When I watched on CNN last evening, I believe there was the transcript, although I missed the first video where they pulled Tyre over. Here’s an article that quotes some, or maybe all, of it.
The newly released videos of Tyre Nichols' police beating captured the brutality that his family and authorities had already foreshadowed: He was punched and kicked while being restrained. He pleaded to go home and repeatedly yelled for his mom.

I couldn’t tell what was going on with the body cams, so I am really glad there is clear evidence from the pole camera. It was silent, of course, and chilling. I don’t normally watch violence, real or fiction, but somehow it seemed the right thing for me to do. Hard to explain, but my sense of justice required it, just as with George Floyd. I guess my thinking is “This is NOT OK and I will not turn aside and ignore what happened.” But I totally understand and sympathize with anyone who couldn’t watch it. I watched it for you, and you’re here, and you’re not ignoring it. Thank you.
