However, minutes later he is caught after a chase and that is when they begin to attack him with punches, blows, clubs and kicks, as well as tasers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&quot;I condemn what is seen in this video in the strongest possible terms. The actions of these officers greatly damaged the trust between law enforcement and the communities we serve,&quot; the sheriff added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI will redouble my commitment to serve, protect and engage with our communities with compassion, respect, integrity and dignity. As I have said, we must work together as a community for change,\u201d Corpus stressed. \u201cBut I asked that we do so peacefully and with respect for Mr. Nichols in communities across this country struggling to make sense of this senseless act.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The San Mateo Police Department offered its condolences to the Tyre Nichols family in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe San Mateo Police Department offers its deepest condolences to Mr. Nichols\u2019 family, friends and the Memphis community. While we have made great strides in our community to address social injustice, the death of a young African American man highlights the necessary work that must be done to ensure that all members of our society are treated fairly and equally under the law and the criminal justice system,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also noted that, for the community of San Mateo, &quot;the actions of five Memphis law enforcement officers tarnish the badge of all police officers in the United States.&quot;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPlease know that we stand with you against police brutality and are working every day to raise the bar for the law enforcement profession. As we have demonstrated with our Real Talk San Mateo series, we welcome a conversation to discuss policing and how we can do better.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They also detailed that if the San Mateo community wishes to invite the Police Department to their next community meeting, virtual meeting or meeting, organizers can send an email to <a href=\"mailto:pdpio@cityofsanmateo.org\"
