BREAKING: All 5 former Memphis police officers have been charged for the brutal and fatal beating of Tyre Nichols.

This in most part thanks to Real Justice-backed DA Steve Mulroy who, in one of the quickest turnarounds we have seen, took the first step in holding these cops accountable.

John, this is huge both for Tyre’s family and for our nationwide fight to charge and prosecute guilty cops for violent policing.

It’s exactly why we worked so hard last year to elect Steve as District Attorney of Shelby County and defeat Amy Weirich — one of the most corrupt and racist DAs in America.

If we didn’t do that work last year to remove the despicable former DA, it’s very possible that these officers wouldn’t have been charged. They likely would have gotten off scot-free!!

We need to elect even more DAs in 2023 like Steve Mulroy who will act quickly to hold cops accountable. Will you pitch in right now to fund our work in recruiting, supporting, and electing more progressive and civil rights-minded DAs?

In case you haven't heard about the case, the former police officers beat Tyre Nichols for over 3 minutes to DEATH after a simple traffic stop.

Witnesses say it was the worst beating they’ve seen — worse than Rodney King’s.

His friends and family couldn’t recognize him from photos when he was hospitalized because of how badly he was beaten.

John, no one should lose their life after a traffic stop.

And the reality is that if there wasn't a reform-minded DA like Steve in place to hold cops accountable in Memphis, these officers would be walking our streets freely with no repercussions.

But thanks to your hard work and support of this movement, all 5 former officers involved in Tyre Nichols’ beating have been charged with second-degree murder. 

While this is a step toward accountability, there are too many police officers across this country still not being held accountable for murder. We need to keep fighting hard to elect DAs who will make sure that police can't get away with brutalizing, criminalizing and killing people in their communities.

We need to elect even more DAs in 2023 like Steve Mulroy who will act quickly to hold cops accountable. Will you pitch in right now to fund our work in recruiting, supporting, and electing more progressive and civil rights-minded DAs?

Gratefully, 

Real Justice
