The 29-year-old appears to cry out repeatedly for his mother during the arrest in Memphis this month.
Footage of a traffic stop that has seen five ex-Memphis police officers charged with murder appears to show them taking turns to brutally kick and punch a motorist.
The videos show a Taser being used on Mr Nichols before he flees. Clips then show him being held down and beaten.Police initially said Mr Nichols had been stopped on suspicion of reckless driving, which has not been substantiated. He died in hospital three days later, on 10 January. A second video appears to show the view from a CCTV camera on a pole across the street of a residential area, as two officers hold Mr Nichols down while others take turns kicking and punching him and striking him with what appears to be a baton.
