Authorities in Memphis, Tenn., say the three-minute video — already likened to the explosive 1991 police beating of Rodney King — will be released after 7 p.m. eastern time.
Rodney Wells, Nichols’ stepfather, says he wants people to go out and protest once they see the video, but he is urging them to do so peacefully and safely.
The officers each face charges of second-degree murder, aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression. All five officers — Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Desmond Mills Jr., Emmitt Martin III and Justin Smith — were taken into custody, but at least four of them had posted bond and been released Friday.
“Think about the weight of a kidnapping charge being brought against officers who are wearing a badge, a shield, carrying weapons on their duty belt, acting under the cover of law,” Romanucci said.
