This article contains description of physical violence
A group of Tennessee police officers punched and kicked Tyre Nichols –delivering at least a half-dozen blows – as he languished on the ground, crying out for his mother, during a 7 January beating that would result in his death, surveillance footage released Friday night revealed. The deadly attack on Nichols reportedly unfolded about 80 yards from his mother’s home.
The disturbing video, which was released in four parts by the Memphis police department, included both body-camera and street lamp-mounted camera video. While Nichols’s injuries were clearly severe, and his physical condition in obvious decline, the video indicates that an ambulance did not arrive for more than 20min after the vicious beatdown.
