Memphis officials have released disturbing police footage of the arrest of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man who died in hospital three days after being violently detained during a traffic stop earlier this month.
The video shows the officers trying to use their Tasers on Mr Nichols, who then runs from the scene.
When the first group of officers hears over their radios that the young man has been caught, another is heard to say: "I hope they stomp his ass."
