Back in the U.S., in Tennessee, a federal trial is underway for three former Memphis police officers charged over the killing of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black father who was beaten to death following a traffic stop in January of 2023. On Thursday, prosecutors showed the jury disturbing bodycam video showing officers Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley and Justin Smith milling around and failing to render medical aid to Nichols, who was slumped on the ground after he was brutally punched, kicked, tased and pepper-sprayed by officers. Nichols died three days later.

The officers are charged with violating Nichols’s civil rights, failure to intervene, and obstruction of justice for conspiring to cover up the killing. They also face murder charges in a Tennessee state court. Two other officers — Emmitt Martin and Desmond Mills Jr. — pleaded guilty to federal civil rights charges ahead of the trial.
