Several former Durham police officers are defending proactive policing units in aftermath of Tyre Nichols' death. Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn "CJ" Davis served as Durham's police chief from June 2016 to June 2021. Similar units existed before, during and after Davis' tenure in Durham.

GUESTS OF HONOR WITH THE CONGRESSIONAL BLACK CAUCUS. >> AT THE HELM IN MEMPHIS IS CHIEF CJ DAVIS, A FAMILIAR NAME AND FACE WHO USED TO LEAD THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN DURHAM. CHIEF DAVIS IS GETTING SOME PRAISE FOR HER HANDLING OF THE SITUATION, BUT ALSO SOME CRITICISM FOR HER CREATION OF THE SPECIALIZED UNIT TO WHICH THE OFFICERS WERE ASSIGNED WRAL'S DURHAM REPORTER SARAH KRUEGER IS LIVE FROM THE BERT. THE DURHAM POLICE DEPARTMENT AND SARAH, DID SHE HAVE A SIMILAR UNIT THERE? MICHELLE? SHE DID, BUT IT IS NOT UNIQUE TO HER. TODAY I'VE SPOKEN WITH A NUMBER OF CURRENT AND FORMER DURHAM POLICE OFFICERS. THEY SAY WHEN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS HAPPEN IN MEMPHIS, THOSE TYPES OF TEAMS, THOSE TARGETED TEAMS CAN GET A LOT OF CRITICISM. >> THEY BELIEVE THAT IS UNFAIR. >> THE OFFICERS INVOLVED IN THE KILLING OF TYREE NICHOLS IN MEMPHIS WERE ON A SPECIALIZED TEAM CALLED SCORPION. IT'S A PROACTIVE UNIT THAT TARGETS HIGH CRIME AREAS. A SIMILAR TEAM DOES EXIST IN DURHAM AND HAS FOR DECADES DURING BEFORE AND AFTER CHIEF ABOUT 2012. I THINK THE 2015 I WAS THE COMMANDER OF THE SERGEANT OF RETIRED NOW, BUT HE OVERSAW ONE OF THOSE UNITS FOR A FEW YEARS ARE VERY >> WE MADE A LOT OF DIFFERENCE AND HE UNDERSTANDS WHY THEY ARE COMING UNDER SCRUTINY AFTER WHAT HAPPENED IN MEMPHIS. SO THE THING IS WHEN YOU PAINT SOME OF THE BROAD BUT BRUSH TO PAINT OVER EVERYTHING, THE GOOD AND THE BAD IN DURHAM. HE SAYS THE TEAMS ARE AFFECTIVE WITH THAT TYPE OF UNIT WERE ABLE TO FOCUS ON THOSE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS AND DEAL WITH HIM DIRECTLY AS A PATROL OFFICER COMES IN HERE. SHE IS TIRED OF ANSWERING RADIO CALLS FOR 12 HOURS. A SENTIMENT ECHOED BY LARRY SMITH WHO ALSO WORKED AT DPD FOR DECADES, RISING TO THE RANK OF INTERIM CHIEF. THOSE ARE REALLY GOOD POLICE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS. >> AS WELL AS A PROACTIVE POLICING TEAM, WHICH IS IMPORTANT. BOTH FORMER OFFICERS SAY IT'S NOT THE TEAM'S MISSION, BUT RATHER THE CULTURE THAT CAN DICTATE HOW SUCCESSFUL AGING IS IN DURHAM. THEY BELIEVE THE CULTURE WOULD NEVER BE ANYTHING LIKE WHAT HAPPENED IN MEMPHIS WHO HAVE GREAT SUPERVISION. IF YOU HAVE GOT IS YOU HAVE LEADERSHIP. IF YOU HAVE ORGANIZATION THEN THAT ROUTE. SO THINGS OUT RIGHT NOW, DPD CALLS ITS PROACTIVE POLICING UNIT CAT CRIME AREA TARGET TEAM. >> MAYOR PRO TEM MARK-ANTHONY MIDDLETON SAYS HE WILL BE ASKING THE CITY ADMINISTRATION TO EXAMINE ITS OPERATIONS. BUT I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR, NO MATTER HOW YOU CONFIGURE AND DEPLOY OFFICERS, IF YOU HAVE OFFICERS THAT ARE PREDISPOSED THIS TYPE OF VIOLENCE AND BEHAVIOR, OFFICERS LIKE THAT ARE GOING TO BE A PROBLEM WHEREVER YOU PUT THEM. >> AND CHIEF DAVIS SERVED AS CHIEF HERE AT DPD FROM 2016 TO 2021 TODAY I HAVE SPOKEN WITH A NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO WORKED WITH HER AND FOR HER. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING BUT THE HIGHEST OF PRAISE. MICHELLE SARAH

Video shows Memphis police officer officers brutally beating Tyre Nichols

Video shows Memphis police officer officers brutally beating Tyree Nichols

People WRAL News spoke with on Friday said it was difficult to watch the footage, which shows officers hitting Tyre Nichols with their fists, boots and batons.

NC leaders, activists offer their perspectives on video showing Memphis police officers beat Tyre Nichols

Memphis authorities released more than an hour of footage Friday of the violent beating of Tyre Nichols in which officers held the Black motorist down and struck him repeatedly as he screamed for his mother.

<p>This month for what should have been a routine traffic stop that turned into what authorities say was a deadly beating. Nichols was hospitalized in critical condition and died three days after five X. Memphis police officers are charged with Nichols death. We want to show you just one of the officer's body cam videos. The moment nickles was pulled over. Let me warn you. The video is graphic and disturbing. Police have also edited portions of it. Here it is. You'll get your damn I didn't do anything. A Alright, alright, alright, alright, okay one now. Okay, okay, you guys are really doing a lot. I'm just trying to go home man. If you don't lay down, I'm not doing it, freeze. What? Okay, that is a one piece of video from one body cam. What will be two altercations. We're told we're going to play another angle of this for you right now. It comes from a police camera that's affixed to a street lamp. There's no audio here but it may provide more context and a broader view of what we're, what we're looking at here. Here it is. Alright again, this video has no audio attached to it but you can see the officers crowded around and apparently prone. Mr Nichols. Let me bring in NBC news correspondent Priscilla Thompson now she's out with people who are protesting in Memphis Priscilla. We expected that people would be very passionate, a lot of emotion attached to what we've seen so far. What are you seeing out there on the streets? Certainly a lot of that Lester right now we are on interstate 55 protesters have taken over both lanes of the interstate. You can see them there they are chanting. They are calling the name of Tyree Nichols. They are calling for change. We have heard them say to disband scorpion, that unit that was involved in all of this. And the These folks are are angry and they haven't even watched the video. We were with them as that video was released while they were gathering to protest and many of them told me they didn't need to see the video. They saw the photos and they saw the grief and the family's eyes until that is why they're out here tonight and you can see there are 18 wheeler trucks that are backed up on by both sides of the highway here as this protest has brought traffic to a standstill and this is not a particularly large crowd. These are not the type of crowd that we saw during the protest over the murder of George Floyd. But still they're having an incredible impact here. And I will note something that you don't see. You don't see a large police presence here. The Memphis Police Department has said that they didn't want to overdo it. They knew that people would want to protest and they wanted to give people an opportunity to do that and it appears that they have done so all I've seen so far is a release from the Memphis Police Department urging people to avoid this area. This part of I 55. But other than that these protests have been able to voice their concerns and do so peacefully. Have not been any confrontations. The trucks that they have stood in front of and held their signs in front of have have sat there and allowed them to express themselves because they're angry Lester Alright. Priscilla, thank you for that a lot for all of us to absorb and try to put into some context. We showed you a moment ago the video from the pole cam, the fixed camera on a street light, if you will, there was more to that video. And again as we go to show it to you, it is graphic. It is difficult to watch. But here it is. And no audio. I should point out on this tape. All right, joining me now is NBC news, legal analyst, Danny. Cevallos. I mean Danny, you can react certainly, you know, as a person and as an attorney troubling all around. I mean, the initial stop. What we're seeing now is that his flight was not a situation where he was fleeing. As soon as the police turned on the lights, it appears that he was fleeing to avoid a further beating. You hear him saying over and over again words like, you know, I'm doing what you want me to do. I'm lying down and then they keep using force on him. And then you see from that pole cam, the abuse just escalate and what we're going to see in the other videos in the coming days is the police standing around with their body cams on talking about what happened claiming, setting up their defense already that he was going for a firearm and nowhere in that video so far I think has anybody seen him going for a firearm, especially in that initial stop when he's pulled out of the car and immediately put on the ground, he doesn't prone out the way they want him, but he is seated on the ground normally certainly running from police is usually not good idea in this case, he appears to be running for his life. Exactly right. So when the initial reports where it starts at one place, he flees to another place. That could mean a lot Lester it could mean that he was using force himself and then tried to escape. But that does not appear to be what's happening in that video. It appears that the police are using force on him. He is using none in return and once they start pulling out the taser, he's trying to get away to stop the pain to stop the just a few seconds. But how will this impact a trial? The fact this video will be everywhere. If not already videos devastating for the defense also devastating for them is the way they stand around and appear to set up their defense when it's not apparently supported by the facts. Lots of problems here for the defendants. Danny Cevallos. Thank you for being with us. That concludes our special report. We'll have more on nightly news on the West Coast and on your late local news. For now, I'm Lester holt NBC News new york. Good evening.</p>
