The nearly two-minute-long clip shows Nichols, 29, happily skateboarding.
@FlyMai16/twitterFamily said he picked up the hobby during his time living in Sacramento, Calif., where he lived before moving to Memphis.@FlyMai16/twitter“We’ve had moments where we enjoyed the sunset, or where we were doing something that made us happy, whether it’s cutting some wood or gardening or doing something that may be unremarkable in the greater scheme of life, but it was remarkable in that it gave us peace. I felt like that is that was such a beautiful thing to capture and share.”.
The roughly hour-long footage shows five officers punching, kicking, pepper spraying, tasering and verbally assaulting Nichols during a routine traffic stop. The FedEx worker repeatedly claimed he “didn’t do anything” as the officers yelled at him and pushed him onto the group. Nichols escaped, but was recaptured just 100 yards from his family home.
