Memphis hired a new Police Chief in May 2021, she is a she and she is Black and she is a crime victim
After a year on the job, Memphis Police Chief CJ Davis lays out future plans
Chief Davis told the Memphis City council there has been a 4% reduction in overall crime incidents so far this year.
from local ABC news station, May 2022 including video report
If you go to the police department's website https://memphispolice.org/, you will see impressive p.r. and an array of tools for citizens including things like this link
Who's in Jail? This database contains the listings of persons who have been processed into the Shelby County Jail and lists the charge(s) for which they were originally detained.
and others like "Memphis' Most Wanted", "Warrant Search" and "Sex Offenders Search"
Upon first accessing the site you will also see a popup ad for recruitment - they are desperate- they are offering a $15,000 signing bonus and up to $10,000 in moving expenses

HEY according to conventional progressive wisdom they are supposed to be rough with him, because he's Black. What's wrong with Memphis cops, how come they are not following the narrative?
by artappraiser on Thu, 09/08/2022 - 12:23am
complete version of video with sound makes clear some Blacks are happy police are on the job:
by artappraiser on Thu, 09/08/2022 - 9:22am
He killed 4, wounded 3, in 7 shootings and 1 carjacking from 12:56 a.m, to about 8:30 p.m. The police did their job but the justice system did not: was charged as an adult with attempted first-degree murder in 2020 but released early. This time he got into a standoff, refusing to get out of the hijacked vehicle after a high speed chase, which police surrounded. The SWAT Team was called in to assist and he was taken into custody (peacefully as you can see in the above video) with the help of Shelby County Sheriff's deputies.
So 4 more dead, 3 wounded, a whole city on lockdown, as well as tons of taxpayer money spent ALL BECAUSE he wasn't sufficiently dealt with after violent crime in 2020. Reality is that keeping guns away from people like this is pie in the sky - mentally ill or otherwise violently inclined can acquire them illegally including ghost guns. You must lock them up or supervise some other way 24/7.
And if you are going to continue to let them out on the street unsupervised 24/7, then yes, more police will help limit their damage. Defunders who think too many are in prison need to wake up and smell reality - there's people out on the streets that shouldn't be. If you want to change prisons to more luxurious halfway houses with 24/7 supervision: good luck! Including that I hope you are willing to fill that job instead of running for public office or some such -- cause no one else wants it, that's for sure.

This is to help you never forget. It was not just a terrorist attack with "only 2,000 people killed". It was a direct and criminally masterminded attack on symbols of America and the west. (The U.S. Capitol building was a intended target, that plane luckily ended up in a field in PA.) No different, really, than Pearl Harbor. The intent: much worse than 1/6, and worse than Putin...
by artappraiser on Sun, 09/11/2022 - 4:31pm
Certainly different - Japan was already told if they went to Indonesia for oil (that they were in desperate need of) it'd mean war, so they tried a pre-emptive *military* strike to take out out Pacific fleet. ObL's was to terrorize a population - and it worked - we panicked, we blinked.
by PeraclesPlease on Sun, 09/11/2022 - 5:20pm
I strongly disagree; having two decades to reflect on it, it couldn't be clearer how the 9/11 attack differed from your garden variety Islamic terrorism. This is one good reminder, watch it to end to see the teary faces in the crowd:
People all around the world got the message that Osama crafted, it was a declaration of war on western civilization. He fancied himself a Putin or a Tojo and people got his message loud and clear. Everyone knew.
You are confusing 9/11 with what many politicians turned it towards later.
Nobody thought he was looking to bomb the local schoolhouse. He targeted the WORLD Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a symbol of democracy, the U.S. Capitol.
Were Islamic radicals going to be emboldened? Of course, but they were the envisioned soldiers, the kamikaze pilots and other suicide bombers in Osama's imagined army.
Edit to add: by arguing this, you harm your own argument about taking the threat of ISIS et. al. (Al qaeda versions 2, 3, 4, etc.) seriously.

p.s. related:
by artappraiser on Mon, 09/12/2022 - 1:57pm
Say what? Tojo was desperate for oil, his Asia play was running out of steam. He wasn't trying to do a symbolic attack against the West - he had to cripple the US fleet at the same time he was hitting the Brits in Singapore. There are some parallels to the crafty surprise attack, but one was traditional military (arcing by the Aleutians with electronics turned off for a silent running of thousands of miles), one was a very small team of saboteurs. Tojo nearly crippled our naval fighting capacity but for some luck with ships out of harbor, and instead of knocking us out before it began, he sucked us into a declaration of war on 2 fronts. ObL mostly wounded our pride and dialed up our insecurities - whether we can directly credit him for sucking us into Iraq is debatable - more "neocon + daddy grudges gone wild".
Note that Japanese kamikaze came later in the Pacific War for various reasons, not early at Pearl Harbor.
And i didn't say 9/11 was garden variety Islamic terrorism - it was audacious, from the 911 part through the 2 sets of patriotic/economic/politically symbolic targets. Put it up with the Munich Olympics.
It's still odd that after we declared war on Japan, Hitler declared war on us - he didn't seem like the one to honor treaty obligations, and hard to see what the upside was pulling our arsenal and troops into more direct war, but maybe he thought he'd scare us off. As for ISIS, they were basically a 2.0 from us removing Ba'ath loyalists from power in Iraq, but not until 11-12 years after Bush went in. If they were a product of ObL they sure took their goddamn time about it. And a lot crazier & more fundamentalist than the unreligious Hussein who allowed women volleyball players to wear shorts. Did ObL predict that? Seems unlikely.

R. Kelly convicted of several child pornography and sex abuse charges, acquitted on one pornography count and a conspiracy to obstruct justice charge @Twitter News LIVE
A Chicago jury reached a decision on Wednesday in R. Kelly's federal trial after beginning its deliberations on Tuesday. The deliberations followed weeks of testimony. The R&B singer was convicted of several child pornography and sex abuse charges, The Associated Press reports. He was acquitted on one child pornography and a conspiracy to obstruct justice charge. The rapper was found not guilty on all three counts of conspiring to receive child pornography and for two further enticement charges. Former associates Derrel McDavid and Milton “June” Brown were also found not guilt on all charges after being accused of trying to bribe and threaten witnesses in the 2008 Illinois child pornography case in which R. Kelly was acquitted. Content warning: This timeline consists of live-updating Tweets which may include sensitive content from this developing news story.

Meet Marcel Hunter, everyone on his block recognizes him, feral young black felon predator personified at 27, dropped out of high school as a freshman, has learned to shoot to kill ladies who displease him. Hobby is procreating, 4 kids and another on the way. Judges keep giving him mulligans even tho he has no respect for them nor electronic monitors. Even tho we are told that police unfairly profile for people like him, he can cut off electronic monitors and disappear for 3 years, go figure. If Fox made him up nobody would believe them.
