5 US Police Officers Plead "Not Guilty" To Fatal Beating Of Black Man
Lawyers for five officers said they pleaded "not guilty" Friday to charges that they murdered Tyre Nichols, a young Black man who died after a police beating in Memphis, Tennessee last month. Videos of the incident showed the five officers, who are all Black, repeatedly kicking and punching Nichols in a traffic stop close to his home on January 7, three days before he died in hospital.
