Retired MPD supervisor avoids punishment in Tyre Nichols' death

The Memphis police lieutenant who was present when Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by officers retired with his benefits the day before his termination hearing. Lt. DeWayne Smith did not face charges in Nichols' death, but documents filed to revoke his law enforcement certification reveal additional details about his actions that night. Seven other Memphis officers were fired after Nichols' death, and five of them are charged with second-degree murder. 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.
