The Memphis Police Dept. formally requested that a state oversight board bar six former police officers involved in the beating death of Tyre Nichols, 29, from ever holding positions in law enforcement again
Peace Officers Standards and Training Commission has received a request to decertify six officers who were fired as a result of the case, and one who resigned in its aftermath: Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr., Preston Hemphill, and Justin Smith.
The commission has already determined that three of the officers be decertified, as they failed to appear for their hearings. A fourth officer, Mills, declined to challenge the recommendation and agreed to surrender his certification. The hearings for officers Bean and Hemphill have yet to be scheduled. Trending
