Ex-Memphis officers face trial in death of Black motorist Tyre Nichols
Briefly

The former police officers are charged with depriving Tyre Nichols of his rights through excessive use of force, failure to intervene and obstruction of justice for conspiring to cover up what happened.
Disturbing surveillance and body cam video shows the officers, all also Black, using pepper spray and a taser on Nichols after a traffic stop. Nichols can be heard saying he didn't do anything wrong.
Nichols cries out for his mother several times. He's left visibly and audibly struggling on the ground as more law enforcement arrives at the scene. Nichols, 29, died three days later.
I'm curious to see how they're going to try to maneuver out of this, because the video don't lie, says RowVaughn Wells. 'Thank God for that skycam video,' adds Rodney Wells.
