Release of Tyre Nichols arrest video could spark 'very serious public reaction,' Shelby County DA says.

of Nichols' arrest is expected to be released sometime after 7 p.m. ET tonight, with cities nationwide bracing for protests.

Five former Memphis police officers were charged with second-degree murder and kidnapping in the death of Tyre Nichols after a traffic stop in January 2023. Mulroy said the charges against the officers involved had to be announced before the release of the video due to the possibility of public outrage.

The five Memphis officers charged in Nichols' death are Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Desmond Mills, Jr., Emmitt Martin III and Justin Smith. They were fired on Jan. 20. All five are Black. Even so, Mulroy said the majority of police are"well-intended, dedicated and well-meaning people," in regards to whether the Nichols' arrest is the result of a problem with policing in the U.S. involving people of color. Mulroy mentioned the need for citizen review boards in cities to quell problems.

As it should.

Why has the d.a still not released the police bodycam video what are they trying to hide

black cops did it to a black man no white cops involved, even the chief of police is black

What time does this drop?

sure as hell ain't pulling over for your cops

Injustice for one, is injustice for all.

Especially if y’all keep pushing for it. Why would anyone protest? They’re all charged already. The media is the enemy of the people.

Strange that we aren't seeing all the liberal politicians speaking out in this case. 🤔 Could it be because they don't care about Tyre (just like they didn't care about anyone else), and because of the race of the officers, it doesn't help them politically? Hmmmm?

For public safety, this video should not be released.

It's called 'a reckoning'

The real question is, will any jury convict the 5 defendants? I'm guessing 'NO.'

I'm going for a fish fry tonight.

We will be experiencing a weekend of 'Pants up let's Loot'

Protests are not designed to be violent, please remember this if you’re thinking of protesting. Also know the 5 officers responsible for the killing have been charged with murder, this is improvement from even 20 years ago, those officers are not charged 20 years ago.

Well yeah. He was murdered by Cops IN FRONT OF OTHER COPS.

He should have followed lawful orders

Tyre Nichols body cam video to be released as Memphis police admit failingsPolice chief Cerelyn Davis said she expected people 'to feel outrage in the disregard of basic human rights' when they watched the footage. There will be riots because they use this as an excuse to steal sneakers and burn whatever they want with no consequences. It’s like a Black Friday sale without actually paying for anything. Then again, stealing Nike’s makes things better. You can run faster.
