through something like this. yet again, black parents grieve a son s death from police brutality. it s a story that dates back to the very origins of america. and it s a history that conservatives are fighting very, very hard to eliminate from our schools. also tonight, the unanswered questions in tyre nichols death and the police chief responsible for hyperaggressive police units with names like scorpion and red dog. plus, the possibility that a former fbi official accused of secretly working for a russian oligarch could have played a role in tipping the 2016 election to donald trump. we begin tonight with the fallout over the tragic death of tyre nichols at the hands of five memphis police officers. now, if you have a heart, what happened to the 29-year-old father, skateboarder, fedex driver and amateur photographer should outrage you. it should shock and disgust you. as should the so-called brothers who chose to begave like a little blue gang rather than black men
