"These incidents are never a one-off," Arnold Ventures' Walter Katz wrote in a Twitter thread following the release of a video showing five Memphis police officers beating Tyre Nichols until he collapsed. Nichols died in the hospital three days later. "They are the extreme culmination of behavior that was complained of and ignored."
