White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Friday said President Joe Biden has been briefed about Tyre Nichols' encounter with police but neither he nor White House officials have seen the video.
Jean-Pierre said that Biden was joining Nichols family's call for peaceful protest. She added that the moment underscored the need for Congress to pass legislation addressing policing reform. Biden unsuccessfully pushed for a sweeping legislation, known as the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, earlier in his term.
"Today, we all must recommit ourselves to the critical work that must be done to advance meaningful reforms," Jean-Pierre said. "Tyre's death is a painful reminder that we must do more to ensure that our criminal justice system lives up to the promise of fair and impartial justice, equal treatment, and dignity for all."
Authorities on Friday were set to release police video depicting five Memphis officers beating a Black man whose death resulted in murder charges and provoked outrage at the country's latest instance of police brutality.
Family members of Tyre Nichols pleaded for any protests to remain peaceful.
The officers, all of whom are Black, were charged Thursday with murder and other crimes in the killing of Nichols, a motorist who died three days after a Jan. 7 confrontation with the officers during a traffic stop.
Nichols' family members and their lawyers said the footage shows officers savagely beating the 29-year-old FedEx worker for three minutes in an assault that the legal team likened to the infamous 1991 police beating of Los Angeles motorist Rodney King.

US: protests break out in Memphis after video shows police beating Tyre Nichols

The video is filled with violent moments showing the officers, who are also Black, chasing and pummeling Nichols and leaving him on the pavement propped against a squad car

Protests flared up all around the US including in Memphis as the video of Tyre Nichols being beaten was released.
Memphis authorities released video footage Friday showing Tyre Nichols being beaten by police officers who held the Black motorist down and repeatedly struck him with their fists, boots and batons as he screamed for his mother and pleaded, "I just want to go home."
The video is filled with violent moments showing the officers, who are also Black, chasing and pummeling Nichols and leaving him on the pavement propped against a squad car as they fist-bumped and celebrated their actions.
The footage emerged one day after the officers were charged with murder in Nichols' death.

A fresh conviction was handed out in the George Floyd murder case which sparked widespread Black Lives Matter protests in USA.
On 7 July, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was sentenced to 21 years in prison for violating Floyd's civil rights. Chauvin had earlier been sentenced to 22 and a half years in jail for murder and manslaughter.
On May 25, 2020, Chauvin had killed African-American Floyd by pinning him to the ground for over 9 minutes even as the latter said that he was unable to breathe. During the July 7 hearing, Chauvin said that he wishes the best for George Floyd's children but did not issue a direct apology.
Chauvin had earlier signed a plea deal which allows the two jail sentences to run concurrently. He will also be transferred from a Minnesota state prison to a federal incarceration facility where he would be safer and under less-restrictive conditions, as per experts.

The intersection where George Floyd died at the hands of Minneapolis police officers was renamed in his honour on Wednesday, among a series of events to remember a man whose killing forced America to confront racial injustice.
With Congress deadlocked over how to address racism and excessive use of force, President Joe Biden signed an executive order on policing Wednesday, the second anniversary of George Floyd's death.
The decision reflects Biden's struggle to use the limited powers of his office to advance his campaign promises, as well as his attempt to strike a balance between police and civil rights groups at a time when rising concerns about crime are eclipsing calls for reform.
Most of the order is focused on federal law enforcement agencies — for example, requiring them to review and revise policies on use of force. It would also create a database to help track officer misconduct, according to the White House.
Although the administration cannot require local police departments to participate in the database, which is intended to prevent problem officers from hopping from job to job, officials are looking for ways to use federal funding to encourage their cooperation.
In addition, the order would restrict the flow of surplus military equipment to local police.
In September, the Justice Department curtailed federal agents' use of no-knock warrants — which allow law enforcement agents to enter a home without announcing their presence — and updated its policy to prohibit agents from using chokeholds in most circumstances.
But extending such rules to local police is more challenging, and White House officials have spent months in negotiations with civil rights groups and police organizations.
The resulting set of policies is less extensive than originally sought, not to mention delayed by a year.

 A Michigan police officer struggling with a Black man over a Taser pulled out his gun and fatally shot him in the head while the motorist was face down on the ground, according to videos of the April 4 confrontation released Wednesday.
Patrick Lyoya, 26, was shot outside a house in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The white officer repeatedly demanded that Lyoya “let go” of the officer's Taser. At one point, he said, “drop the Taser!” Police Chief Eric Winstrom released four videos, including cellphone footage recorded by a passenger in the car driven by Lyoya on the rainy morning.
“I view it as a tragedy. ... It was a progression of sadness for me,” said Winstrom, a former high-ranking Chicago police commander who became chief in March.
Video shows Lyoya running from the scene after an officer stopped him for driving with a license plate that didn't belong to the vehicle. They struggled on the front lawn of a few homes in a Grand Rapids neighborhood while Lyoya's passenger got out and watched.
City Manager Mark Washington warned that the videos would lead to “expressions of shock, of anger and of pain.” The chief declined to release the officer's name.
“I'm going to treat the officer like I would anybody else," Winstrom said. "We don't name suspects. If the officer is charged with a crime we will name him at that time.” More than 100 people marched to Grand Rapids City Hall before a City Commission meeting Tuesday night, chanting “Black lives matter” and “No justice, no peace.” Winstrom last week said he met Lyoya's father, Peter Lyoya, and that they both cried.
“I get it as a father. ... It's just heart-wrenching," the chief told WOOD-TV.
Kent County's chief medical examiner, Dr. Stephen Cohle, said he completed the autopsy on the day of Lyoya's death, but that toxicology results haven't been completed. He said the full report would not be released until state police complete an investigation.
“This is the standard operating procedure,” Cohle said.
As in many U.S. cities, Grand Rapids police have been occasionally criticized over the use of force, particularly against Black people, who make up 18% of the population.
In November, the Michigan Supreme Court heard arguments in a lawsuit over the practice of photographing and fingerprinting people who were never charged with a crime. Grand Rapids said the policy changed in 2015.
A downtown street has been designated Breonna Taylor Way, named for the Black woman and Grand Rapids native who was killed by police in Louisville, Kentucky, during a botched drug raid in 2020.

Comey slams Trump's comment on white supremacist groups

James Comey, former FBI Director has said that Donald Trump's inability to condemn white supremacist groups is like "spraying gasoline with a fire hose".
Comey was responding to questions before a Senate judiciary committee,&nbsp;on&nbsp;how Trump's statements affect the FBI's ability to fight threats from far-right groups.
The US has witnessed continued countrywide protests under the Black Lives Matter&nbsp;banner over the last 4 months, many of which turned violent.

BITE:&nbsp;
"The FBI is fighting a fire of racist violence, and with words like that, the President is using a fire hose to spray gasoline on that fire. And as I, maybe he misspoke, maybe when he said stand down and stand by he meant something else. I sure hope for the sake of our whole country, he'll say that today what he really meant to condemn these groups."
