Memphis Community Unites in Protest After Release of Tyre Nichols’ Police Beating Video

Hundreds of protesters gathered in Memphis, Tennessee, on Tuesday night to protest the police brutality of Tyre Nichols, who was killed in a traffic stop earlier this week.

The protests began after the Memphis Police Department released video of the fatal encounter, which showed Nichols being beaten by police officers. The video sparked outrage in the community and has been widely shared on social media.

The video also spurred the Minnesota Timberwolves to take action, as they dedicated their Tuesday night game against the Memphis Grizzlies to Nichols. Before the game, the teams held a moment of silence for Nichols, and the Timberwolves won the game in a show of solidarity.

The protests are expected to continue in the coming days, as the community continues to demand justice for the death of Tyre Nichols. The Memphis Police Department is also facing increased scrutiny and has launched an internal investigation into the incident.
