💨 Abstract

On May 8, 2025, three former Memphis police officers were acquitted of state charges, including second-degree murder, in the beating death of Tyre Nichols during a traffic stop in 2023. This verdict sparked outcry from community and civil rights leaders, who renewed calls for federal police reform, noting that Nichols' death and subsequent acquittals highlight the persistent issues with accountability in law enforcement.
