A national Black college fraternity announced that it has revoked the memberships of three of the Memphis police officers involved in the death of Tyre Nichols.

“We strongly condemn the conduct of the former Memphis police officers involved in the incident, including the three former members of our organization,” said Grand Basileus Ricky L. Lewis, the chief executive of the fraternity.

The fraternity also condemned the behavior of the cops involved in Nichols’ death two days before the announcement regarding their membership revocations.

“We expect law enforcement officers to protect life and serve our communities with the highest regard for safety and humanity,” Lewis wrote in a prior statement.

Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn Davis said the actions of the officers was “a failing of basic humanity” and called the incident “heinous, reckless, and inhumane” in a YouTube video posted late last month.”

Memphis Police Department/REUTERSVideo of the violent arrest that led to Nichols’ death sparked protests across the country and drew comparisons to the 1991 beating of Rodney King.
