Mom!” — as officers beat him less than 100 yards from his home, according to lawyers for his family who watched the police video with his parents for the first time Monday.

“A premature release could adversely impact the criminal investigation and the judicial process,” Police Chief Cerelyn Davis said in a statement Monday.

Crump said Shelby County’s district attorney told him and Nichols’s relatives that the video would not be released for another one to two weeks while the investigation is ongoing.

Nichols’s family has spent the nearly two weeks since his death in protest, rallying demands for the department to release surveillance and body-camera footage and calling for the officers to be criminally prosecuted.

The officers — Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills, Jr. and Justin Smith — each joined the department within the last five years.

Tennessee House Minority Leader Karen D. Camper (D), whose district includes much of Memphis, praised what she described as Davis’s “swift, decisive” action to fire the officers.
