Desmond Mills testifies about the brutality of the Scorpion Unit and his role in Nichols' death.

Desmond Mills, a former Memphis police officer, tearfully testified about his regret for participating in the beating that led to Tyre Nichols' death.
Mills described the Scorpion Unit's aggressive approach and the hostility directed at citizens, which he disliked even before the incident.
During the trial, Mills admitted to using a baton on Nichols and failing to stop the excessive force used by his colleagues.
