At 150 pounds he was a rail of a man. He was a father, too. He came to Memphis just before the pandemic locked the world down.
At a press conference Friday, Wells said,"No mother, no mother, no mother, should go through what I'm going though right now, no mother, lo lose their child to the violent way I lost my child."It all started on January 7, when body cam video shows Nichols being yanked from his car.Nichols:"Stop, okay, stop, alright, okay, dude, there it is.
The video shows one officer stopping to tie his shoe; another is trying to get his radio to work. There was laughing and cussing, all while Nichols was suffering life threatening injuries. Nichols died in the hospital three days later.Tyre Nichols died in the hospital three days after being beaten by police.
