(CNN) — Upon reflection, the odd couple sensibilities that captivated viewers of “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” were in place even before the cameras started rolling. Smith's "Fresh Prince" fashions captured, and curated, the visual aesthetic of hip-hop culture. Uncle Phil, conversely, stuck closely to upper middle-class regalia, with suits, sweater vests, and golf polos. “You wore a dashiki and an afro.”Uncle Phil and Smith face off in a scene from the "Fresh Prince" episode "How I Spent My Summer Vacation." As DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince, Jeff Townes and Will Smith perform with backing dancers at the 1993 American Music Awards.

Former Memphis officer Demetrius Haley came under fire two years before beating Tyre Nichols. In Feb. 2021, Haley was on the scene when another officer ripped a woman from her car. Despite seeing the officer dislocating the woman's shoulder, he didn't write a use of force report. In addition to the use of force incident, Haley's disciplinary records include a traffic violation in which he struck a stop sign with his cruiser. "She stated the department needs several more officers like Haley," the January 2021 hearing report says.

Compass' official Instagram account said Makowka no longer worked for Townes. This week, after a politically progressive Instagram account reiterated its claims that Makowka was connected to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, Compass' official Instagram account confirmed she was terminated. "It is a fabrication that I stormed the Capitol," Makowka told Insider on Wednesday via Facebook Messenger. Later that day, Compass' official Instagram account commented on the post: "This person is no longer associated with Compass." The Townes team did not respond to requests for comment.
