Authorities are calling for calm in the face of the anticipated protests following the video’s release
The disturbing video footage, which was released in several parts, sheds light on the fatal events. In one video, which is from a police body camera, Nichols can be heard crying out “mom” as he was on the ground with officers surrounding him.
Nichols replied “I didn’t do anything” as they shout “get on the fucking ground”. One of the officers involved in the stop yelled “Tase him!” Nichols ran from the officers; the fatal beating unfolded when officers later apprehended him.Video from a camera attached to a light pole provided the broadest view of the beating. As Nichols, who appeared cuffed, remained on the ground, one officer kicked him in the head and then did so again.
None of the officers involved appeared to stop the beating or help Nichols. This video appears to show eight officers milling about as he languished against the car., but also across the rest of the US, officials had called for calm in the face of anticipated protests following the release of the video, which was expected to be graphic and brutal.
