and that was the part that was really disheartening. the fact that you have been under oath, to protect and serve the citizens of. memphis and that did not happen. the decision to release this video, on a friday evening, was made because schools were out, businesses were closed, as opposed to another day of the week, or another time. what was your reaction to this video when you first saw it? emotions were raw, extremely raw. they spans the gamut, span the spectrum, it was deeply disturbed when i heard that mr. nichols call for his mother. when i heard him ask or say, what did i. do and then i became outraged when i saw the officer standing around doing. nothing when i saw them punch, i m and repeatedly kick, and really beaten. and he was not fighting back, he was almost helpless,, so i became outraged. because at that point, they have nine, ten officers on the scene.
