Memphis Commercial Appeal
After Memphis police officers gave Tyre Nichols the beating that preceded the 29-year-old man’s death, one took photos of the bloodied and injured man with his personal cell phone and sent it to six people, newly released documents show.
A statement of charges, obtained through a public records request to the Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST), was sent by the Memphis Police Department in its request to have now former officers Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Justin Smith, Desmond Mills and Emmitt Martin III decertified.
POST is Tennessee’s police certification body, which also decertifies officers and prevents them from working in the state at another department.
