After the ruthless police crackdown on a black man in Memphis, there are even more personal consequences: the city’s fire department announced Monday that it has fired two paramedics and an ambulance driver. They said they had not provided adequate medical care to the victim, 29-year-old Tire Nichols.
The number of fired police officers has now risen to seven. First, five black police officers directly involved in the operation were fired. Charges were filed against her. The five men are charged with manslaughter and aggravated assault. US media reported two more police releases on Monday, citing the Memphis Police Department.
Nichols was brutally beaten by police officers during a traffic stop in Memphis, Tennessee, on January 7. Three days later, he died in hospital from his serious injuries. The case has sparked protests across the US and a new debate about police brutality against African Americans.
