Former President Donald Trump on Saturday condemned the death of Tyre Nichols at the hands of five police officers in Memphis, Tennessee, saying that the tragedy “never should have happened.”

“I thought it was terrible,” Trump told The Associated Press on Saturday, referring to the street surveillance and body-cam footage showing the violence arrest and beating of Nichols. “He was in such trouble. He was just being pummeled. Now that should never have happened.”
