Lawyers for the family of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black father who was brutally beaten by police and died shortly afterward, have filed a lawsuit against officials and law enforcement in the United States city of Memphis.The lawsuit alleges that the city’s police officers acted as a “modern-day lynch mob” as they kicked and punched Nichols following a traffic stop on January 7.“The savage beating of Tyre Nichols was the direct and foreseeable product of the unconstitutional policies, practices, customs, and deliberate indifference of the City of Memphis and Chief [Cerelyn ‘CJ’] Davis, the City’s chief policymaker for decisions related to the Memphis Police Department,” the complaint reads.
