Another officer also has been fired and a seventh relieved of duty. Six others could receive administrative discipline, officials disclosed, without providing any details. That would bring the total involved to 13. Harris thought the men were trying to rob him, the lawsuit says, and he tried to back up his car before hitting something. He then reluctantly exited with his hands raised and was "grabbed, punched, kicked and assaulted" for up to two minutes, the complaint states. The beating stopped only after people came out of their apartments to see what was happening, the lawsuit alleges.
Her aunt recorded the encounter. Then police stopped her aunt and brother while they followed a squad car as it took Townes to a hospital. Townes said she was never charged with anything. "You never told the driver the purpose of the vehicle stop or that he was under arrest," the documents state.Memphis police say two more officers involved in the arrest, beating and death of Tyre Nichols have been disciplined in addition to the dismissal of three emergency medical technicians.
