(AP) \u2014 Video showing five Memphis officers beating a Black man was made public Friday, one day after they were charged with murder in the death of Tyre Nichols.<\/p>\n<p>The footage shows Nichols being held down, struck by the Black officers and screaming for his mother as the police savagely beat the 29-year-old FedEx worker for three minutes. The Nichols family legal team has likened the assault to the infamous 1991 police beating of Los Angeles motorist Rodney King.<\/p>\n<p>Cities across the country braced for large demonstrations. Nichols\u2019 relatives urged supporters to protest peacefully.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis 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 &#8230; acted in concert with each other,&#8221; said attorney Antonio Romanucci, who represents Nichols\u2019 family.<\/p>\n<p>The officers &#8220;acted together &#8230; to inflict harm, terrorism, oppression of liberty, oppression of constitutional rights, which led to murder,&#8221; Romanucci said.<\/p>\n<p>Memphis Police Director Cerelyn Davis described the officers&#8217; actions as \u201cheinous, reckless and inhumane,\u201d and said that her department has been unable to substantiate the reckless driving allegation that prompted the stop.<\/p>\n<p>She told The Associated Press in an interview that there is no video of the traffic stop that shows Nichols recklessly driving.<\/p>\n<p>During the initial stop, the video shows the officers were \u201calready ramped up, at about a 10,\u201d she said. The officers were \u201caggressive, loud, using profane language and probably scared Mr. Nichols from the very beginning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know something h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened prior to this officer or these officers getting out of their vehicles \u2026 Just knowing the nature of officers, it takes something to get them amped up, you know, like that. We don\u2019t know what happened,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll we know is the amount of force that was applied in this situation was over the top,\u201d Davis said.<\/p>\n<p>Given the likelihood of protests, Davis told ABC that she and other local officials decided it would be best to release the video later in the day, after schools are dismissed and people are home from work.<\/p>\n<p>Nichols&#8217; mother, RowVaughn Wells, warned supporters of the \u201chorrific\u201d nature of the video but pleaded for peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want us burning up our city, tearing up the streets, because that\u2019s not what my son stood for,\u201d she said Thursday. \u201cIf you guys are here for me and Tyre, then you will protest peacefully.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the White House, President Joe Biden said Friday that he was \u201cvery concerned\u201d about the prospect of violence and called for protests to remain peaceful.<\/p>\n<p>Biden said he spoke with Nichols&#8217; mother earlier in the day and told her that he was going to be \u201cmaking a case\u201d to Congress to pass the George Floyd Act \u201cto get this under control.\u201d The legislation, which has been stalled, is meant to tackle police misconduct and excessive force and boost federal and state accountability efforts.<\/p>\n<p>FBI Director Christopher Wray said he was \u201cappalled\u201d by the video and that all FBI field officers have been alerted to work with state and local partners, including in Memphis, \u201cin the event of something getting out of hand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Court records showed that all five former officers \u2014 Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Desmond Mills Jr., Emmitt Martin III and Justin Smith \u2014 were taken into custody.<\/p>\n<p>The officers each face charges of second-degree murder, aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression. Four of the five officers had posted bond and been released from custody by Friday morning, according to court and jail records.<\/p>\n<p>Martin\u2019s lawyer, William Massey, and Mills\u2019 lawyer, Blake Ballin, said their clients would plead not guilty. Lawyers for Smith, Bean and Haley could not be reached.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo one out there that night intended for Tyre Nichols to die,\u201d Massey said.<\/p>\n<p>Second-degree murder is punishable by 15 to 60 years in prison under Tennessee law.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Yoes, the national president of the Fraternal Order of Police, condemned the alleged actions of the Memphis officers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe event as described to us does not constitute legitimate police work or a traffic stop gone wrong. This is a criminal assault under the pretext of law,&#8221; Yoes said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Rallies and demonstrations were planned Friday night in Memphis, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, New York City, Portland, Oregon and Washington.<\/p>\n<p>New York Mayor Eric Adams, a former police officer, said he and other mayors across the country had been briefed by the White House in advance of the video\u2019s release, which he said would \u201ctrigger pain and sadness in many of us. It will make us angry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Romanucci and civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who also represents Nichols&#8217; family, called on the police chief to disband the department\u2019s so-called scorpion unit focused on street crime.<\/p>\n<p>Nichols \u201cat all times was an innocent victim,\u201d Romanucci said Friday. &#8220;He did nothing wrong. He was caught up in a sting. This scorpion unit was designed to saturate under the guise of crime fighting, and what it wound up doing instead was creating a continual pattern and practice of bad behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davis said other officers are still being investigated for violating department policy. In addition, she said \u201ca complete and independent review\u201d will be conducted of the department\u2019s specialized units, without providing further details.<\/p>\n<p>Two fire department workers were also removed from duty.<\/p>\n<p>As state and federal investigations continue, Davis promised the police department\u2019s \u201cfull and complete cooperation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Crump said the video showed that Nichols was shocked, pepper-sprayed and restrained when he was pulled over near his home. He was returning home from a suburban park where he had taken photos of the sunset.<\/p>\n<p>Relatives have accused police of causing Nichols to have a heart attack and kidney failure. Authorities have said only that Nichols experienced a medical emergency.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>Associated Press reporters Aaron Morrison in New York; Travis Loller in Nashville, Tennessee; and Rebecca Reynolds in Lexington, Kentucky, contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
