Protests erupted in Memphis and cities across the country Friday and more demonstrations were planned for the weekend as the nation reacted to brutal footage of the killing of Tyre Nichols at the hands of Memphis police.

Demonstrators plan to rally in New York City, Memphis and Baltimore, among other cities on Saturday.

Amid freezing temperatures Friday night, more than 100 protesters shut down an interstate bridge connecting Tennessee and Arkansas in Memphis. Some chanted “killer cops have got to go.”

Protesters locked arms and chanted “we ready, we ready, we ready for y’all,” as they marched from the bridge and toward downtown. Onlookers cheered from their balconies.
