That's a textbook example of bad luck. He didn't survive, did he? |

Quoted: Damn they're just getting over the riots for that kidnapped white woman, that was killed. Edit The fired officers: https://a57.foxnews.com/static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2023/01/1440/810/collage-12.jpg?ve=1&tl=1 |

Two EMTs with MFD suspended now as well, investigation is ongoing. Action news |
|
Quoted: 5 cops and 2 emts fired. Sounds damning. Any ideas what happened? Did they beat the guy or was it Fentanyl or Covid? Just taking an educated guess, they ignored his complaints. I see it all the time with EMTs that go to the jail for 911s. “You can leave the drug box. It’s incarceritis” From the sally port, where they have never seen the patient. Healthcare providers in general have a poor attitude towards inmates |

NY Times summary of the incident. Yes, I know, liberal bias and all. Deceased worked at FedEx, cops tried to stop him for reckless driving, he ran and ended up hospitalized then dead after they caught up with him. The fact they haven't released any footage and fired all 5 cops--who happen to be black--leads you to believe this was bad. I don't put any stock in Crump's pronouncements, but the fact they are holding off releasing the footage to allow time to prepare for a violent reaction says something. ETA--cops involved were part of the Scorpion Unit. Local TV station report on the Scorpions. Pop up ads, auto playing videos at the linked site. The Memphis Police Department launched a new unit to fight the rising rate of violent crimes in the city. The SCORPION Unit, which means Street Crimes Operation to Restore Peace in Our Neighborhoods, is a 50-person unit that operates seven days a week. “It is important to us that each member of the community feels like they can go to the grocery store or live in their house without their house being shot, or the shootings that are frequently on the roads or streets. So, for that reason we launched the SCORPION Unit,” said Assistant Chief Shawn Jones. The unit includes crime suppression officers who patrol crime hot spot areas. There are also be officers focusing on auto thefts and gangs. The unit launched Friday, and since that time, the unit took 29 guns off the streets and arrested more than 30 people. |

Quoted: And no department spokesman release with body or dash camera footage yet? Quoted: Quoted: When they fire black officers, you know some seriously bad shit went down. And no department spokesman release with body or dash camera footage yet? |

Quoted: It’s not right to get beat to death But don’t put yourself in that position with anyone. And comply. Do what you’re told. Don’t run. Don’t fight. Obey the law like, don’t run away. Is that too much? Yup, it’s been said so many times that it’s comedy now.  Chris Rock - Obey The Law |

Quoted: That means the video is really, really bad. Quoted: Quoted: All 5 were booked into the Shelby county Jail this morning. 201 for us locals. And things are moving from "Memphis may get sporty", toward "parts of Memphis are going to burn". |
|
Quoted: Dang it. I've got a flight Monday morning. Not much to loot on Airways between Shelby and Winchester so I should be good.  FYI, the only time I’ve seen a pistol flashed in Memphis was at the Airways Shell right by the airport. It was the guy using the pump next to mine. He got out of the car, pulled a Glock with extended magazine from the door pocket, and dropped it onto his hoodie pocket before pumping gas. I didn’t stick around for long. |

Please list the laws that you think are just and that cops (if you believe they should even exist) should be able to pursue and forcibly arrest someone for. If my hunch is correct, you’ll do it in 3 lines or less. |

Quoted: I just got a bulletin saying that Steve Mulroy intends to release the video at 6pm tonight. Brace yourself. Incoming! |

Quoted: That's a textbook example of bad luck. He didn't survive, did he? God damn that's some final destination shit. I looked it up and luckily he didn't appear to die but his skull was fractured. |
| I know where Memphis can look to replace the five officers they just fired and charged. There are just that many former LaVergne, TN police officers now looking for work. At least the former LaVergne cops just fuck each other and not the citizens. The only thing they beat up is the female cop's guts. |

Quoted: I'm betting this will be mostly a nothing-burger. Those cops are not "beige" enough to cause massive, city-destroying outrage. Of course, I could be wrong. It will be interesting to see, while I eat popcorn!  The media and the DA seem to be doing their best to gin up a riot. They seem to be doing their best to raise the tensions. |

I will enjoy popcorn! Agreed. This sh!t-sandwich is missing two ingredients...warm weather and white skin. I predict yelling and sign waving, that's about it. |
