Tyre Nichols’ Family Sues Memphis City Officials, Police Officers

Washington Post

Lawyers for Tyre Nichols’s family filed a lawsuit Wednesday morning against the city of Memphis, its police department, Police Chief Cerelyn Davis and the officers involved in the brutal beating of the 29-year-old after a traffic stop in January. Nichols died three days later.

The 139-page complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee describes the beating as a “foreseeable product of the unconstitutional policies, practices, customs, and deliberate indifference of the City of Memphis and Chief Davis.”

The suit compares the beating to the 1955 killing of Emmitt Till and describes the officers involved as a “modern-day lynch mob.”

‘May Be Problematic’: New Study Highlights Another Potential Roadblock for Biden’s Offshore Wind Push

A new study has identified a potentially massive problem for offshore wind developments that could further hinder the Biden administration’s push for the technology. The study, published in a scientific journal called Wind Energy Science and authored by researchers from the University of Colorado and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), focuses on what happens when the presence of nearby wind turbines reduces wind speeds for other turbines and their ability to produce power. The researchers project that the "wake effect," the technical name for the phenomenon, could lead to a loss of up to 38 percent of power generation at one East Coast offshore wind development.
