Dallas residents are reacting to newly released body cam video that shows a Jan. 7 Memphis traffic stop that eventually leads to five officers beating Tyre Nichols relentlessly.
"Why is it in 2023 something like that is still happening?" Christina Melendez said."Five police officers for one guy?"
Law enforcement agencies across the country have been quick to condemn the actions of the five former officers who are now all facing multiple charges including second degree murder. "Along with the rest of the world I am ashamed," Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia said."As law enforcement we take an oath to protect and serve. The actions that day broke, violated and tarnished that oath." "We will ensure anyone who chooses to peacefully protest, hold vigils, remembrances can do so safely and securely in our city," Garcia said."We respect everyone's constitutional right, but we will not condone lawlessness in the our city.
