Tyre Nichols Death: Memphis Braces for Release of Police Beating Video
Memphis braced for public outrage on Friday after it releases video of five police officers, now charged with murder, in a traffic stop that authorities say resulted in the brutal beating and death of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man.
Officials who have viewed the video said it is deeply disturbing but few details have yet been made public about what it contains.
Nichols died in the hospital three days after the Jan. 7 encounter with the five Black officers, who have been charged with second-degree murder, assault, kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression and fired from their jobs.
Police will release the video on Friday evening on YouTube.
It is expected to include footage captured by cameras worn by police and mounted on dashboards of their vehicles as well as security cameras on nearby utility poles.
