Numerous protests are breaking out across the U.S. following Friday’s release of body camera footage of the killing of Tyre Nichols. All five officers involved in Nichols’ arrest were fired and charged with second-degree murder, assault and kidnapping earlier this week.
Protests in some cities led to the calling of the National Guard, while others affected transit.
In Memphis, Tenn., where Nichols died, protesters shut down the I-55 bridge, a major highway in the city, shortly after the video’s release. Officials also shut down Grand Central Station in anticipation of protests in New York City, where demonstrators can already be seen in Times Square.
