The Department of Justice released new guidance on specialized units within law enforcement agencies, one year after five members of the Memphis Police Department s SCORPION unit were video taped beating Tyre Nichols.
One of the five former Memphis Police officers charged with the murder of Tyre Nichols is looking to either have his trial outside of Shelby County or have jurors from outside the county come in to determine his fate.
Internal documents show that he witnessed the beating of Tyre Nichols, failed to stop the attack, didn t mention it to the scene supervisor and then lied to cover up the actions of those officers.
