Officials in Memphis on Friday released police video from the violent arrest of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man whose death earlier this month has led to second-degree murder charges against five officers, who were fired over the incident.
Nichols died three days after what his family and authorities described as a brutal encounter that stemmed from a traffic stop.
The four videos posted on the city of Memphis’ Vimeo account shortly before 7 p.m. EST were taken from police body cameras and street surveillance cameras.
They show officers first removing Nichols from a vehicle after pulling him over, an initial struggle when Nichols breaks loose and runs away from the officers, and then disturbing images of Nichols being restrained and beaten by five officers at a suburban intersection.
