Former Memphis police supervisor in Tyre Nichols' death retired with benefits before he could be fired
Fox News
The Memphis police supervisor on the scene when Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by officers retired with his benefits the day before a hearing to terminate him.
Members of the Memphis City Council have expressed frustration that an officer was allowed to retire before efforts to fire him. The council's vice-chairman JB Smiley Jr. said it did not seem fair that the officer could keep his pension and other benefits.
"I just don’t like the fact that [Nichols'] parents are paying this officer to go on and live and that’s troubling," Smiley said.
