The Washington Post has reviewed the footage in detail. Here is a description of what each video shows.
In video clip one, Nichols is pulled from his car and pushed to the ground by a group of police officers.
“I didn’t do anything!” Nichols says as officers shout at him using expletives.
As Nichols is moved to the ground, a voice, presumably Nichols, can be heard saying: “You don’t do that, okay?” and “All right, I’m on the ground.”
Nichols appears calm and can be seen sitting on the ground, while officers shout commands at him: “Turn around! Right now! Get on the ground!”
“Okay, you guys are really doing a lot right now, stop,” Nichols says as multiple officers pin him to the ground and tell him to turn around and put his hands behind his back. “I’m just trying to go home!”
An officer warns Nichols, who is already on the ground, “Man, if you don’t lay down — ” to which Nichols responds “I am on the ground!”
The officer wearing the body camera appears to Taser Nichols, who is struggling to get away. After several seconds, Nichols gets up from the ground and sprints down the street.

He ran away after he had been pulled out of his car and pushed to the ground by police.
