The release of Tyre Nichols beating by several police officers has sparked looting in Memphis. What happened to Tyre Nichols? NBC New York had the scoop: Tyre Nichols, 29, was stopped in Memphis for alleged reckless driving on Jan. 7; police initially said a confrontation ensued, he ran and another confrontation happened; he ended up in the hospital and died three days later. Condemnation from those who saw the body cam footage has been universal.
It remains unclear when the looting will stop. The police officers involved in the incident have been fired and will be charged as the legal system sees necessary. It seems like the situation is under control from a legal perspective, but people will still use this as an excuse to rob stores. Most of the looters don't actually care about what happened, they just see it as an excuse to get some free Jordans or a flat screen TV. I usually like my social justice to come with a side order of gaming systems, but who am I to judge others! :)
