ABC News: Tyre Nichols 'a human pinata' for cops, attorney says after viewing bodycam footage

The video footage of Tyre Nichols' interaction with five Memphis police officers is "appalling," "deplorable," "heinous," "violent" and "troublesome on every level," Ben Crump, attorney for the Nichols family, said during a press conference Monday after viewing the bodycam video.

Nichols' family, along with attorneys Crump and Antonio Romanucci, viewed the body-camera footage Monday morning, facilitated by the Memphis Police Department and Memphis City administration.

The arrest video has not been released to the public.

"What he was in that [video] was defenseless the entire time," Romanucci said. "He was a human piñata for those police officers. It was unadulterated, unabashed, nonstop beating of this young boy for three minutes." Romanucci also mentioned that Nichols, who died January 10, was kicked during the footage.

According to Nichols' mother, Rowvaughn Wells, he was 2 minutes away from his home when he was pulled over, and less than 80 yards from the house when he was apprehended by the officers.

Rowvaughn told ABC News' Steve Osunsami that she could not watch the entire video.
