The officers who beat Tyre Nichols to death during a traffic stop may have been fired and charged with murder, but their supervisor appears to have avoided any accountability for the slaying.
According to documents related to a planned termination meeting, Lt. DeWayne Smith, who was on the scene as Nichols was repeatedly punched, kicked, and hit with batons, retired with full benefits the day before he was set to be fired. Memphis City Council vice-chairman JB Smiley Jr.
was one of a group of city officials who saw the move as unjust, saying, “I just don’t like the fact that [Nichols’] parents are paying this officer to go on and live and that’s troubling.
