Statement: Not One More Tyre Nichols
From Black Rose Anarchist Federation
The following statement is endorsed by the membership of Black Rose Anarchist Federation / Federación Anarquista Rosa Negra.
On January 10, 2023, Tyre Nichols died from severe physical injuries, including a broken neck, sustained three days earlier at the hands, batons, pepper spray, and tasers of five Memphis, Tennessee police officers. As one of the lawyers for Tyre’s family described it, Officers Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr, and Justin Smith treated him like “a human piñata” during a January 7 confrontation.
