across the country calling for police reform out there as gabriel is on the reports on from my vis. and we do warn you that viewers may find some of the images in his report. disturbing. ah, the images of tyree nichols, a young black man being beaten to death by police. a day after that video released, people in memphis still trying to grasp what they witnessed. one man told me, he was shocked by the police violence. one police officer was holding terry. why the other one was swinging through light. it looked like, like i said, a like a saying from a movie the way he was punching through his face. and he turned around and he did it the other way. they just, he b, a hailed and he's about to fall and they live in the back of the take more lives. in one part of the video, nichols is in pain. none of the police officers or paramedics appeared to provide help that left ron citizens angry. it was the constant beating and,

and then you had the fire man. that was as out there. you were supposed to hell. he was lying to me. i was landed in for die for no one day at their job. you beat him to death. you beat that, that man, that n as a young boy here in memphis, there are still some people that have yet to watch the video. but even for many of them, the beating death of tyree nichols has left them deeply affected and turned on watching it at some point i think, but i did this past day or 2. i've been sort of racing myself or it's unacceptable . i really, really hope that justice is served and that people understand that this sort of thing is not a free answer. it doesn't happen. rarely, this is america. at this point. we gotta do better.

tyree nichols is now dead and the residence of this city where it happened. now seeing his death up close and asking why. gabriel's ando alj is in memphis 1st take your 1st look at what unit has been disbanded. scorpions down the street crimes operation to restore peace. in our neighborhoods, the memphis police chief created the specialized unit in 2021 to help fight rising crime. it was made up of 3 teams of about 30 officers who targeted parts of the city that police designated as high crime areas. following nichols as death, his family had demanded that the unit be disbanded. now they've haled it's dissolution, calling the move, a decent and just decision for all citizens of memphis as bringing the franklin. he's the former executive director at law enforcement action partnership and also

a veteran police officer who served in the maryland state police and the baltimore police department. josefina fort myers in florida. mr. franklin, the tv with us live on al jazeera when the authorities in memphis say that they're permanently de activating scorpion unit. it will make the public at large across the us think what equivalent units operating in their cities and states. and what they remit is, and will that be reviewed, is an interesting move at the moment with perhaps national consequences. well 1st of all, when the police are there for the community, were there for the needs of the community and the activation of the scorpion unit in memphis by t c. j davis. i think it's a good move because, you know, it demonstrates that she is in touch with the community and listening to those who are closest to the situation. and just because it's happening in math, this is the,

the elimination of this unit doesn't mean that it will happen in other parts of the country. because in the united states here, every state is this. so different we have over 14000 police department, separate police departments across the country. and they're all very unique. they operate under different set of standards, some a very general, especially when it comes to the use of force and the thing. but each state has its own regulatory body that establishes all the standards in which these police departments operate. but do you think that those standards, but do you think those standards and those reviews will actually, will, will be revisited by those individual states and police departments at the end of the day, they're not blind to what's happening in the us right now. absolutely. i think if any police leader who's worth result, they will have to do this. the community is going to demand that they review

everything about their special unit suppression unit like like scorpion, for instance, who are they putting in these unit? what are the matrix that you're using to, to gauge success, or to measure performance for success? you know, is it the numbers of arrest? is it, you know, how many guns they're using? isn't just numbers based and that will have to change. so who's going into the units, how they being monitored? what's the supervision of the unit and, and, and then to do a deep dive to see if there are any problems or complaints with each unit. indeed, i mean please form has been the subject to face debate. nationwide costs are the u . s. in both the public and sort of political domain for decades and highlighted in the georgia floyd incident. but why is congress finding it difficult to difficult to agree and pass laws? i mean, that's what biden is suggesting. he's also sort of saying there's only so much he can do at an executive level. it is a bipartisan approach, legally, doesn't it?

with the law makers to actually make change across the u. s. yeah, on the federal level, it's very, very difficult because you're dealing with a number of things. first of all, i think everyone knows just how difficult politics have been over the past few years in this country. you know, with republicans and democrats always fighting each other. we can't get anything done. but beyond that, when you look again at the individual states, when you look at the union police unions in the power that they hold, you know, the political influence that the hold, the money that they have, that they can give to members of congress to, to influence their decision making, we've got to do something in that area to regarding union reform as well. this isn't something, this is a small task. this is huge. we've got a call to here that has been allowed to, to thrive well over a century in, in this, in this country here in the united states. and it's going to take a lot in the police reform, things like qualified immunity where police officers are pretty much immune

financially from financial harm when they do these types of beads. and that's one of the things we're desperately trying to reform in this country is qualified a minute. and as you say, it's difficult at the federal level. so how difficult is it to implement a nationwide code then full police conduct? when the state level, there is a very different approach, depending on which state we're talking about. you have popular states that new york and california, and then you have quite, you might say a country fight, an isolated states, luck, montana, where you might say the police station or the police offices in the state capital would know their neighbors would know the local farmers was in big cities, you know, the police don't know everybody that's walking around the streets. yeah, i mean, i agree with you. but when it comes, you know, the federal at the federal level because of the, the economy that the individual states have at our constitution,

the federal government can only dictate so much when it comes to law enforcement policy. they all, all the time they are coming up with solutions that and policies that should be shared from one state to the next one, police department to the next. and they are just recommendations for the most part, the only power they really have is when it comes to federal dollars that are giving out to the individual police departments across the country for different things. and when they give federal grant to the individual police departments any can require that a police department implement certain policies. but again, if the police department, the state doesn't need the federal money, then they can do whatever they want to do. for the most part, when it comes to their policing standards at the bottom, the bottom line is to make sure the standards are in line with our constitution and bill of rights. the 4th amendment, you know,

which deals with search and seizure. not just from someone's property, but of their individual bodies as well. you know, the 5th amendment, you know, the 1st amendment, the freedom of speech and, and all these other things they have to operate according to the constitutional. but when you, when you get down to the details of how police department operates, that's really up to the state and a regulatory body in that state to set the standards. it will be interesting to see what the fall out is. as the weeks progressed for the moment, neil franklin, thanks so much for joining us in fort myers florida. thank you. thank you. have any ukrainian authority say at least 3 people have been killed after a russian missile strike hit the eastern city of constant digney scott. the regional governor of the next us 2 others were injured in the attack, talking a residential neighborhood for apartment buildings and the hotel were damaged ukraine. president volume is lindsay says, moscow has been stepping off it's offensive in the east. well,
