The Justice Department said on Thursday that it had begun a sweeping civil
rights investigation into policing in Memphis, digging into allegations of
pervasive problems with excessive force and unlawful stops of Black residents
that were amplified by the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols in January.

In announcing the investigation, officials specifically cited Mr. Nichols, a
29-year-old Black man who died after a traffic stop escalated into a brutal
confrontation in which Memphis police officers kicked, pepper-sprayed and
pummeled him, even as he was restrained, and then failed to render aid.
