On January 7 at approximately 8:30 p.m., officers pulled over a vehicle for suspected reckless driving, according to a statement from Memphis police.

"A confrontation occurred" between officers and the vehicle's driver -- later identified as Nichols -- who then fled on foot, according to Memphis police. Officers apprehended him and "another confrontation occurred," resulting in Nichols' arrest, police said.

An ambulance was called to the scene of the arrest after Nichols complained of shortness of breath, police said, and he was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition.

On January 10, three days after the stop, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation announced Nichols had died due to injuries sustained in the "use-of-force incident with officers," according to a statement.

Nearly three weeks after a traffic stop in Memphis, Tennessee, resulted in a violent arrest and subsequent death of a driver, police release footage from 4 recordings of the incident to the public.

Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man, was hospitalized after the arrest on January 7 and died three days later from injuries sustained, according to police. Five officers from the Memphis Police Department, who are also Black, were fired and face criminal charges.

EDIT: I added the video (#4) of him getting pulled over.

Everytime something like this happens I'm reminded of why I chose to live in a rural area where I don't need to worry about civil unrest over shit like this
