“I didn’t do anything,” Nichols replies.

A scuffle ensues, with an officer shouting “Go to the shitty field!”

“Okay, I’m down!” Nicholas said.

Police had said Nichols would have been arrested for reckless driving, but Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn “CJ” Davis said early Friday morning that an investigation and review of available camera footage found ” no proof” of this.

Officers are seen pinning Nichols to the ground in the side while grabbing his arms and giving him conflicting orders.

Nichols is sprayed with pepper spray several times during his second encounter with officers.

“Shut up !” an officer shouts at Nichols.

Two officers are seen above Nichols, who is lying on the sidewalk.

“Give me your hands!” the officers tell Nichols.

Nichols appears to shield his face as officers begin punching and slapping him.

“Do you want to get sprayed again?” an officer said to Nichols.

Nichols yells, “Mom!” Many times. Police caught up with Nichols in a neighborhood – less than 80 yards, her mother said, from her home.

Meanwhile, officers stand around the scene and discuss the violent arrest.

“I hit that man with so many pieces,” an officer told the group.

At least two officers are heard alleging that Nichols tried to seize one of their firearms. Bodycam footage reviewed by NBC News showed any indication that Nichols was looking for their weapons. The authorities have also not confirmed this account.

An officer claims that during the initial traffic stop, he repeatedly tried to get Nichols to stop driving.

“This man rolled over, swerved like he was going to hit my car. So I was like, what the fuck do we do?” said the officer.

“He stopped at a red light, stopped at a red light, put on his blinker,” the officer added.

The officer said he jumped out of his car and “S*** went from there.”

A few minutes later, the two doctors begin to attend to Nichols. EMS and EMT ambulances are also seen arriving at the scene.

The following

Nichols was hospitalized in critical condition after the encounter and died three days later.

Five officers involved in the case – Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr. and Justin Smith – have been fired after an administrative investigation found they violated department policy on the use of strength.

The fired officers were charged Thursday with second-degree murder, two counts of official misconduct, two counts of aggravated kidnapping, one count of official oppression and one count of aggravated assault.

At Friday’s press conference, Nichols’ family and attorneys praised the speed of the charges and the investigation.

“We are looking at how quickly the district attorney brought charges against them in less than 20 days. Then we want to proclaim that this is the blueprint for any time officers, whether black or white, will be held accountable,” Crump said.

All five were released from jail after posting bail on Friday morning. Bean, Mills and Smith posted $250,000 bond; Haley and Martin posted $350,000 bond.
