The U.S. Department of Justice has launched a civil rights investigation into Rankin County, Mississippi, and the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department to determine if the department engages in unconstitutional practices, including excessive force, unlawful stops, and racially discriminatory policing.

After examining the footage, the New York Times reported that Memphis police officers issued a barrage of confusing, conflicting commands when working to arrest Tyre Nichols, who they fatally beat on Jan. 7. Nichols died from his injuries Jan. 10. (Screenshot of video from Memphis Police Department)
