"Newly Released Footage Sheds Light on Tyre Nichols's Fatal Beating"

The city of Memphis released 21 hours of audio, surveillance, and police body-camera footage showing the night police officers fatally beat Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black FedEx worker, during a traffic stop last January. The footage revealed officers yanking Nichols from his car, firing a Taser at him, and kicking and punching him after chasing him into a neighborhood. The videos do not show the initial traffic offense that prompted the stop, and the Police Department has said it could not find evidence to support those statements. The brutality shown in the initial videos led to the firing of multiple officers, federal investigation into the Memphis Police Department’s practices, and charges against five officers, one of whom pleaded guilty to federal charges.
