I'd take that bet.  If there's a federal civil rights trial that he can make money off of, he would suddenly find he loved white peoples, especially those that got an ass-whooping from the police.  The money is the issue, race and civil rights are just his shtick.

The fact that a big city like this has shut down, sounds more like a fear of actual domestic terrorism, except the media seems to be the hype-man for it. I guess its not politically correct for the mostly peaceful protests to call it domestic terrorism.

I’m confused. Are you saying a riot in 1866 is the reason for the perpetual unrest in Memphis? I’m here in Memphis, not Arizona, so I may not have the best perspective. I just don’t remember the rioters in 68 screaming “Remember 1866”

Our new Chief is considering letting us have beards. I just don't like it, but I'm the outlier.
Beards will help moral and make us able to steal Officers from other departments.

The amount of comments I’ve read on Twitter blaming this on so-called white racism is staggering. “They were probably good cops to begin with, but magically turned into awful people after spending enough time around evil white cops.” “Even black cops aren’t immune to systematic racism.” Etc, etc, etc…this shit is disgusting.

True, there are a lot of other issues on the department as a whole. So I should focus on more important things.
But as a mid level supervisor, updated shaving profiles, sick occurrences, payrolls, suspension of officers, shift manpower, etc. are the mundane world I live in, so that is what comes up in conversation sometimes.

With an 84% chance of precipitation, a high of 84 and a low of 37, I wouldn't expect too many folks to be out rioting. Riots usually occur when it's hot and people's tempers flare. They don't usually happen when it's cold and wet.

Birmingham: May 1963
NYC: July 1964
Philadelphia August 1964
LA: August 1965
Newark: July 1967
Detroit: July 1967
Memphis: April 1968
Miami: May 1980
LA: April - May 1992
Cincinnati: April 2001
Ferguson, MO: August 2014
Baltimore: April 2015
Charlotte: September 2016
Minneapolis: May - June 2020
Portland: June 2020

There are plenty of other episodes of mass racial violence in the U.S. over the years. The vast majority of them occur in the months of May through September. The few which have happened in winter months are outliers.

I hope no riots happen. And if the cops committed a crime they get a fair trial in a court of law.

That being said, riots do not happen spontaneously. The instigators need time to mobilize, purchase weapons and supplies, organize logistics, etc. There will be some kind of a peaceful march organized, with community leaders and Crump leading the way. After it's over, groups of rogues will go to work on local stores and pharmacies. And ATMs.

This is how it works.
