The city of Memphis has released graphic video of Tyre Nichols' arrest to the public.

Nichols died three days after the arrest.
The 29-year-old Black driver was pulled over on Jan. 7 by the Memphis police for reckless driving and a "confrontation" occurred, the department said. The police chief said the department has been unable to find anything that's substantiated the probable cause for reckless driving.

Martavius Jones, the chair of the Memphis City Council, was emotional discussing the newly released video of the deadly encounter between Tyre Nichols and Memphis police."We saw a man essentially die at the hands of police," he said.

Jones started crying when thinking about the footage, saying, "We all knew the fate of that young man."Asked for his reaction to the video, Jones was not initially able to get any words out. He turned away from the camera and covered his face before grabbing a tissue, shaking his head.
