Only the video can tell the story of what really happened to Tyree Nichols.

The lead starts right now.

I still haven't had time to grieve yet.

I'm still dealing with the death of my son.

A mother's pain and calls for justice for Tyree Nichols ahead of the release of video

described as horrific and even sickening.

This hour, what the public can expect in what Nichols parents call the most telling part.

Plus, more disturbing video out today showing the hammer attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul

and the split-second police hat to intervene.

And a consequential vote today setting the tone for the future of the Republican Party.

Welcome to the lead. I'm Pamela Brown, Jake Tapper is on assignment and we start today with

our national lead, heartbreak, grief and calls for justice and Memphis, Tennessee.

And just a few hours from now, the city is set to publicly release videos of Tyree Nichols

arrest. The 29-year-old died three days after a confrontation with police on January 7th,

and encounter Nichols' stepfather, who has seen the video,

described as a brutal beating.

I saw officers hitting on him. I saw officers kicking him. One officer kicked him right

he was kicking a football a couple of times. And the most telling thing about the video,

to me was the fact that it was maybe 10 officers on the scene and nobody tried to stop it.

The five officers charged with murder and Tyree Nichols' death have now all been released from

jail on bond. And Nichols' mother tells CNN, despite losing her son, she doesn't hate those officers

and pray something positive will come from her son's horrific death.
