The death of Tyre Nichols, a 20-year-old Black man from Memphis, Tennessee, has sparked outrage in the United States and reignited the debate over police brutality.

President Donald Trump has called the killing “horrible” and invited the parents of Mr. Nichols to attend the State of the Union address on Tuesday.

Five former Memphis police officers have been charged in connection with the fatal beating of Mr. Nichols. An arraignment date has been set for the officers, who are accused of using excessive force.

The video of Mr. Nichols’ death has been widely shared on social media, showing the officers repeatedly beating him.

The incident has led to a discussion about the use of “elite” police units, which are often accused of using excessive force.

Opinions on the matter vary, but many activists are calling for an end to such units, arguing that they are a disaster for communities of color.

The Tyre Nichols story has sparked a nationwide conversation about police brutality and the need for police reform.
