Mother of Tire Nichols responds to five former cops who pleaded not guilty to beating her son to death

    The five former Memphis police officers charged with the murder of Tire Nichols, a black man, pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges Friday at Shelby County Criminal Court in Tennessee. “They didn’t even have the courage to look me in the face after what they did to my son,” RowVaughn Wells, Nichols’ mother, said at a post-indictment press conference.
