Around Memphis people usually drive 20 mph or more over the speed limit. That being said Tyre did not have a criminal history (according to the radio reports). So who knows if he was reckless or simply speeding. He was almost to his house.

There have been complaints about the “Scorpion Unit” of the MPD, the ones that were involved in this incident. BTW, MPD has lowered its standards to attract more officers:

A "confrontation occurred" during the stop, which resulted in police chasing Nichols on foot, police said. He was later apprehended.

"While attempting to take the suspect into custody, another confrontation occurred; however, the suspect was ultimately apprehended," MPD said. "Afterward the suspect complained of having shortness of breath, at which point an ambulance was called to the scene."

I'll wait until I see the video before making any statements about this case.
