The unit is composed of three teams of about 30 officers who target violent offenders in areas beset by high crime. It had been inactive since Nichols' Jan. 7 arrest.
The recording shows police savagely beating Nichols, a 29-year-old FedEx worker, for three minutes while screaming profanities at him in an assault that the Nichols family legal team has likened to the. Nichols calls out for his mother before his limp body is propped against a squad car and the officers exchange fist-bumps.
A Memphis police spokeswoman declined to comment on the role played by other officers who showed up at the scene. Davis acknowledged that the police department has a supervisor shortage and said the lack of a supervisor in the arrest was a “major problem.” City officials have pledged to provide more of them.
Security camera footage shows three officers surrounding Nichols as he lies in the street cornered between police cars, with a fourth officer nearby. The other officers then appear to hoist Nichols to his feet, with him flopping like a doll, barely able to stay upright.
