Video footage can be seen showing Tyre Nichols cried for his mother as the Memphis police officers struck him multiple times including in the face while his hands were restrained  toward the end of the Black man's deadly encounter with the officers this month, video released by the city shows.

Reports Are that The city on Friday night released body camera and surveillance video of the January 7 traffic stop and beating that led to the 29-year-old's death in hospital from his injuries three days later. The release comes a day after five Memphis police officers, who also are Black and have been fired, were charged with murder.




The footage drew stunned reaction from law enforcement experts and outrage from officials including President Joe Biden, who said it was "yet another painful reminder of the profound fear and trauma, the pain, and the exhaustion that Black and Brown Americans experience every single day." 

All five Memphis police officers identified Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Justin Smith, Emmitt Martin and Desmond Mills Jr. were fired January 20 for violating police policies including on use of excessive force, police said.

They were then charged this week. Each has been charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault, two charges of aggravated kidnapping, two charges of official misconduct and one charge of official oppression, Mulroy, the Shelby County district attorney, said.

Martin and Haley were released from jail on a $350,000 bond, according to Shelby County Jail records, while Smith, Bean and Mills Jr. have been released after each posting a $250,000 bond.

The five former officers are scheduled for arraignment on February 17.
