A small group of protesters gathered at City Hall Friday night to denounce the brutal beating and death of Tyre Nichols.
After investigators viewed the footage earlier this month, the five officers involved in the case were fired and later charged with second-degree murder.
"I think the mood is very frustrating and enraged, but also sad. I mean, someone lost their life at the hands of police," said Talia Giles. She’s one of the organizers and says she's not sure if she'll watch the video. "As a way of showing respect for Tyre and anyone who has been a victim of police terror, whether they're alive or whether they've passed away that we have not forgotten them," said Giles.
