The Memphis Police Department said on Saturday that it would permanently deactivate the department's SCORPION unit, whose officers beat Tyre Nicholls to death, according to a statement.

Some of the five former police officers in the U.S. city accused in the fatal beating case were members of the unit tasked with tackling rising crime in the city.
