The Memphis police body-camera video of the confrontation between Tyre Nichols and five officers who are charged with his murder is due to be published later today
The police department in the city of Memphis was set on Friday to release body-camera video of a violent confrontation between a Black motorist and five police officers charged with murder in his death earlier this month.
Police have been highly opaque about the circumstances of the arrest. Even Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy, who sought the indictment, described the incident in vague terms when announcing the charges. Protests against racial injustice erupted globally following the May 2020 murder of George Floyd, a Black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for more than nine minutes, after he was arrested on suspicion of trying to pass a counterfeit bill.
David Rausch, director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation, told reporters he was sickened by what he saw. But Romanucci said in a CNN interview on Thursday that a medical examination commissioned by the family found Nichols was severely beaten.
