happening now, we're standing by for the expected release of an arrest video showing the fatal encounter between tyre nichols and five former memphis police officers. the nichols family and officials warn the footage is extremely disturbing. we're also getting our first look at the brutal attack on nancy pelosi's husband last october. a san francisco court releasing video of the suspect breaking into the couple's home and lunging at the 82-year-old paul pelosi with a hammer. welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." let's begin with the latest developments out of memphis right now, where we're awaiting release of the tyre nichols arrest video. cnn's shimon prokupecz is on the

ground joining us with new details. what's the latest? >> reporter: that's right, in just about two hours the city of memphis expected to release this video. we've now heard from family members and the police chief, all describing how horrific and disturbing this video is. today we also heard more from the family members calling on further police reforms. >> you're going to see acts that defy humanity. >> reporter: memphis police chief c.j. davis warning the public about the violence in the deadly police beating of a 29-year-old black man. >> you're going to see a disregard for life, duty of care that we're all sworn to, and a level of physical interaction that is above and beyond what is required in law enforcement.

>> reporter: the anticipated horrific video of the encounter between her police officers and tyre nichols is set to be released this evening. >> they beat my son to death. >> he cried out for his mom? >> yes. yes, he cried out for me. because i'm his mother. >> reporter: the five officers involved in the beating charged with second-degree murder. chief cdavis says the video wil show two incidents after they stopped nichols on the claim he was driving recklessly. she says they haven't found any evidence the stop was warranted and warned the officers showed aggressive behavior from their first moments with nichols. nichols ran from the cops after being pepper sprayed. it's not clear why the spray was used. then the aggression from the officers escalated. >> where was the humanity? they beat my son like a pinata. they had beat him to a pulp.

he had bruises all over him, his head was swollen like a watermelon. his neck was busting because of the swelling. they broke his neck. my son's nose looked like an "s". they just beat the crap out of him. >> reporter: the officers who beat nichols were part of an anti-crime unit called the scorpion unit. lawyers are calling for the group to be disbanded immediately. >> tyre nichols at all times was an innocent victim on that night. he did nothing wrong. he was caught up in a sting. >> reporter: the family also notes the lack of empathy and care from the paramedics who waited several minutes to treat nichols after the severe beating, according to police. >> nobody tried to stop it or -- even after they beat him and

propped him up against a car, no one rendered aid to him whatsoever. they walked around smoking cigarettes like it was all calm. >> that's what's so painful, because you wanted some ounce of humanity, somebody to say, hey, we've got to try to help him. >> reporter: family attorney ben crump saying the real issue in the case is police culture, since all five of the officers involved in the beating are black. >> it doesn't matter if the officer is a black officer, a hispanic officer, or a white officer. it is the culture that allows them to think they can do this. >> as this video will show you, it doesn't matter who is wearing the uniform. >> reporter: nichols' mother says the violence against her son is so horrific, she worries about the reaction the public may have when it's released. >> any of you who have children, please don't let them see it. >> reporter: and, wolf, this afternoon the president, president joe biden, calling the family, both the mother and the

stepfather, to offer his condolences and support. and as you say, this community now awaits the release of this video, wolf. >> thank you very much. shimon will be back with us in a few moments. i also want to bring in cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst, john miller, civil rights attorney martin, and the former president of the naacp, cornell william brooks. we keep hearing that this video that's about to be released shows a beating that defies humanity. as you reflect on the killing of tyre nichols and other acts of police brutality, i wonder what's going through your mind right now. >> well, i'm really taken back to the video of rodney king, more than a generation ago, where the nation witnessed, seriously, the first viral video of police brutality and here we are this many decades later, where we are sitting in a kind of american theatre on the edge

of our seats waiting for the movie of a man's inhumanity to man, police brutality being revealed yet again. and so what i think about is, how long, how many hashtags, how many human beings killed, how many lives decimated and desecrated does it take for american policing as an industry to come to grips with the fact that the culture is sick? we need more policies, but the culture of policing is sick. and it doesn't matter. it doesn't matter if the officers are black, because black wrapped in a criminal shade of blue is a danger to white people, black people, and people of all colors. so i'm sickened by this, because it is absolutely inhumane and it's serial inhumanity. >> john, unlike previous cases of police brutality here in the united states, these officers were promptly fired and are already facing very, very

serious charges. do you see that as evidence that police departments have actually learned from the mistakes of the past? >> i think it is. and i think chief c.j. davis here recognized immediately what this was and, you know, there were two choices there. have a drawn-out administrative process, have the criminal process come in and then have the administrative process wait. she said, i'm firing these officers because what i see on the video is crystal clear and there's no coming back from that. now, there are places, wolf -- and this is important, where the civil service laws as constructed, wouldn't allow that to happen so fast. they would be suspended first without pay, then with pay. this could be drawn out. but she took advantage of her situation there and acted directly and swiftly and surely. >> to her credit. areva, all five of these police officers behaved in a way that resulted in charges of second-degree murder. what does that say to you about the culture of at least some

members of this department? >> yeah, wolf, it says that we have a lot of work to do, as cornell indicated. i think what's so galling for so many people is the notion that five officers could be at the scene, and perhaps more we don't know about, but those five who participated in this brutality, that not one of them had the presence of mind to say to the others, enough, stop, we're going too far, he's under control, he's in handcuffs. and given what we witnessed with derek chauvin and the kneeling on george floyd's neck and the civil unrest we saw happen across the world after george floyd, you wonder, how can any police officer in america in any police department not have that in their minds, in their hearts, when they go out and face the public. so there's so much that we still need to learn about what motivated the actions of these officers. hearing the chief say she didn't see any reckless driving or

probable cause, she didn't see a reason for mr. nichols to be stopped. that another unarmed black man died in the custody of police during a routine traffic stop says everything we need to know, which is that policing in this country is in crisis. >> you know, shimon, the city wanted these charges to be announced before the actual video, which is brutal, was released. has that helped ease anger and anxiety among members of the community? you're there for us. >> reporter: well, for the most part, things have been very peaceful here. people are just -- it's just another day. certainly there's a lot of emotion, you go to the store, the restaurant, anywhere you go here, you can feel there's emotion, there's some tension. but we haven't seen any kind of influx of people to indicate, like we have during some other situations, where people come from out of town to protest or anything like that. we've not seen that. for the most part it's been a

very quiet downtown here in memphis and people have just proceeded with their day. certainly this is on the minds of everyone here and everyone is hoping and expecting a peaceful night, no one is expecting any kind of drama. but nonetheless, of course, the police are prepared, wolf. >> you know, cornell, i know you've worked in recent years with cities across the united states to eliminate police brutality and work toward non-violent encounters. tell us how you plan to approach this going forward. >> well, our social justice public policy clinic at the harvard kennedy school, we work with students who work with mayors and police chiefs to reimagine policing. so, in other words, thinking about policing as you would public health, right? in other words, police officers working beside social workers, working beside teachers, working

beside many members of the community to keep the community safe. and so, in other words, putting the accent on keeping everybody safe, including from violent police officers and using more tools. let's be clear about this. where we had this specialized unit, this so-called scorpion unit where you have officers who jump out of cars, who are in plainclothes, who function like an occupying army, there are other ways to engage the community so that you're able to get at weapons, you're able to get at people who pose harm to the community. so what we look to do in the future is to gauge more mayors, more police chiefs to both change policy and the culture of policing. and to be clear, policing should not be assumed to be necessarily violent. it should be routinely

non-violent. this should not be a matter where we just accept the death of civilians as the price, the casualties of policing. >> cornell, thanks for all you're doing. everybody stand by. right now i want to bring in the vice chair of the memphis city council, j.b. smiley jr. thank you for joining us. i know you've got a lot going on right now. what steps are you and your fellow members of the city council taking to prepare the community for what's been described as a truly appalling video, and what are you bracing for on a personal level as you prepare to see this? >> well, what the memphis city council has done in terms of getting the community prepared for what we believe to be essentially almost a repeat of rodney king, is getting on the phone and talking to the community leaders, talking to the community activists, talking to the faith-based leaders, trying to ensure them that we're going to take all these steps necessary to make sure this

never happens again. and if you know anything about the city of memphis, it's a community of people who lean heavily on their faith, and i believe the faith leaders have an opportunity to step up and show the world how we will handle this. i do believe what you will see is peaceful protests in the city of memphis. there are a couple of organizations that are organizing right now, one near the news station, one getting ready to organize near the organized crime unit location. so people are preparing for protests, but we do believe it's going to be peaceful. >> let's hope they are peaceful. your police chief there in memphis tells cnn there's no evidence tyre nichols was actually driving recklessly and his mother says she believes police attempted a cover-up in the aftermath. does this raise broader questions about the culture of the memphis police department? >> well, absolutely. i do believe it raises more questions. if you paid attention to what happened in memphis after the wake of george floyd in 2020,

our council proposed several initiatives to target police reform and our police department pushed back pretty harshly, sternly against those reforms. i do believe that they're going to be in a hard position to push back because there's council members ready to introduce legislation to target police transparency and also to change the way that we train our officers. we believe that it has to be, going forward, some type of collaboration with law enforcement officers, but also the general public. we have to do something about that. >> do you echo the calls to disband that so-called scorpion police unit in memphis, focusing in on reducing violent crime? >> well, it seems to me that that unit itself is lacking supervision. whenever you have new officers, new to crime fighting, so to

speak, there needs to be some type of direct supervision. if this organization is absent of supervision, i believe we need to disband it. we have to take all the appropriate steps going forward so that memphis sets the standard on how to respond to tragic incidents like this. >> we're going to have much more later this hour on the scorpion unit. j.b. smiley jr., thank you for all you're doing. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you. coming up, we'll have more on the latest developments out of memphis. the police chief is speaking with cnn. we'll share that with you right here in "the situation room" after a quick break. at chevron,g to help reduce the carbon intensity of the fuels that keep things movinin. today, we're producing renewable diesel that can be used inin existing diesel tanks. and we're committed to increasing our renewable fuels production. because as we work toward a lower carbon future, it's only human to keep moving forward.

more now on our top story, the anticipated release of arrest video showing tyre nichols' fatal encounter with police. today the chief of the memphis police department spoke with cnn's don lemon. >> well, from the very beginning, to me, they were riled up. i don't think they were as amped up as they were on at the second scene, but just the stop, the nature of the stop, very aggressive, loud communication,

and it just rose from there. it escalated from there. mr. nichols was able to get away from these officers and they found him again at another location. and at that point there was an amount of aggression that is unexplainable. in any instance where you're apprehending someone -- even in the worst situations when there is resistance, officers still have the responsibility to exercise care and regard for any individual that's in custody or they're attempting to apprehend, and they're trained to do that. >> to de-escalate. >> and to de-escalate. and that's a piece, i think, that is in question. but i think the escalation was there from the officers before training even needed to come in as it relates to de-escalating.

the escalation was already at a high level. >> so you're saying they did everything wrong, nothing that -- you think this was outside of their training, everything? >> oh, absolutely. >> let's bring back our experts for some more analysis. shimon, what can you tell us about the emts on the scene? >> reporter: well, we've been hearing a lot about the officers and their failure to de-escalate and their failure to take actions, but we've also learned in the past few days, really, more information about two emts that were on scene and there appears to be some delay in care here for mr. nichols that they failed to render aid quicker, the police chief indicating that it took several minutes before nichols was administered aid, and then the d.a. yesterday as well talking about that. now, those two emts were relieved of their duties, they're no longer working. they haven't been fired but they're certainly not on the streets. and then today we learned from the fire department, which oversees the emts that they had

not viewed this video until today, and now as a result of viewing this video, they're conducting their investigation and will have to make some decisions about these emts. it's significant, because we don't have an explanation as to why care was not given to tyre nichols sooner. and that is something that we still do not have answers to, wolf. >> they could have saved his life. john, you just heard the police chief there in memphis describe the aggression these police officers exhibited from the very beginning of their encounter with nichols. that certainly seems to fly in the face of their training, doesn't it? >> well, it does. and it flies particularly in the face of, you know, kind of the mantra of c.j. davis. she is the chief of memphis, but before that she was a chief in durham, north carolina, before that she was with atlanta pd. but importantly, she was the head of the national

organization of black law enforcement, and i've seen her testimony before the senate as the head of nobl, where she said there should be mandatory national standards for police use of force, which would include the duty to intervene, pull your partner off if it's going too far, the duty to render aid, the duty to report these things and so on. so this had to be a particularly shocking event for her to see, given the tenets she's been putting forward and what's included in memphis' own police policy. >> you're right. areva, the police chief also revealed to cnn there's no evidence that nichols was actually driving recklessly. does that reveal a larger problem about profiling or police tactics, for that matter? >> oh, absolutely, wolf. and i think that's going to be further explored not only in the state case, but we have to keep in mind there has been a federal

criminal civil rights investigation opened by the u.s. department of justice. and one thing that may happen to additional charges being filed, and perhaps even some of those emt workers that we've talked about. but a lawsuit actually filed against the memphis police department if there is evidence of some kind of pattern and practice of racial profiling of african americans. so i don't think this case ends with the charges, the individual charges against these officers. i think there's a lot more that we're going to learn about that police department. and we heard the city council members say that after george floyd's murder there were efforts to implement certain reforms that were resisted by the police department. so there's a lot more that needs to be known about what those efforts were and why the police department resisted some of the reform efforts that the city council member talked about. >> cornell, i know you're the former head of the naacp. what advice do you have for

anyone who is bracing for the video of this horrific incident or anyone who has heard the details of nichols' killing and is feeling anger or devastation tonight? >> as you watch the video of mr. nichols being murdered, focus on him, focus on his family, focus on his son. seeking justice for that family, for this victim, not merely non-violent, but persistent, with perseverance, with determination. so, in other words, we can't get distracted by the expectation that those protesting the violence of the police will engage in violence. we have to focus on the fact that even -- we go back to rodney king, 60 people lost their lives in the unrest, but

1,000 people lose their lives at the hands of the police each and every year. so we can't get distracted by the possibility of violence. we must focus like a laser beam on getting justice for this family, and frankly, turning around policing in this country. because we cannot continue to do that which is so violent and so routinely done every day. and, wolf, i might note that these so-called suppression units, tyre nichols' attorneys posed a question of, to what degree do we see disparities of violence, arrest and the treatment accorded to black people relative to other people? and is this, in fact, necessary? and so we have to focus on disbanding this unit, on turning around this police department, and turning around policing nationwide. because this is just the latest in a long series.

>> as you know better than i do, there's a lot of work that clearly needs to be done across the country. cornell william brooks, thank you very much. shimon prokupecz, thank you so you guys as well. next, there's more disturbing new video just released showing a man braeeaki into the home of former house speaker nancy pelosi and attacking her husband, paul pelosi, 82 years old, with a hammer. and it only takes eight minutes to quaualify. i went on n their website, uploaded everything, and i was blown away by what they could do. getrefunds.com has helped businesses get over a billion dollars and we can help your business too. qualify your business for a big refund in eight minutes. go to getrefunds.com to get started. powered by innovation refunds. ...will remain radioactive for years to come. well, thank goodness. it's time for the "good news of the week."

there's more disturbing video we're seeing for the first time tonight. police body camera video showing the brutal attack on the husband

of former house speaker nancy pelosi inside their san francisco home. cnn national correspondent nick watt is working the story. we want to warn our viewers this video is very disturbing. >> reporter: it certainly is. cnn and a bunch of other news organizations petitioned to have this material released and previously it had only been seen and heard in court. what we got today, the body cams worn by the police officers, surveillance video from outside, also audio, paul pelosi's 911 call, and also the suspect's interview with police. 2:31 a.m., october 28th. sfdp officers arrived at the pelosi home. >> what's going on, man? >> everything is good. >> hi. drop the hammer. >> nope! >> hey, what is going on?

>> i basically got it away from him. [ bleep ]. >> the subject had allegedly broken in about a half hour before. [ bleep ]. >> i'm actually surprised. >> he woke paul pelosi with the words, where's nancy? >> i was going to hold her hostage and talk to her. if she told the truth, nothing would happen. >> reporter: nancy pelosi was not home. paul pelosi made it to the bathroom, dialed 911. >> i'm a friend of theirs. >> yeah, he says he's a friend, buts, as i said -- >> but you don't know who he is? >> no, ma'am. >> okay. >> he's telling me i'm being very leading so i've got to stop talking to you, okay? >> okay. you sure? i can stay on the phone with you just to make sure everything is okay. >> no, he wants me to get the hell off the phone.

>> i have other targets and if i have to go through him, i will. >> he is making progress but it will mtake more time. as you know today, there was a release of some information. i have not heard the 911 call. i have not heard the confession. i have not seen the break-in and i have absolutely no intention. >> reporter: both prosecution and defense opposed this release, arguing it could compromise david depape's right to a fair trial and that these days images can so easily be manipulated, then spread. given the widespread misinformation and conspiracy theories des disseminated, this might become a vehicle for improper purposes. this influenced nancy pelosi's

decision to stand down as the democratic leader in the house. >> you had hit him several times, right? >> yeah, several times. >> did you use all your force or were you just tapping him, like warning him? >> no, it was not a tapping. it was full force. >> david depape faces a slew of charges, including attempted murder. he has pled not guilty. paul pelosi has a fractured skull, had a fractured skull as a result of this. now, asked in that police interview if the pelosis have done anything to him, depape said they had done something to, quote, the entire american public. he says pelosi and other democrats were involved in what he calls an endless crime spree, quote, the whole four years until they were finally able to steal the election. >> thank you very much. very disturbing video, indeed.

other news we're following right now, the former vice president, mike pence, speaking out about the classified documents discovered at his indiana home, saying, and i'm quoting now, mistakes were made. cnn's senior judiciary commcommittee justice correspondent is there. >> reporter: he's trying to emphasize how cooperative he and his lawyers are being with the justice department, which is doing a review. we're talking obviously about a dozen documents that were recovered from his home. he says he alerted the fbi immediately, the national archives immediately about the discovery, and what we know from the reporting is that the documents involved we're talking about here are mostly briefing documents, lower classification, and as you can get from this clip of what the former vice president says, he's trying to emphasize that they obviously are cooperating and want this to be over as quickly as possible.

listen. >> let me be clear. those classified documents should not have been at my personal residence. mistakes were made. and i take full responsibility. >> reporter: wolf, taking full responsibility, look, i'll point out that this is a bit of a contrast with president biden, who has tried to say that there was no there-there, and has tried to diminish all of this. obviously there's been a lot of cooperation by president biden and his team with the justice department. what we've seen happen in that case is the fbi decided they needed to do a search. the president's team, obviously, invited the fbi to do that search, which happened a week ago. the question right now, wolf, is will the fbi be doing the same thing with the former vice president's home? will they do a search in his home in indiana? >> we shall see. probably sooner rather than later. evan, thank you very much. the january 6th rioter who

at the scene after a chase and a shootout with local police. israel is calling the incident a terrorist attack. cnn is at the scene joining us live from jerusalem. what more can you tell us? what are you learning about this attack? >> reporter: yeah, wolf, israeli police saying it started 8:15 local just outside of the synagogue, in a northeast neighborhood of jerusalem. police say worshippers were leaving the synagogue, it's friday night, so the synagogue was likely full of people. that's when the attack started, and at least seven people have been killed, five men and two women. several have been injured. among the injured is a 15-year-old boy. the attacker then actually came down this hill behind me, and i want to step back so my cameraman can zoom in. you can see where the police is standing is a white sedan. that is the car the attacker got into, started driving. where that car is parked is actually where he encountered

police, who then shot and killed the assailant. police are saying the attacker is a 21-year-old palestinian resident of east jerusalem and as far as they know, he was working alone. the police are calling this a terrorist attack and say it's one of the worst attacks they've seen in recent memory. benjamin netanyahu just spoke to the media and called on people to act with determination and composure and not to take the law into their own hands. this has been a very tense and violent past two days or so. we've been reporting on this for the past two days. yesterday was a deadly day for palestinians after an israeli military raid killed nine and another palestinian was killed later in the day. last night rockets were fired from gaza into israel by militants. israel responding with air strikes. tonight we had a shooting attack. there was concern the situation was so volatile that it was

going to spiral out of control and this may be the incident that really sets off the potential spiral. there is now a question about what's going to happen next. this is a big test for this new government under benjamin netanyahu. he's returning as prime minister but has a new right wing government, the most far right wing in israeli history. the question will be how are they going to respond and what is going to be the next steps. and i should note the next few days, u.s. secretary of state antony blinken will be here meeting with leaders. >> tension clearly escalating. thank you very much. coming up, the memphis police scorpion unit is under increasing scrutiny after some of its members were charged with the murder of tyre nichols. now an attorney for the family is asking for a department to disband the group. we'll take a look at the unit that's at the center of nicholo' death. me! can't waitit 'til i turn 65!
