March 8 - . The city will make the material public sometime in the afternoon on its Vimeo page, Memphis Chief Legal Officer Jennifer Sink told a city council committee on Tuesday. The city will also release records regarding the completed administrative investigations into the killing of the 29-year-old, she said.
Sink said the new material includes 20 hours of video, but did not describe what it shows. Four shorter videosdid not reveal what led to the Jan. 7 traffic stop or shed light on what pandemics who responded to the incident were told by officers at the scene. The brutal treatment seen on the footage already made public transformed Nichols, described by friends as an affable skateboarder and student of photography who was also the father of a four-year-old, into the latest face of a U.S. racial justice movement galvanized by the 2020 killing of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minneapolis.
