WASHINGTON — The gruesome footage of Memphis police officers viciously beating Tyre Nichols, a motorist who had been stopped for alleged reckless driving on Jan. 7, stunned law enforcement officials and experts across the U.S., who instantly grasped that their profession would suffer deep damage from the actions of the five officers.
Moskos agrees. “It’s not just these five cops.”
"I haven't heard any defense of these officers or anyone suggesting this behavior was either acceptable or within range of what in any universe would be considered normal,", a policing expert at the right-leaning Manhattan Institute and a former intelligence specialist at the New York Police Department, told Yahoo News.
“I have yet to see a video of the incident with a sergeant present, let alone anyone in charge,” Brandon del Pozo, the former police chief of Burlington, Vt., told Yahoo News in a text message. “Memphis was young, inexperienced, amped-up cops given a mandate to ‘clean up the streets’ and left to run amok.”
