Tyre Nichols was stopped on 7 January for what the police said was reckless driving, whereafter 'police [officers] brutalized him to the point of being unrecognizable,' said family attorneys Ben Crump and Antonio Romanucci in a statement.

WASHINGTON, United States - United States authorities on Thursday charged five former police officers with murder over the fatal beating of a black man in Memphis, as the southern city braced for possible civil unrest and US President Joe Biden urged demonstrators to protest peacefully.

The five officers, who are also black, were fired after an internal investigation found them to have deployed excessive use of force and to have failed to render aid, police said. In addition to second-degree murder charges, the officers in Memphis are also facing indictments of aggravated assault and aggravated kidnapping.

All five officers charged with Nichols's murder have been taken into custody, though attorneys for two of them said their clients intended to post bail.
