The Department of Justice (DOJ)<\/a> is launching an investigation into the Memphis Police Department regarding the death of Tyre Nichols in January.<\/p>\n

The investigation aims to dissect policing protocols of officers in Memphis, Tennessee,<\/a> for racial bias in policing and discriminatory conduct.<\/p>\n

“The tragic death of Tyre Nichols created enormous pain in the Memphis community and across the country,” Attorney General Merrick Garland wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He continued, “The Justice Department is launching this investigation to examine serious allegations that the City of Memphis and the Memphis Police Department engage in a pattern or practice of unconstitutional conduct and discriminatory policing based on race, including a dangerously aggressive approach to traffic enforcement.”<\/p>\n

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Civil Rights Division speculated that the majority-black city’s police department<\/a> may be disproportionately punishing minority suspects.<\/p>\n

The Memphis Police Department\u2019s specialized “Scorpion Unit,”<\/u><\/a> which was involved in the Nichols incident, was disbanded following his death.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Five of the officers let go by the department for their involvement in the death of Nichols \u2013 seen on video beating the 29-year-old \u2013 have pleaded not guilty<\/u><\/a> to second-degree murder and other crimes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is a necessary step in ensuring the citizens of Memphis have our civil rights protected and that we are moving beyond tacit political talking points regarding criminal justice reform,” Memphis activist Earle Fisher said.<\/p>\n

Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland and Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn\u00a0Davis requested the Justice Department\u2019s review of the Tennessee city\u2019s law enforcement.<\/p>\n

At the end of that initiative, the COPS Office also will issue a public report outlining its findings and recommendations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
