I've never seen police departments around the country put out public statements asking people to stay calm before the video even comes out. The officials who have given public statements after seeing the video seem to have a distant look in their eyes when talking about it...

So uhh... I think I'm just gonna stay inside for a bit, as much as I can any way.

Them releasing it after working hours and having already fired the cops makes me think the video is going to be very very bad.

That didn't take long.

Presumptions aside, who cares? That's 5 shitty cops that will never be able to work as cops again and will be behind bars.

BBC was reporting that Memphis isn't even trying to prepare for protests/riots, so either the news is REALLY blowing the expected reaction out of proportion, or Memphis is gonna burn to the ground.

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-us-canada-64427257
It's a quiet and cold January day here in Memphis. The downtown of the city is completely empty. We're heading now to the intersection where the traffic stop happened with Tyre Nichols and police.

If there are going to be protests later, there are no signs yet. Businesses aren't boarded up, and there doesn't appear to be an increased police presence.

But police across the country are preparing for potential protests after the video of the incident is released later this evening. The video is allegedly being released later so that students have time get home safely from school.

DC police department has recalled officers from leave to be on alert from tonight - and other big cities have put out statements to prepare.

But for now, it's a quiet Friday day in Memphis. Nichols' mom said yesterday that if the public plans to protest, that her son would have wanted it to remain peaceful.

We'll be back later with more.

Not sure why this should be released for public..Let the family and police department watch..

This is going to only piss people off more than they already are..And parading the release date seems in bad taste..We know what happened the cops are screwed so why fuel the flames even more?

I agree. The general public really doesn't need to see every detail about everything.

Usually civil unrest happens because the consequences happen slowly or not at all, which is surprising that there would be riots because of this

Im not going to watch the video because why would I?

This. If the police didn't put out a video, or if they only put out a segment of the video, everyone would assume by default that they're hiding something or protecting an officer. The only way for that city to have any chance of moving past this is if all of the information is put out, in its entirety, such that criticism around the inevitable trial isn't flooded with conspiracy theories.
