The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement on Friday that it is coordinating with partners across the United States ahead of the expected release of the video in the death of Tyre Nichols later today.
The agency “will continue working with our partners across every level of government and impacted communities to share timely information and to support efforts to keep our communities safe,” it said.
Police departments in Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Nashville, Milwaukee, Seattle, Denver, Dallas, New York, and Atlanta told CNN they are either monitoring the events in Memphis closely or already have plans in place in case of large-scale protests or unrest.
The city of Memphis plans to release video of Nichols' fatal arrest sometime after 6 p.m. local time (7 p.m. ET) Friday.
Memphis City Council Vice Chair JB Smiley Jr. said the city will continue to work with community leaders and organizers ahead of the video release, in hopes of quelling any potentially dangerous protests.
“I think what you will see in Memphis, you will see protests, but it will be peaceful because the Memphis Police Department, the sheriff’s department, the district attorney and the Memphis City Council, along with the city administration, has took all the necessary steps to quell any potential of rioting in our city,” Smiley said.
