THIS GUY WAS KILLED DOING NOTHING WRONG

Well that's not true, is it? He was breaking the law (traffic stop) and ran from police. (ETA: if what Rebel is saying is true and he was solely pulled over because he was romantically involved with the cop's ex-wife, then that is definitely bullshite and should have definitely come out during the trial).

But he shouldn't have been killed. I remember this story a little bit, and it's crazy that the cops were exonerated on all charges. Especially with it on video, and with (I think) audio of the cops laughing about it afterwards.

What federal charges are still out there for the cops involved?

Also saw this in the article:
quote:

The five officers, the city of Memphis and the police chief are being sued by Nichols’ family for $550 million.

$550 million is obviously stupid. But they will likely see something...I wonder how much they will get in the end.

I'm not familiar with this story. Is there a non-pointed story telling what happened?

Edit:
Okay, yeah. I remember the video. Eeesshhhh, not sure how they came to that verdict...
