"A video footage was released on Jan. 27, 2023, showing a deadly police beating of an African American man.
Protesters have since rushed to the streets in U.S. cities like Memphis, Washington, D.C., New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, shouting 'shame on this system.'
The hour-long video captured several police officers beating Tyre Nichols, 29, during a traffic stop on Jan. 7 in Memphis, Tennessee.
They allegedly stopped him for reckless driving. Nichols died three days later in a hospital due to cardiac arrest and kidney failure.
Director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation David Rausch said 'what happened here does not at all reflect proper policing. This was wrong. This was criminal.'
