Video showing five Memphis officers beating a Black man has been made public
Civil rights Attorney Ben Crump speaks to RowVaughn Wells, mother of Tyre Nichols, who died after being beaten by Memphis police officers, at a news conference with in Memphis, Tenn., Friday, Jan. 27, 2023. MEMPHIS, Tenn. — — Memphis authorities released more than an hour of footage Friday of the violent beating of Tyre Nichols in which officers held the Black motorist down and struck him repeatedly as he screamed for his mother.
“This young man, by definition of the law in this state, was terrorized. Not by one, not by two, but by five officers who we now know ... acted in concert with each other," said attorney Antonio Romanucci, who represents Nichols’ family. During the initial stop, the video shows the officers were “already ramped up, at about a 10,” she said. The officers were “aggressive, loud, using profane language and probably scared Mr. Nichols from the very beginning.”
Nichols' mother, RowVaughn Wells, warned supporters of the “horrific” nature of the video but pleaded for peace. FBI Director Christopher Wray said he was “appalled” by the video and that all FBI field officers have been alerted to work with state and local partners, including in Memphis, “in the event of something getting out of hand.”
Patrick Yoes, the national president of the Fraternal Order of Police, condemned the alleged actions of the Memphis officers.
