Crime Ridden Memphis

And for some reason you're proud of yourself because of this.

He's too "fill in the blank" to realize folks like Tucker are taking advantage of him. It's kind of sad.

In my opinion a biscuit is a biscuit isn’t a sandwich. A sandwich is between 2 slices of bread and calling anything Texas toast just ruins it. Like most everything “Texas” thick bread originated in Tennessee and they cooped it.

Fight over the bread size all you want. Bacon and egg goes on a white bread sandwich. Sausage and egg goes on a biscuit. End of debate.

Edit: sausage, mustard, dill pickle chips could go on white bread as a sandwich.

MSNBC Guest: Police Culture ‘Is Rooted in White Supremacy’

Former police offer and National Coalition of Law Enforcement Officers For Justice Reform and Accountability co-founder Redditt Hudson said Friday on MSNBC’s “All In” that he believes the death of Tyre Nichols shows that black officers can adopt the police culture, which “is rooted in white supremacy.”

If the dynamics between the mayor and the CofP were different she would be out on her ass too. But there’s no way he can fire her.

We’ll since she has only been there a year and has just started to try to clean up a 50 year mess, I’m thinking she should at least get a chance. She didn’t hesitate to get rid of the murderous trash that caused this incident. Have to give her credit for quick action on that.

You sound pretty immature TBH.

Well, that's telling me off. Try to be more gentle next time.

Would you expound on the "50 year mess?"

He's right. Grow up

Im not blaming her, but if this were the opposite end of the State and 5 white Bristol officers beat someone to death, the white police chief would walk the plank. As far as the job she’s doing, I would rather be the CofP in Kabul than Memphis so I’m rooting for her.

thick bread is for French toast purposes only

Man, that is very specific… y’all are all crazy.. are we arguing about Memphis, breakfast foods, or both?

Elite Scorpion unit that 'killed' Tyre Nichols was formed at height of Memphis crime wave, Took Over 500 Criminals Off Streets in Just THREE MONTHS - but now faces being disbanded

• In its first three months, unit made 566 arrests, including 390 felony arrests

The Memphis Police Department's elite SCORPION street crime unit is facing calls to disband, after several members were involved in the traffic stop that resulted in the beating and death of Tyre Nichols.

The unit was created to combat soaring violent crime, but critics say its aggressive tactics and lack of oversight are a recipe for tragedies like the fatal beating of Nichols, which was revealed in its full savagery in footage released on Friday.

Founded in October 2021 due to pressure over rising crime, SCORPION, stands for Street Crimes Operation to Restore Peace in our Neighborhoods. Its mandate is to stem homicides, assaults and robberies.

Memphis officials have said the unit comprises about 40 officers in four teams concentrating on crime hot spots.

Of those, 390 were felony arrests, according to Strickland. Officers seized tens of thousands of dollars and over 250 weapons, the mayor said.

One former veteran Memphis police officer who said he knew each of the charged ex-cops, told CBS News that 'you have to be a go-getter, for the most part' to join the SCORPION unit.

'You have to be someone who wants to make a difference, who wants to catch the bad guy,' he said of the 'proactive' mindset of the unit.

I was wondering if this same scenario had happened with five black officers and a white guy…a) would we have heard about it … b) which sides would we have chosen c) would we even care? Food for thought … though to me this is not so much about race, there are so many other factors at play…Antifa needs to keep out of it

This one is pretty easy, no matter any color combination you want to try.

Soo this supposedly elite unit formed to combat the worst of violent felonies pulled someone over for reckless driving…….which my 70 year old mother does everyday? Something is off here.

 

[Delmar]

Lived in this area since 1976. All I can tell you is that several friends who served on the force either quit or retired as quickly as they could because of the inept leadership they experienced. Chief Davis has her work cut out for her.

With the exception of a few conservative news outlets reporting it, nobody would even know about it.

The city hired a black woman. I'm sure affirmative action had nothing to do with it.

Well I know from experience that if white cops had killed a white person we wouldn’t have heard about it. You should read the story of Caroline Small. It’s equally disgusting and involved the same prosecutor who sat on the Ahmaud Barbery case. Sadly one of the officers who participated, went on to murder his ex wife and her boyfriend about 5 years later.

I’m going to have to agree with you, a lot gets covered up so they don’t start stuff.. remember the two year old riding his tricycle in the driveway who got killed? I know crimes in general don’t get reported here in middle TN, but crime has gotten considerably worse with our tripled population in my town

Much like the “huge riot”, again you are overreacting. If it gets disbanded, it won’t be without a fight. I’ve seen interviews with two black city councilmen who stated they think that squad needs to be reviewed but not disbanded. Both said it is doing good work and that a couple of bad eggs shouldn’t spoil the whole thing.

 

[allvol123]

Expound

We would have heard about this no matter the color of the victim. We would choose the side of the person being beaten, no matter the color of that person or the colors of the 5 officers delivering the beating.

This is black and white, no indecision here. This is so far beyond acceptable. It literally looks like a planned hit is taking place.

I’m pretty sure meth heads and poor white get shot and nobody gives a damn

Just think about the number of murders that go UNSOLVED in Memphis, and all across America, in a given year. They are still walking around free men and women to commit more crimes.
