DENVER — Video showing the brutal beating of Tyre Nichols by Memphis police officers on Jan. 7 shocked the nation and led to protests around the country, including in Denver.For Denver community activist Alexander Landau, the video brought back bad memories.
The officers involved in the incident were not charged, but Landau sued the city and received a nearly $800,000 settlement, one of the largest in Denver’s history.“For me, it was a rush of memories, a rush of frustration, a variety of emotions,” said Landau. “This is a pattern in practice that goes far beyond the United States, certainly, beyond Tennessee.”
“There are specific people who cannot handle being in positions of authority over other people,” said Landau.He points to Denver’s Support Team Assisted Response program, which is in the process of expanding, as a perfect example.“I think we need to think a little bit bigger about that,” said Landau, who served on STAR’s community advisory board.
