Cam footage released of US police killing motorist

Footage of a traffic stop that has seen five ex-Memphis police officers charged with murder, shows them kicking and punching a motorist, for several minutes, as he cries out for his mother.

Officers are seen beating Tyre Nichols, 29, in the videos from the 7 January arrest, with no signs of him resisting.US President Joe Biden said he was “deeply pained” by the “horrific” clip.

Lawyers for Nichols’ family likened the assault to the 1991 police beating of Los Angeles motorist Rodney King.
