Protests erupted throughout the U.S. on Friday evening after body-camera video of a violent confrontation between Tyre Nichols, a Black motorist, and five police officers charged with murder for his death was released to the public

In a Tennessee grand jury indictment returned on Thursday, the five officers, all Black, were each charged with second-degree murder, assault, kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression in the death of Nichols, a 29-year-old father.

Nichols succumbed to injuries sustained from his encounter with police and died in hospital on Jan. 10, three days after he was pulled over while driving.
