STORYLINE:
Protesters hit the streets in some U.S. cities following the release of footage Friday night showing a deadly police beating of an African American man.
The hour-long video captured several police officers beating Tyre Nichols, 29, during a traffic stop on Jan. 7 in Memphis, Tennessee, where they allegedly stopped him for reckless driving.
The officers pepper-sprayed and shocked Nichols with Taser while they can also be seen beating the motorist with a baton and kicking and punching him. Nichols, subdued, kept yelling "mom."
Nichols died three days later in a hospital after the confrontation due to cardiac arrest and kidney failure.
