By Dean Moses, Ethan Stark-Miller, and Gabriele HoltermannamNY Sports email newsletterOutraged over video showing Tyre Nichols’ fatal beating at the hands of Memphis police officers, hundreds of New Yorkers took to the streets Friday night to decry the widely-condemned act of police brutality.
The Memphis Police Department released video footage Friday night of the beating, with five now-fired Memphis officers shown brutally beaten Nichols after a traffic stop. The mayor stated that he was briefed by the White House and also spoke with city politicians regarding the hour-long video he called disturbing to watch, vowing as a victim of police brutality himself to hold police accountable in the Big Apple.
“Once a person puts on that police uniform they are blue and identify as blue. These five men thought that because they were police officers, they would get away with murdering a man that was on his way home,” one protester said. “And these are police officers, some of them that were arrested, who had records of harming other people.”
