Family of Tyre Nichols Files $550M Lawsuit Against Memphis Police for Fatal Beating

The family of Tyre Nichols has filed a civil lawsuit against the city of Memphis, its police department, and police officers for his beating death in January.
The lawsuit alleges officers used extreme and unconstitutional force, and accuses the police director of overseeing a unit that targeted young black men.
Five police officers have been charged with second-degree murder in Nichols' death.
The lawsuit compares the beating to the 1955 murder of Emmett Till and describes the officers as a "modern-day lynch mob."
The family is seeking $550 million in damages in the wrongful death lawsuit.
