The city of Memphis released graphic video footage on Friday of the violent encounter between Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, and the five police officers charged with murder in his beating death after a traffic stop earlier this month. One video clip shows officers dragging Nichols from the driver’s seat of his car as he yells, "Damn, I didn’t do anything … I am just trying to go home," and force him to the ground as they order him to lay on his stomach, then squirt him in the face with pepper spray.
