Nichols' fatal beating by five police officers tells the story many residents know by heart: Any encounter can be deadly if you're Black.
MEMPHIS — In a terrible way, the death of Tyre Nichols brings vindication to members of the Black community in Memphis who live in constant fear of the police.
"There's one type of law enforcement that keeps people safe, and then there's a type of law enforcement that keeps people in check," said Joshua Adams, 29, who grew up in south Memphis' Whitehaven, home to Elvis Presley's Graceland Mansion, now a mostly Black neighborhood. Madkins said the officer, dressed in tactical gear with his face covered and no visible identification, refused to give his badge number, unless Madkins consented to a weapon search of the car.
"They go into these poor Black communities and they do mass pullover operations, terrifying everybody in that community," Demster said. Some people might think the officers are looking for murderers or people accused of heinous crimes, or have stacks of warrants for violent criminals, he said, but"that is not the case."
