I lived in Memphis for 16 months - about 20 years ago. I quite liked it.
I thought I saw every part of the city, but never visited Frayser. Probably zero reason to go there....
When will cops learn that tomorrow is another day and you don’t have to get the guy today?
C-mon, ya think it’s so easy dragging yer ass down to the welfare office very two weeks??
So now we have another justified police shooting but because of the victim’s identity results in another riot. Just saying, if Obama had handled Ferguson & Cambridge differently by being the cooler head adult LEADER in the room maybe we would actually be further instead of backwards in race relations
“Passion Anderson, a 34-year-old student,”
“Where’s his elementary school photo already?”
Oh yeah, the one in which he’s wearing the gown while singing in the church choir.
“McAlister did not say how many marshals fired or how many times the man was shot.”
In that he is dead, it would appear he was sufficiently shot. The cost to society of responding to the riot is likely less than the cost of the deceased incarceration and trial and subsequent incarceration.
“Doggedly determined not to learn the essential lessons. “
Lesson: If you point a gun at cops, they will shoot you dead.
So Passion Anderson moves her son into a bad neighborhood, purposely, and then worries about his safety. Not a wise mother, in my view. Continuing to make bad choices.
I’ve driven in every state in the union except five on the east coast. I visited Memphis 8 years ago. That is one city to which I will never return. What a pit.
That’s funny...my friend and his girlfriend got lost in Philly (they didn’t know any better) so they searched the map for a Barnes and Noble. Apparently there is a comedian’s joke that there were no B&Ns in the hood and that’s how they navigated out of that $hiithole
That’s in Minnesota, but I am certain that the “working class neighborhood” could be translated into the language I grew up speaking as “a slum with mostly black people living there”.
That is a reasonable thought, but if this dude was wanted for murder or armed robbery, do you really want to give him a few more hours or days to make additional victims?
Depending on the criminal and how difficult it was to locate him, plus what the criminal is into doing when he is loose, a lot of times the cops are pretty determined to get the dude locked up ASAP...
Time to use lethal force on these mobs. They do this because they know they can get away with it.
How true. How many normal communities would tolerate a known 1st degree murderer in their midst before they would cooperate with the police to get him behind bars?
Memphis is Mogadishu on the Mississippi.
He was a good boy. He was turning his life around. He was going to go to school and become a rocket scientist.

Huummm. I heard he going to be a rocket surgeon.
