The Memphis City Council also approved several public safety reforms in a meeting Tuesday night, the first hearing since the video of Nichols' beating was released. The council votes happened as Nichols' family entered the House of Representatives chamber at the US Capitol in Washington, DC, as invited guests of first lady Jill Biden to President Joe Biden's State of the Union address. Biden addressed the need for police accountability in his speech.
Martin and Haley, the first officers on the scene who dragged Nichols out of his car, didn't turn their cameras on before the confrontation, according to their statements of charges. Smith also hadn't activated his camera when he first arrived at the scene, his letter says. After Nichols fled the scene, the officers caught up to him at a second location near his family home and punched and beat him as he lay restrained on the ground, the video shows.
After the beating, the documents say, the officers can be heard on body-worn camera "making multiple unprofessional comments, laughing and bragging about involvement." About 23 minutes passed between the time Nichols appeared to be subdued and a stretcher arriving on scene, video shows. Their accounts were "not consistent with each other and are not consistent with the publicly known injuries and death of Mr. Nichols," the documents say.
So apparently Officer Haley’s ex, with whom he shared a child, was sleeping with Tyre. Tyre took a picture of them having sex and sent it to Haley. After the beating took place, Haley took and sent a picture of Tyre lying in the street to the ex. The truth is slowly coming out.
