Tyre Nichols's Parents Remember Son as "Beautiful Soul" & Describe Video of Beating by Memphis Cops

A day after prosecutors charged five former Memphis police officers with murder over the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols, we speak with his parents, RowVaughn and Rodney Wells, about their drive to seek justice for their son. "He had a beautiful soul, and he touched everyone," RowVaughn Wells says of her son. Nichols was a 29-year-old Black father, amateur photographer and longtime skateboarder who died January 10 from kidney failure and cardiac arrest, three days after he was brutally beaten by the five officers during a traffic stop. The officers were fired earlier this month and indicted on Thursday with second-degree murder, kidnapping and other charges for their role in Nichols's death. We also speak with civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing the family.

    None of you have any right to complain. All of the information that you need to end Cannabis prohibition that has been the number one excuse for police to target poor minorities for nearly 100 years is shown in the 14-minute 1942 USDA video *Hemp for Victory* which became public in 1990. None of you will watch the film and see just how blatantly wrong the war on drugs really is. Police have been turned into soldiers against the American people over the exact same "Marihuana" plant that was legalized to defend the US during World War II. There is an official .gov link to the film from the US National Archives. It doesn't matter if Cannabis was involved in this case. It is a ready excuse for police to target, harass, intimidate, beat and kill Black and Latino Americans. Cannabis prohibition since the 1920s has created this disgusting police culture and made the "Land of the Free" have the largest prison population on Earth. *Hemp for Victory* changes everything, but barely anyone knows about it because even "left leaning" news outlets such as Democracy Now will not inform their viewers about it. We can rearrange the entire US society and gun and police cultures by making *Hemp for Victory* finally go viral, but no one cares. So, this is what you get. Time after time, police feeling justified for beating and killing Americans with impunity.

    While that's not only true, this one's different. When men in agony and horror cry out for their mom, like wounded on a battlefield, it's a psychological reaction, not "literally expecting" their mothers to actually show up. But Tyre was even literally crying out for his mother who he hoped would actually hear it and actually come save him in person. So heart-wrenching I can hardly stand it.

I genuinely can't even take it much past Tyre and his parents right now because they MUST feel elevated everywhere. However, we all know the time is coming to continue in earnest on the path to "justice". There is just no way that this can go any other way than for them, legally speaking. I mean, how?? What this clip did so well and Ms. Goodman really tried to center was the humanity and soul of Mr. Nichols, ...Tyre. His Life Mattered and Matters. Watching only the bc footage so far I can tell that other people did not agree. All I can do is stay enjoined in the mass majority of humans that believe his Life and Legacy should be highlighted first and always.

    She's being very strong, driven by passionately seeking justice for what was done to her son. I just think that no middle class families persons are free from anything like what happened to Tyre. That's a very thought out statement, based on years of being back in the USA. I was being warned about police, by people where I live, not too long after I moved back from overseas. That's why I had the windows tinted in my car, because I was warned about being a woman driving home at night by myself, where it can be seen through the windows, that being in a low crime area. Can whine about African history, but it doesn't matter even if all white areas. The same type of predatory greed, and abuse if not easily fed, with even verbal questioning why, can apply to all equally the same way. What I was warned about is even worse, sexual predator cops, or just get off beating up women.

    Most police officers who commit brutality do not have the medical diagnosis of sociopathy/antisocial personality disorder. One doesn't need a specific psychiatric disorder to commit heinous acts. Psychologically 'normal,' 'sane' people do cruel and brutal things all the time. And conversely not everyone with class b personality disorders is actively cruel and abusive.

    People that beat other people frequently often express a lot of surprise someone died, much like the scorpion unit police officers are doing here, because they've beaten so many others senseless before and THEY never died then, so why has it finally happened now? I see wife beaters say the same thing when the wife finally dies they'll be sooo shocked she died because like I said, "she never died BEFORE so no way it's happened now!" It's common. You should see how the scorpion unit was encouraged to operate. It was a disaster waiting to happen and rest assured the chief knew that. He has plenty of experience. He knew. She just wanted the benefits (more stolen cars returned to the owner) at the expense of safety. Edit: Wow, Tyre was 6'3 and 150lbs and sick? They were beating a walking skeleton up like that! Poor guy! Oh that's so sad. See, it's so easy to beat someone to death. It's very easy, even tasing him could've given him a heart attack in the shape he was in especially. It can give me a heart attack I have tachycardia. It can give YOU a deadly heart attack. You're probably overweight therefore your heart is somewhat weaker than others. Just because you may have been tased before, doesn't mean you can't have a heart attack the next time you are! Or the next time! So...that in itself is possibly* deadly force, that should only be used when they're in danger and they KNEW they weren't in danger here, but they just felt empowered to do anything they wanted at any time because they had the Chief's approval. She knew what they were doing. She's a black woman with plenty of experience she knows how fast that could've gone out of control completely. It was already out of control. Now they've killed someone. Only took them 1 year after engaging a "scorpion unit" to kill a 20 something innocent man.

    I worked for several years as a psychiatric nurse. I was trained to de-escalate patients/clients who were sometimes very disturbed. I had also been trained so that if a client/patient needed to be restrained for their own or others safety i (about 110 lb) and two others were able to get them on the ground, and securely held. This was done with the maximum respect possible and the minimum of harm and fuss. How come many US police officers seem to feel justified and protected in using maximum forse and aggression? It seems insane that 5 officers cant manage a situation with an unarmed and cooperative man without beating him to a pulp and killing him. The police in my country arent allways perfect, but it is unthinkable that they would act in this way. They too are taught to use respect and de-escalate as much as possible
