Tyre Nichols protesters blocked traffic on a Memphis freeway Friday night after video was released showing police beating the young Black man as they attempted to arrest him.<\/p>\n

“Stand up, fight back,” the protesters chanted on the I-55 bridge, video captured by Fox News shows.<\/p>\n

Protesters gathered and marched after an hour of video footage was released showing police beat Nichols<\/a>. The 29-year-old was hospitalized after the encounter, but died three days later.<\/p>\n

“We shuttin’ it down,” one protester can be heard shouting.<\/p>\n

“By any means necessary,” another said.<\/p>\n

Memphis officers pulled Nichols from his vehicle in the middle of the road and attempted to detain him, the video shows. After a struggle, he eventually escaped on foot, but officers encountered him again in a residential neighborhood.<\/p>\n

There, police video showed the officers beating Nichols. He was hit with a baton multiple times and repeatedly struck in the head as officers shouted for him to “give us your hands.”<\/p>\n

Multiple times, Nichols called for his mother and shouted “stop.” Lawyers have said he was about 100 yards from his mothers house at the time.<\/p>\n

Nichols was ultimately handcuffed and was leaned up against a police car with his legs extended. He appeared unconscious and drooped to the ground.<\/p>\n

An officer in one video can be heard telling another that Nichols was driving into oncoming traffic and refused to pull over.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nichols was transported to a hospital and arrived in critical condition. He died three days later as a result of a “use-of-force incident with officers,” according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.<\/p>\n

Five police officers involved were charged<\/a> with second-degree murder, aggravated assault and additional felony charges.<\/p>\n

Nichols’ family as well as Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn Davis have urged protesters to remain peaceful<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
