Ex-cops charged in Tyre Nichols' death face decertification and police work ban in Tennessee.
TL;DR
Four of the five former Memphis police officers charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Tyre Nichols, a Black man who was handcuffed, brutally beaten, and ignored by first responders, have been decertified by the Peace Officer Standards & Training Commission, meaning they can no longer work as law enforcement in Tennessee. The former officers have 30 days to appeal. The fifth former officer charged, Tadarrius Bean, has not yet had his decertification hearing before the commission.
