Community members take a stand ahead of the release of footage of Tyre Nichols' death

But even without the police body camera footage, independent autopsy results have indicated Nichols suffered extensive bleeding caused by a severe beating.

Here & Now host Jane Clayson checks in with the executive director of the NAACP Memphis branch Vickie Terry on how the community is reacting.
