DOJ Finds Memphis Police Violated Constitution, Used Excessive Force, and Discriminated After Tyre Nichols Probe
Dec 5, 2024, 02:04 AM
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has concluded a 17-month civil rights investigation into the Memphis Police Department, finding systemic issues in its practices. According to the report, the department engages in the use of excessive force, violates the Constitution, and discriminates against Black people and disabled individuals. The investigation was launched following the 2023 death of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, who was fatally beaten by Memphis police officers after a traffic stop. The DOJ has called for significant reforms within the department to address these issues.
