Two EMTs and an ambulance driver were fired Monday after an internal investigation unveiled they didn’t provide adequate medical care to Tyre Nichols——as he fought for his life on a Memphis street. “Their actions or inactions on the scene that night do not meet the expectations of the Memphis Fire Department,” the department said in a release. The investigation found that the fired employees—Robert Long, JaMichael Sandridge and Lt.
Michelle Whitaker—violated “numerous policies and protocols,” but did not specify what exactly they did wrong. Nichols, 29, was taken to a hospital but died three days later, prompting Memphis police to charge five of its own officers with second-degree murder.
