“I feel sorry for them. I really do. I really feel sorry for them, because they didn’t have to do this.”
RowVaughn Wells, whose 29-year-old son Tyre Nichols died from injuries sustained during a police traffic stop in Memphis earlier this month, says that the officers involved have “brought shame to their own families” and “brought shame to the Black community.” Wells spoke with CNN’s Don Lemon on Friday morning in her first interview since the five officers involved were criminally charged. “They have put their own families in harm’s way. They have brought shame to their own families.
” Police video shows brutal beating Wells’ interview comes as the country braces for the release of video of Nichols’ arrest and beating. Police chief Davis has said that the video shows “acts that defy humanity” and “a disregard for life.” She compared the footage to the fatal police beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles in 1991. Wells says that she couldn’t watch the full video of her son’s arrest and beating.
