake-up call for sure by how swift they were fired with no paid administrative leave...straight cowards right here.

RIP Tyre...you can be doing the right thing & still get a*saulted so all that do the right thing & don't give them a reason when they come with their own demonic reasons, knowing black people aren't protected by the system. Sick coconuts with a self hating mentality are what they are

Listen to this bi*ch a*s nicca, we gotta accept our own as cowards son, can't blame the white man for everything.

At a lost for words, but if a lot of times cops get away. Guess who’s not getting away? These n*ggas done buried they selves, gonna be a tough time in the joint

Oh them boys thought they could do sh*t that them white cops do. They got their n*gga wake up call quick.

TaDarrius is a hell of a name

I’m a*suming they got fired so quick cause the tape gonna be bad I know lot of people is quick to say a shooting isn’t justified but most of them is split second and usually can be defended in some light this sh*t must be some bad sh*t and not just cause they black who knows though

Did y'all watch the interview with his mom? Said she saw the video and her son was about 80 yards from the house. And one of the last things her son did before he went unconscious was scream for his Mom.... sh*t. Bruh Memphis going through it. Their police force is understaffed and crime is through the roof. There's no hope for that city... I want to say fu*k the police but I know police are needed but ones like this? Hell nah? We don't need to get rid of police, we need police reform. This is going off subject but How has no one not created non lethal bullets that temporarily a*sailants? I feel something like that would significantly decrease sh*t like this.

CelticPride242 said Listen to this bi*ch a*s nicca, we gotta accept our own as cowards son, can't blame the white man for everything.

He nit saying they not guilty..he saying they will be prosecuted to the fullest extent....where as if they were white..they likely would still be working or suspended pending a never ending investigation...it's fu*k em either wag..but they are about to find out blue is not bigger then black

This will definitely set back "we need more cops that look like us" when we can't even trust them either

I hope these dirty boys meet street justice
