Kia and Hyundai thefts - Census' racial classifications - Adani Group scandal

1. Summary
   On Monday Memphis, Tennessee issued more punishments to workers in relation to the Jan. 10 death of Tyre Nichols. Nichols, a 29-year-old black man, was beaten for several minutes straight during a traffic stop; the video was made public last week and has evoked widespread outrage.
   
   Initially five black officers involved in the incident were fired and later charged. On Monday Memphis dismissed Preston Hemphill, who is white, as well as another unnamed officer. Hemphill could be heard saying on video that he stunned Nichols. Three emergency personnel were also fired: the city says the ambulance called for Nichols waited for nearly 30 minutes at the scene before departing to a hospital.
   
   Most of the officers disciplined over the incident were part of the Scorpion unit, which targeted violent criminals in high-crime areas. The unit has now been disbanded. Nichols' death has led to calls for renewed Congressional negotiations on police reform. Previous negotiations broke down in 2021, with qualified immunity being a major point of contention.
