Beaten to death
When he tried to flee on foot, the five police officers beat the man lying on the ground for several minutes, even though he was already handcuffed. He died three days later of “profuse bleeding after aggravated beatings,” the coroner said. In addition, Tire suffered cardiac arrest and liver failure.
“It’s absolutely horrific,” is shocked lead investigator David Rausch: “It wasn’t proper police work. That was criminal!” Former lawyer for the family of police victim George Floyd (46), Ben Crump (53), who now also represents the Nichols family, said: “This tragedy fits the absolute definition of a senseless and needless death!”
