Police Brutality

The National Day of Action Against Police Terror unites racial justice groups demanding accountability for victims who have died at the hands of law enforcement like Tyre Nichols.

Alaunte Scott, 22, was shot in the back and killed by U.S. Marshals as he was taking the garbage out of his home on Tuesday afternoon in southeast Washington, D.C., his mother said.

Michael C. Jenkins and Eddie Terrell Parker were tortured over false and racist claims, lawyers say.

The revelation that a Memphis cop texted a "female acquaintance" with a graphic photo of Tyre Nichols has revived a debunked "rumor" that the beating was personal.

Our surprise that five Black police officers could brutalize another Black man indicates we have an impoverished understanding of race and racism in this country.

The white Memphis cop in the Tyre Nichols bodycam video heard hoping officers will "stomp his ass" is named "Detective Preston Hemphill," according to a new report. Only the Black cops have been fired, arrested and charged with murder.

Tyre Nichols' autopsy results are consistent with claims he died from injuries sustained during a "severe beating" from Memphis police, his family's attorneys said.

As part of the settlement, city officials will reserve space for Golden's family to build a memorial bench and plaque to honor his legacy.

The Butler County, Ohio cops on video punching Latinka Hancock in the face over a Big Mac were not fired after brutalizing the Black woman.

A jury awarded Caron Nazario less than $4,000 of the $1 million he sued for after Virginia cops assaulted the Black Army officer on video in 2020. "It is open season on citizens in Virginia," his lawyer said.

The officer was suspended after video showed him beating a 12-year-old outside of a school.

A police-run tennis program detained him.
