The city of Memphis and the nation braced for the police video release depicting five officers viciously beating Tyre Nichols, a Black man whose death prompted murder charges against them and outrage at the country’s latest instance of police brutality.
Memphis Police Director Cerelyn Davis described the officers’ actions as “heinous, reckless and inhumane,” and said Friday that her department has been unable to substantiate the reckless driving allegation that prompted the stop.
As a precaution, Memphis area schools canceled all after-class activities and postponed a school event scheduled for Saturday morning. Other early closures include the Memphis power company’s community offices and the University of Memphis. “Memphis has been known as a nonviolent city,” he said in an interview with The Associated Press on Friday. “We have tried to live the life and the legacy and teaching of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King. Any time any violence has ever happened in this city, more than likely it has come from the police. I pray that the police tonight will not be violent, and I pray that all goes well.”
“There’s other charges, so I’m all right with that,” he said, adding that he was “ecstatic” about how quickly the officers were fired and charged.
