Police chief Cerelyn Davis said she expected people 'to feel outrage in the disregard of basic human rights' when they watched the footage.
Days after Nichols' death, his family staged a protest in which they carried a placard with an image of him in hospital on oxygen, appearing bruised.
According to a letter sent by Jeff Bledsoe of the Tennessee Sheriffs' Association to the National Sheriffs' Association, which was published by News Channel 5, the body cam footage will be released in the afternoon of Friday, January 27. Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr. and Justin Smith have been fired by Memphis Police Department."What I saw on video today was horrific," Nichols' stepfather, Rodney Wells, said at the press conference."No father, mother should have to witness what I saw today."
Davis said she had met with Rowvaughn and Rodney Wells to offer her condolences, and Rodney had publicly urged activists to protest peacefully. Benjamin Crump, the family's attorney, said initial autopsy results suggested Nichols had suffered from extensive bleeding caused by a severe beating.
