in the story. i'm live in memphis, tennessee this morning. poppy is in new york, kaitlan is on assignment this morning. here's what we're waiting for any day now the video of tyre nichols being beaten by five police officers it could be released. this as we learn more about the man his family called a free spirited soul. plus this. the should have never happened. it was preventable. but had the school administrators acted in the interest of their teachers and their students abby would not have sustained a gun shot wound to the chest. >> the school superintendent has been ousted and the assistant principal has resigned. more fallout after a virginia teacher is shot by her 6-year-old student. this morning we're learning what was in the classified materials found at the former vice president mike pence's home. >> the department of

transportation is looking into what caused southwest airlines travel meltdown last month. this is what we begin with. memphis on edge this morning, the city is bracing for the release of police body cam video of officers beating tyre nichols after a traffic stop that turned deadly. we're waiting to see if officers involved will face charges. i have a warning for you, we're going to show you a photo of tyre nichols in his hospital bet before he died. his family has seen the body cam footage they say it's horrific. they demanding murder charges. they say officers beat tyre like a human pinata for several minutes. sara sidner joins us this morning. they're bracing for the video in memphis. the chief condemning what happened to tyre. this is an awful sorry all around. >> reporter: it is. because we have not seen the video and the public has not

seen the video, there is great concern here about what the response is going to be. but we do know that this was a vicious attack really on the part of these five officers. and there are a lot of questions. we heard from community members who told us that they're worried this place is going to blow. but the thing that has tempered some of this is the police chief's reaction that she quickly reacted, she fired the officers and the community and family are demanding charges. and those two things may tamp down emotions to see that something is finally being done in this case. the memphis police chief speaks out in a recorded statement making clear there will be absolute accountability for those responsible for the death of 29-year-old tyre nichols. >> this is not just a professional failing. this is a failing of basic humanity towards another individual. this incident was heinous,

reckless, and inhumane. >> reporter: tyre nichols died earlier this month after a vie lent arrest by five roofficers, five memphis police officers and two members of the memphis fire department have been terminated. the community anxiously awaits for the camera footage to be released. >> the family wants the most charge that they can bring and what they want are murder charges. >> reporter: attorneys for the family have already viewed the footage and an independent autopsy paid for by the family reveals tyre nichols died from, quote, extensive bleeding caused by a severe beating. >> i hate that us as black people are out here killing each other. >> that's right. >> for what? i don't know why. what happened to the humanity and kindness -- >> that's right. >> reporter: nickels was a

driver for fedex. he'll be remembered as a loving father and son. the baby of the family with a tattoo of his mother's name on his arm. >> nobody is perfect. nobody but my son was near. >> reporter: he liked to go to starbucks every morning where he befriended an unlikely group of people. one of those friends tell cnn he was a gentleman who marched to the beat of his own donalrum. a friend said this of him, he was his own person he didn't care he didn't fit into what a traditional black man was supposed to be in california. he had a free spirit and skating gave him his wings. >> for this to happen to him in his way, the pain is just -- it's just -- i have no words.

>> reporter: so we also heard from the police chief who said that, you know, the reason for the firing of the officers was use of excessive force, duty to intervene, they failed to do that and duty to render aid. there is a question about the two members of the fire department because if they were there as emergency services their duty is not to enforce the law, it is to save lives. the question is, why were they fired? if they were there to save lives and that's not what they did, they didn't take part, that leaves a nasty taste in people's mouths. last night i was able to go into the church where they are going to have the funeral on wednesday s . and the senior pastor of the church said their hearts are so heavy after sort of hearing about all of the details of this, and he's very worried about how the community is going

to respond, but they have been trying to be there for the community so they have an outlet for their emotions. >> there's a reason why they're waiting to release this video, why they're being so cautious about it. i think they're giving people time to absorb that it's going to be emotional and as you said, horrific, vicious i think were your words. so we'll see. and then to get some answers not only on the beating but also why these two members of the fire department. that's important. >> yeah. >> sara sidner has been covering this for us and will continue. we'll get back to new a moment. at least one person has died and two injured in kyiv, ukraine this morning after russia launched more than 30 missiles at the capital. that is an air-raid alert. it remains in place over the city. moscow's latest attack has forced many people there to seek shelter in the underground metro

system. remember the beginning images of the war, that is happening again. around 20 of the missiles have been intercepted and destroyed. the attacks come less than 24 hours after the united states and germany announce they would both send the battle tanks to ukraine. >> poppy, school officials in n newport news, virginia, failed to act after being notified a six-year-old had a gun. that's what the lawyer for the teacher who was shot alleged in a press briefing. watch. >> abby and these other teachers tried to do the right thing on january 6th, the day of the shooting. on that day, over the course of a few hours, three different times three times, school administration was warned by concerned teachers and employees that the boy had a gun on him at the school and was threatening

people. >> abby's attorney says just after 11:00 a.m. on january 6th,zwerner told an admi administrator the student threatened another student. and by noon, an administrator was told the 6-year-old had a gun in his backpack. at 12:30, an administrator was told a student reported seeing a gun at recess. following these allegations, the assistant principal resigned and the school board voted to sever fies with the superintendent. straight ahead on cnn this morning we're going to speak to a mother whose son was at school the day of the shooting. how it impacted her family and what she said needs to be done. also this morning the

transportation department said it's in the early stages of a probe into the southwest airlines holiday travel meltdown. pete muntean joins us. what investigation? >> reporter: they say this is going to be a rigorous and comprehensive investigation. up until now they were focus odd the back end meltdown of southwest. but now the focus seems to be shifting a little bit into whether or not southwest overextended itself in the first place and whether or not, by doing that, it broke the law, this is the new statement from the department of transportation. it says it's also probing whether southwest executives engaged in unrealistic scheduling of flights which under federal law is considered an unfair and deceptive practice. pete buttigieg said he's using the full extent of the

investigative and enforcement powers of the department of transportation. talking 16,700 flights cancelled by southwest between december 21st and december 29th. that means about 2 million passengers were impacted by this. the focus has been in many getting the refunds back to passengers about $400 million of 725 to $825 million this caused southwest to lose because of the meltdown. we're going to the out more today in a new financial filings from southwest airline. >> we got those numbers. they've posted a loss and warning more losses ahead. i know they said they'll cooperate, what is that mean? >> the interesting thing here is that southwest insists the skid yule and staffing were in the right place leading up to this. but southwest said our systems and processes became stressed working to recover from cancellations across 50 airports

is and we'll continue to operate with any inquiry. this is a really big focus by transportation secretary pete buttigieg he wants consumer advocacy here because passengers have dealt with so many cancellations and delays not only in 2022 but also 2021 and the question now is whether or not airlines recovering from the pandemic have overexcererted themselves. thank you very much. to a cnn exclusive this morning. learning more about the 12 classified documents discovered at mike pence's home in indiana. sources describe them as briefing binders prepared for pence's trips. sometimes they include basic information but sometimes they have more sensitive information. cnn is told the papers may have been overlooked as they would not have been visible unless the

packers went through the binders page by page. today president biden will try to leave the classified documents scandaled in the mirror here. mj lee is live at the white house with more. mj good morning to you. is this all one big move to distract from the document scandal? >> reporter: don, as you said, this is a speech that the white house is building the president's first major economic speech of the year and frankly one of the topics that the white house wishes the president could be talking about more. we know that in large part this will sound like a victory lap speech, he wants to be talking about, according to officials, things like job growth under his watch, the fact that wages are up, inflation appears to be moderating some and we know he intends to take on house republicans in particular as the white house tries to continue making that contrast between the

democratic economic agenda and what house republicans are wanting to do. we have to point out the political environment for president biden now for the next two years is incredibly different on capitol hill now that republicans do control the house. in order to get anything done, it is important that democrats at least work with some of the house republicans and the first big test of this that we are about to see is over the debt ceiling. house republicans have made clear what they need in return to raise the debt ceiling are deep spending cuttings and, of course, the white house has said we are not negotiating. so it is about to be crunch time come a couple of months because remember the treasury department said they probably have until only about early june or so for the so-called extraordinary measures to make sure the government is preventing itself from defaulting, essentially. this will be a major speech but, of course, the white house trying to turn back to bread and butter issues because the last few weeks they have been

distracted by the classified documents issue. don. >> mj lee at the white house for us. thank you. former president trump can once again post on facebook and instagram. meta announced that it will allow trump back on the platforms as long as he doesn't post about fraud in the next election cycle. trump was kicked off two years ago after posting this, these are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide victory is stripped away from great patriots who have been treated badly for so long. go home in love and peace, go home with love in peace. remember this day forever! mark zuckerberg saying the risk was too great. the company vowed to assess this in two years and they have done so they're letting him back on. joining us is sarah fisher, she had an exclusive interview with

nick clegg, and our own donie o'sullivan. we'll get to the interview with nick in a minute. let me ask you, at the time it was mark zuckerberg making the announcement, there's too great a risk with public safety. we can't cothis. now it's not mark zuckerberg it's a former uk diplomat making the announcement. is there any sort of objectivity here or bar he met the former president or a hope he won't do it again. >> the former deputy prime minister of the uk, nick clegg, who lost in 2017, now announcing the decision to put back on the platform this losing politician, donald trump losing the last election. this is a super subjective move. they're taking the mood, the pulse of the country saying we don't think by putting trump

back on there is an imminent risk to public safety or harm. nine minutes after facebook announced the news, oliver darcy pointed out last night that trump was posting on truth social stuff about the 2020 election. >> untrue stuff. >> yes. conspiracy theories claimis of election fraud. on the flip side of this, people say -- many people not to sound like trump many people are saying, but you know that he should be allowed back on the platform because a company kicking off a sitting president and now candidate for 2024 is something they shouldn't have the power to do. >> he is now a candidate, which changes the stakes here on people deciding if they're going to vote for him in 2024. my question to you, though, about this is it included in the folks who think facebook made the right decision is the aclu,

for example. >> yeah. >> what did you take away from your conversation with nick clegg? >> they came a long way instituting technologies to make it harder for things like donald trump or any world leader to go post to go viral. so if donald trump does things not totally volatile of their policies but controversy facebook is building tools the make it impossible to reshare the content and even if you follow donald trump you wouldn't see it in your feet and potentially take away the ability to run ads. >> so no one is going to see the lies? >> no one is going to see them. but if you want to go and look at them, they'll leave it up for public reasons. part of it is because they have this policy a newsworthiness policy. if a politician says something that's crazy, do we need to make it so you can't see it? maybe there's a news value in seeing that policy.

that's what they said. >> how politically important because i remember how much money the trump campaign spent on these targeted facebook ads. >> i think democrats would say the trump campaign is so good in 2016 and 2020 running these hyper targeted ads. spent hundreds of millions of dollars in the last election cycle. one thing when it comes to the lies he can post, we clarified with facebook, meta last night, trump can post lies, he can attack the 2020 election, and that's not going to break -- >> he can what? >> he can attack the 2020 election. he can continue to post conspiracy theories about the last election -- >> that have led to violence? >> yes. but he can't do it about the next election. i think the result is the same. still an attack on the election integrity of the u.s. >> yes and what it promps some pete to do how do they explain

that? >> it doesn't impact a future decision a voter may need to make. but a future election may have an outcome. if donald trump wants to attack the 2020 election yes, it's misinformation and they should reduce it in the feeds but it's not going to alter history. if he impacts a future election, it impacts the way a voter is thinking. but one thing i want to make clear, nick clegg said this is my responsibility and my decision. >> not mark zuckerberg. >> not mark zuckerberg. that's strategic. if you look at big tech companies they put people in power to take some of the heat away from the ceo. so that they can make the decisions without the ceo being called before congress, et cetera. now nick clegg, this is his first major decision politically as the president of global affairs. >> i think clegg is a lackey here. i think he's taking a hit for mark zuckerberg. >> founder, ceo, built the thing now not making the decision.

>> the buck still stops with zuck i think. >> everyone should look at your interview with nick clegg. don, back you. thank you, guys. back here in memphis officials and community leaders are bracing for what may come when officials release the video of tyre nichols being beaten by police officers. the exec tutive director of the memphis ncaa chapter will join me live next. >> i expect our citizens to exercise their first amendment right to protest, to demand action and results. but we need to ensure that our community is safe in this process. that actively cools, was and effortlessly responds to bothth of you. our smart sleepepers get 28 minutes more restful sleep per night. proven quality sleep. only from sleep number. what the buck? when every buck matters, it matters who does your taxes. trust the experts at jackson hewit

♪ we are back now, everyone. sorry we had a technical issue. we're live on location in memphis, sometimes that happens. so we turn to the looming release of this video showing a man being beaten by police, which proceeded his death. joining us is the executive director of the memphis naacp, she met with the members of the family. i'm so glad you could join us. you met with the family, you know the police chief. you're the perfect person to talk about this. i had to get some information from you. we have heard that possibly the officers are going to surrender. do you know anything about that?

have you heard that? >> i have heard it. and i'm thinking that is going to happen. >> some time today? >> um-hum. >> do you have any idea of what time? >> around 10:00 a.m. >> around 10:00 -- >> is what i'm told. >> memphis time. >> which would be 11 eastern. >> yes. so you know the chief, you know chief cj davis. she spoke out for the first time about this. >> yes. >> and gave a very, very important statement. i want to play it and get your response to it. >> okay. thank you. >> i expect you to feel outrage in the disregard of basic human rights as our police officers have taken an oath to do the opposite of what transpire d on the video. i expect our citizens to exercise their first amendment right to protest, demand action and results. but we need to ensure our community is safe in this process. >> so, being a member of a -- a

long-time member of the community have you ever heard the police chief come out and do ha? >> no, i haven't. i think she told me that was something she wanted to do to let the people know how horrified she was of this crime. >> that speaks to the nature of what's in the video. >> yes. >> what are you told is in the video? you spoke to the family members. >> i did, but they didn't go into details because of tech techni technicalities. >> but the fact the chief is coming out and saying this, taking their time releasing the statement which i feel they're preparing the community for what's to come, because otherwise they would release it if it wasn't so bad. >> right. >> if it in some way was questionable about what happened or exonerated the officers in any way, the fact they're waiting and being careful about it speaks to the nature of the

video. >> that's correct. >> what are you hearing about the video? >> i heard it was worse than the rodney king video, if i can say that much. go back and think about what happened years ago to rodney king. it's worse than that. i heard even ben crump say this is probably one of the worst things that he's -- act of violence he's seen. >> when you spoke to the family members what is the sentiment? what they saying and how are they doing? >> they want justice for their son and i think some of the last words he said was, what did i do? what did i do? and that mother was saying, what did my son do? what could he have done to deserve whatever he got? >> i just wonder, they said that the family wants justice. but they believe there should be murder charges for these five officers. >> yes, sir. that is right. that is correct. that is what they're asking the da to do, charge them with first degree murder.

>> the fact that the officers are all black, what does that say to you? >> it hurt me. it hurt my heart. i was very, very upset when i heard that, of course, regardless any color but just to have five african american officers to do this to a young man that weighed less than i do. he only weighed 145 pounds with them, five of them, to savagely beat him -- >> and he was over 6 feet tall but he had crohns disease so he didn't weigh a lot because of the illness. he was tall and slight in stature. >> yes. >> but the fact there are five officers and all black, i heard one prominent member of the community say they're all blue, meaning they're all police officers, they have the same training. >> that's right. i don't think it has anything to do with the training. i think just like police chief

davis said, they are trained very well. but the mentality they took on that night, i think there was a personal decision they made. i don't think it had anything to do with the training. >> what do you say to the community, this fear of unrest? >> there is. i think if it happens today and if the charges are brought to the officers, if it's not what the community thinks should happen, there might be -- >> you're worried? >> um-hum. >> are you worried? >> i'm not worried right now. i'm just praying it will be a peaceful protest. whatever happens, i hope it's peaceful. >> we thank you for your insights. appreciate you waking up early to come down. >> thank you. we'll follow any moment now, the video could be released any day now. as you hear from vicky terry here, the executive director of the local naacp. as you heard, those officers she

heard, expected to turn themselves in, 10:00 central time, 11:00 eastern. we'll be here reporting. >> that would be three hours from now. thanks, don. to the latest fallout in virginia after a 6-year-old child shot his teacher. the school board fired the superintendent in a 5 to 1 vote coming the same day the school's assistant principal resigned. the 25-year-old teacher was shot inside her classroom, the bullet went through her hand into her chest. she has been released from the hospital, she's now taking legal action against the school district. she claims on the day of the shooting, administrators disregarded multiple warnings that the child had a gun. >> on that day, over the course of a few hours, three different times, three times school administration was warned by concerned teachers and employees that the boy had a gun on him at the school.

and was threatening people. but the administration could not be bothered. this tragedy was entirely preventable. >> according to that woman, who is abby's attorney, just after 11:0 11:00 a.m., an administrator was told the child threatened another student. by noon another teacher said she believes that student put a gun in his pocket and had taken it out to recess. after 1:00 p.m. a third teacher reported a student said he showed him a gun. cnn reached out to the school district about those claims, officials have not commented yet. joining us is the mother of a

fifth grade student who was at school the day of the shooting. kasie, good morning. >> good morning. >> those officials are gone now, the superintendent and the a assistant principal. they are metal detecters at the school but with the level of complete disregard by the district, do you feel safe sending your son to school? >> we are trying to take it one day at a time. am i 100% comfortable sending him back, no. but i am hoping that the change in administration is going to make a difference, that they're going to listen to teacher concerns and take, you know, things a little more seriously now. >> you have a unique perspective. not only are you the parent of a fifth grader but you're an educator yourself. you spoke out at the town hall meeting about this last week. when you talk to your son -- >> yes. >> when you talk to our son

about this, how do you have that conversation with a fifth grader? >> it's a hard conversation to have. you never think that it's going to be your kid, your school. we've tried to talk about it and i don't push the issue. if he wants to talk about it, we talk about it. and i just -- i really want what's best for him and i want him to feel safe at his school. >> talk about what your child did that day. >> that day i was at work. i work about 45 minutes away from where we live. i got a text message from him that said mom there's a lockdown, i'm scared. i told him, hold on, let me figure out what's going on. i love you. then after that i started to get phone calls from family and friends, letting me know that there was a shooting at his school and at that point, that was the only information we had. so i left work to get here.

i called my husband and he met me over at the school while we waited. >> have you had any concerns about the school district and school officials not heeding warning signs about this child in particular who had, according to his family, severe behavioral issues, had to be for a long time accompanied by one of his parents within the classroom? huh had any indications that warnings were not heeded about him or any other threats? >> i don't think that the administration particularly, at that school, listened. i know there had been several complaints previously in regards to this particular student but i do know that other teachers have had behavior problems as well and they have not been listened to. >> kasey sypolt thank you very much. it's impossible to have to try to explain this to your child.

we wish you luck as kids do head back to school there. thanks again. >> thank you so much. don? poppy, straight ahead the tense moments a woman was rescued from a carjacker. plus, the renewed calls for better travel accommodations for wnba players. we're going to talk about this wild moment also. >> this is going to be the turnover -- >> there he is right there. >> yeah. >> this guy is actually -- who's he delivering it too? the ref? >> the ref said give it to me later.

newly released dash cam video captures a dramatic rescue at the end of a wild police chase in wisconsin. a woman is sleeping in the back

of the car when her husband gets out to go into the store. the victim woke up after a suspect jumped into the car and took off. listen to this conversation she with the jcarjacker. i'm scared, you should go back. >> i will. >> you're not. >> i'm turning around. >> you're not turning around. this chase came to an end after the police used a technique used to force a fleeing car to turn sideways. the victim walked away unharmed, the suspect is free on bond, police say he told them he was on drugs at the time. my goodness. in sports this morning, brianna stuart is taking it upon herself to try to improve travel conditions for players across the wnba.

stuart is hoping to get rid of wnba rules forcing teams to travel under commercial flights. tweeting i would love to be part of a deal to subsidize private charter. i would contribute my nil to ensure we prioritize player health and safety which ultimately results in a better project. let's discuss now, bamani jones. good morning to you. let's talk about this. several nba stars signalled their support by responding to stuart's tweet with the hands up emojis. this how issue has come up seve times in recent years. should they be publically campaigning for this right now? >> they absolutely should be. i think there's a bit of a

dilemma at play with this. this is an issue with major league soccer had a few years ago, it has become standard, at least in the minds of professional athletes that you fly private and flying commercial is not good. it's worth noting as we know more about the effect flying has on the body it's probably the cost of doing business you should fly private but the problem is, the same reason those teams don't fly private, it costs a lot of money to do that. however if a team can't afford to pfly the players private cant afford they don't need to own the team. the leagues have it said in order to protect the owners that ain't got that much money they

should not fly private and if the owners can't afford to do it they should sell to someone richer. >> players of the nba have been speaking up, ky row irving is oe of them. this is what they said last night. >> i wish it was easy as getting it tomorrow but our ladies have been patient long enough we have to get something done. i'm with them no matter how much it costs. i think we all come together and make something very doable happen. >> what is stopping the nba from getting it done? is it the rules that you mentioned before? >> they are the rules. they set the rules. the issue is money. this costs a lot of money. what i think has happened with the leagues and i've seen people make the point is that college athletes grow asusccustomed to flying charter in college but

the reason is you have a booster do you want to flying in my plane. but they don't have to have the rules in place, the rules are there to protect the owners. i've been on a flight before with the wnba team they play the game the night before, getting on the plane the next day, playing a game the same night and they're all walking on the plane, getting behind me. you think about people their height sitting there cramped in a middle seat and they're supposed to play a game that night. that's ridiculous on its face. so they need to figure out how to come up with the money and if it's a loss, i think it's the cost that's necessary for them to do business in an optimal way. >> you're right. i have to jump on a plane a lot, you don't get much sleep. i can't imagine having to play a professional basketball game, high intensity basketball game after flying commercial and waiting and delays on the runway. you know what happens. before you go, i got to ask you

about this crazy video because i was like, waiting, is this team being punked. this is duquesne men's basketball game. a mcdonald's food delivery guy walked on the court. the ref had to call a delay of game. we reached out to the school, have not heard back. is this real or is this a stunt? what's up this with this? >> i have a hard time believing it's a stunt did you if you have to put in an if i'm an uber eats driver and say somebody ordered mcdonald's and i can get through all the different levels of usher? that is an incredible way to get in on the cheap. i think that we all need to give that run. >> i feel like we're going to see this like on a late night talk show that this guy was part of a team or something, hired to

do this so it could be a joke. we'll get to the bottom of it. but thank you. and i need to tell everyone, make sure you tune into game theory streaming season two on hbo max right now. okay. so there is fear and confusion. we'll go live in florida next hour with a reaction to the new law that requires classroom books to be pre-approved. . >> i would not suggest banning books, it is a slippery slope. this is good literature with value. >> tech: when you have auto glass damage, trust safelite. thisis dad and daughter were driving when they got a crack in their windshield.

they also discovered a cache of weapons and ammunition inside his home. now this -- good morning, we're live in memphis as the city awaits the release of a video showing police officers beating a man during a traffic stop that preceded his death. this morning the police chief is speaking out. opening statements under way in the trial of the former lawyer accused of killing his wife and son, the new evidence revealed including a phone call he made shortly after the murders. superintendent and assistant principal out this morning after it is revealed the school where a teacher was shot by a 6-year-old allegedly ignored dire warnings. >> seems like everybody is bringing home classified documents like they were ketchup packets. national archives may now ask former presidents and vice presidents to check their files. and despite russia warning of nuclear war, new moves by the u.s. and its allies may show the west no longer fears puvladimir

putin's threats. cnn this morning starts right now. and we begin here in memphis where police could soon release body cam video from the beating of tyree nichols. and just last hour, head of the local naacp branch told us that criminal charges could be coming this morning against the officers and in a few hours they may turn themselves in. we'll talk to you about that. and warning now, we're about to show you a photo of tyree nichols in the hospital before he died. his family and their attorneys have already seen the body cam footage. they say the video is horrific and that it shows officers kicking tyree, pepper spraying him and using a stun gun while tyree repeatedly asks them what did i do. the memphis police chief cj davis has already fired the five officers involved. she says the beating was heinous

and inhumane. davis addressed her community last night. watch. >> this stincident was heinous, inhumane. and when the video is released in the coming days, you will see this for yourselves. i expect you to feel outrage in the disregard of basic human rights as our police officers have taken an oath do the opposite of what transpired on the video. i expect our citizens to exercise their first amendment right to protest, to demand action, and results. but we need to ensure our community is safe in this process. >> so let's bring in now sara sidner and shimon prokupecz, they have been following this story from the very beginning. good morning to you both. thank you for -- we're standing here waiting to see what happens. we're in front of city hall. the video supposedly is

horrific, we've been getting all indications of that. you can talk to us about the investigation and when will that video be released? >> in terms of the state investigation, it seems that they are at a point where they are complete with their investigation. the d.a. said that he was waiting to finish interviews with witnesses, and then they were going to release the video. the big thing that we're all waiting for right now is word on whether or not these officers are going to face charges. there seems to be an effort here to warn people, give people some notice that this video was going to come out to kind of prepare the community. the family has already seen the video. but they really want to prepare the community for what they are about to see. >> what did you hear about the police chief ahead of releasing a video making a statement like that? that is a strong -- >> strong statement in terms of how concerning it was for her to see this video, to see the actions of these officers. the way they treated tyree nichols. and how inhumane, she used the word inhumane. so that is very signific
