Birmingham Police Chief Scott Thurmond on Friday extended condolences to the family of Tyre Nichols as police in Memphis prepare to release video of the deadly beating.

Nichols, 29, died in Tennessee three days after a confrontation with Memphis police officers during a traffic stop on Jan. 7. Five police officers have been fired and charged with murder in Nichols’ death.

“Anytime a tragic incident occurs such as this, all law enforcement agencies are hurt because of the shame that is now brought upon our profession,’’ Thurmond said in a prepared statement. “As police officers, we all take an oath and should hold ourselves accountable for our actions.”

The statement came hours before Memphis officials were expected to release video of the traffic stop.

“At The Birmingham Police Department, we share in holding all our officers to a higher standard of displaying our motto of commitment, excellence, and integrity in every situation that our officers are placed in,’’ he said.

“We do not condone the actions that these former officers took and will remain firm in our stance that as a department, we will follow and uphold a true moral compass in all our actions.”
