Protests seen in Chicago, NYC; more expected nationwide after release of video of Tyre Nichols death
Protests have been planned from coast-to-coast Friday and some began after law enforcement officials in Memphis released a troubling video in the fatal police beating of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man who died three days after a traffic stop on Jan. 7.
The video of the killing, which involved five Black officers, shows Nichols being tased, belted with a baton, repeatedly kicked in the face and brutalized despite seeming to put up no resistance.
Memphis police chief Cerelyn "CJ" Davis told CNN Friday that the video shows "acts that defy humanity."
"You're going to see a disregard for life, duty of care that we're all sworn to, and a level of physical interaction that is above and beyond what is required in law enforcement," the chief said.
