Photo: Brandon Dill/Associated PressThe mother of Tyre Nichols, the Memphis man who died in January after being beaten by police during a traffic stop, on Wednesday sued the city of Memphis, its police chief and others, including the former officers now facing murder charges in Mr. Nichols’s death. In the 139-page complaint, RowVaughn Wells said her 29-year-old son was killed in “a gruesome, barbaric display of police brutality on the streets of a quiet neighborhood in Memphis.” The complaint stated that Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn “C.J.” Davis exercised poor training and oversight of officers and fostered an attitude among officers that they were above the law.

CNN —Ja Morant led the way on Wednesday for the Memphis Grizzlies with 38 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in a 134-124 win over the Brooklyn Nets. Even his opponents praised the Memphis guard’s performance after the game with Nets star forward Kevin Durant saying that Morant is “doing some stuff that we’ve never seen before.”“He’s a unique player,” Durant added, according to ESPN. Although Durant and Kyrie Irving each scored 37 points for the Nets and Brooklyn shot 54% from the field, the Grizzlies outscored the visitors 48-27 from three-point range. The Nets launched a mini-comeback to come within seven of Memphis, but a huge 33-foot triple from Morant with 51 seconds remaining took the Grizzlies lead to 10 and locked up the win. Tonight, I thought was his best game at doing both at a high level.”The win takes the Grizzlies to 3-1 on the season, while the Nets fall to 1-2.

It added: "President Trump will always and forever be a champion for the American People."
