US President Joe Biden declared himself "outraged and deeply pained" Friday by newly released footage showing the fatal police beating of Tyre Nichols, a 29-year-old Black man from Memphis.
"The footage that was released this evening will leave people justifiably outraged," Biden said in a statement, urging protesters to remain peaceful.
"Those who seek justice should not resort to violence or destruction," Biden said.
