Memphis is bracing for the release of police bodycam footage showing the arrest and killing of Tyre Nichols

Five former police officers in Memphis, TN, have been charged with murder, aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct, and official oppression.

Ahead of the footage's release, Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn Davis warned:

"You're going to see a disregard for human life."

The video will be uploaded to YouTube in four separate clips sometime after 6 p.m. CT Friday. Surveillance video from the neighborhood will accompany the body camera footage.

How do you feel about the video?
