Memphis police conduct and the law of self-defense?
In January 2023, an incident arose in Memphis Tennessee involving
numerous city police officers and Tyre Nichols. As a result of that
incident, Mr. Nichols died days after the event. On January 26, 2023,
several Memphis Police officers were charged with “murder, aggravated
assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct and official
oppression” according to an AP News timeline. On January 27, 2023, video footage
of the incident was released and it immediately received national
attention. Since this is a pending criminal investigation there is
likely more evidence of the events that has not been released.
There
is an issue that relates to this incident and the video footage that
has had almost no commentary. It is the issue of what might have
happened had Mr. Nichols been armed and had he acted in self-defense.
