Memphis monstrosity: From race to cameras: Tyre Nichols should still be alive
Fox News
Tyre Nichols of Memphis, Tenn., should still be alive. He would be, were it not for the five Black police officers who took matters into their own hands and beat him to death.
But I can’t get away from the heartbreaking reality: A 29-year-old father with no criminal record, who lived with his mom and was working two shifts at his job, is dead. Howard Kurtz is the host of FOX News Channel's MediaBuzz (Sundays 11 a.m.-12 p.m. ET). Based in Washington, D.C., he joined the network in July 2013 and regularly appears on Special Report with Bret Baier and other programs.
And he died in the most monstrous way possible, after a brutal assault by five members of the police who are sworn to uphold the law. Now that we’ve all seen the shocking videos – with the cops kicking, punching and beating with a baton a defenseless man on the ground, crying out for his mother – it is one of the most gruesomely documented instances in an inglorious history of police brutality.
