In the U.S., three police officers are convicted in the Tyre Nichols fatal beating, while two of them are acquitted of civil rights charges. CNN reports: "Five officers were charged in Nicholsโ€™ death, but two pleaded guilty and testified against members of their old crime suppression unit, eliminating any defense strategy that would have relied on them sticking together. Jurors repeatedly watched graphic clips from police video that showed the officers punch and kick Nichols and hit him with a police baton just steps from his home, as the 29-year-old called out for his mother." https://flip.it/eH_qz- #TyreNichols #Police #News #Memphis #PoliceBrutality

"Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' Infowars show is likely to be shut down within a few months, after a federal bankruptcy judge ruled Tuesday that plans to sell off the assets of Jonesโ€™ media company, Free Speech Systems, can move forward." NPR reports: "Net proceeds from any sales will go to Sandy Hook families who won some $1.5 billion in damages from Jones for spreading lies that the 2012 school shooting never happened.
