The City of Memphis has released hours of new video footage related to the fatal beating of Tyre Nichols — 44 new clips in total. The release comes months after a judge ordered the footage be made public.
Like many of you, we at the TSD are . . . processing this news. While this new footage can certainly provide more details into what actually happened to Tyre Nichols, as far as I’m concerned we already know enough.

Like I said . . . processing. More to come in the coming days.
Before viewing, consider yourself warned, however. The video comes with this card on several of the videos:
Stay tuned . . .
