Authorities in Memphis, Tennessee, are preparing for intense public blowback as they prepare to release "heinous" police body camera footage depicting the events that led to the death of Tyre Nichols.

Mr Nichols, 29, died three days after Memphis police pulled him over for alleged reckless driving on 7 January. A pair of "confrontations" occurred, according to the police, that resulted in Mr Nichols complaining of shortness of breath and requiring hospitalisation. He died in the hospital three days later.
