Police supervisor retires before facing consequences in Tyre Nichols' death

The Memphis police supervisor, Lt. DeWayne Smith, who was present when Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by officers, retired with his benefits the day before a hearing to fire him. Seven other Memphis officers were fired after Nichols died following a traffic stop on Jan. 7 and five of them are charged with second-degree murder. Smith is not charged in Nichols' death. The U.S. Department of Justice is currently reviewing the Memphis Police Department policies on the use of force, de-escalation strategies and specialized units in response to Nichols' death.
