The failure of courts to secure murder convictions for the former officers who beat Tyre Nichols, and of politicians to bring greater accountability, means that he will not be the last to suffer an unjust death, @dgraham.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily:
Tyre Nichols and the End of Police Reform
If a savage beating, captured on camera, cannot produce a murder conviction, the chances of fixing the police-brutality problem are very bleak.

Today’s verdicts are a devastating miscarriage of justice. The world watched as Tyre Nichols was beaten to death by those sworn to protect and serve. That brutal, inhumane assault was captured on video, yet the officers responsible were acquitted.

Tyre Nichols was on his way home to have dinner with his mom after skating—something so simple, so human. He should be alive today. We must never forget him and must keep pushing for justice and real reform.

Graves’ experiences should remind us that the diversification of police forces has not necessarily led to less racist, less violent, or more equitable policing. Should we be glad that George Floyd and Tyre Nichols were killed by multi-racial squads? /12
