More updates on the civil suit that RowVaughn Wells filed against the city of Memphis and the Memphis Police Department for the murder of her son, . City of Memphis and other officials filed another motion (the first was to dismiss the whole case outright), this time to strike all allegations relating to Atlanta's RED DOG unit because they "have no relevance" to Wells' claims against the city or MPD. Mind you the current chief and asst. chief of MPD were involved with the unit.

I reblogged a post about this last week but it merits more attention: retired MPD detective Mark LeSure, who spoke out against the police for killing , was found shot dead in his home. The civil suit Tyre's mom filed against the city and MPD is ongoing. I think it's just a little suspicious that someone who could've (and probably would've) testified against MPD is now gone. Very convenient for them. Also--this is what tends to happen to "good cops."

So the city of Memphis moved yesterday to dismiss the civil suit against CoM and MPD in the death of . They say that there isn't sufficient evidence that proves the city's policies are at fault rather than the actions of "5 rogue officers."

"5 rogue officers" conveniently forgets the 6th (white) officer on the scene who tazed Tyre and a number of officers who arrived on the scene, heckling Tyre as he suffered from his injuries and prevented on scene paramedical treatment.

Today is also the 30th birthday of Tyre Nichols. He should still be with us. Never forget Tyre. Both he and Breonna Taylor were born on the same day. 🙏🏿
