five now-fired memphis officers are facing charges of second-degree murder, aggravated assault, kidnapping, misconduct, and oppression. we will go to memphis in moments where steve harrigan is standing by. first we turn to fox news chief breaking news correspondent trace gallagher. trace, what more have we learned about what happened that night? shannon, the video covers two separate scenes, but the first scene, the video picks up right before tyre nichols was pulled over for reckless driving. the thing is, we don t see any evidence of reckless driving or erratic driving. if police officers somehow fear that tyre nichols is posing a threat, the officers appear to violate protocol, which is to protect themselves and ask him to exit the vehicle. instead they go right up to the car, they pull him out, and immediately try to push into the ground. in the process, nichols is apparently pepper sprayed with some of the spray getting into the eyes of the officers on the scene, and t
