Memphis is famous for The Blues, Elvis Presley and Graceland, Barbeque, crime, and now … police violence. Don’t be offended if I left something out, and on that note; we might want to dig deeper into the question of police violence (sort of).

Several of the “Cops” who beat Tyre Nichols to death might be Vice Lords Street Gang Members who were embedded into the Memphis Police Department after it allegedly lowered its standards in a desperate need to get bodies into uniforms.
In other words, it might be a gang hit.
REPORT:
Not only did Mayor Strickland reduce the qualifications to become an officer at Memphis PD, The academy was directly told to not fail anyone out due to their desperate need for officers.
They were literally letting anyone in.

Here’s a screengrab of Lauren’s follow-up tweets.
I can neither confirm nor deny the allegations. We’ll need to wait to see what shakes out, but if you’ve not seen the five now former MPD officers arrested for the murder of Nichols, here they are.
Five former Memphis police officers have been indicted and jailed in the beating death of Tyre Nichols, who died days after a traffic stop on Jan. 7.
Tadarrius Bean, Demetrius Haley, Emmitt Martin III, Desmond Mills Jr. and Justin Smith each face several charges, including second-degree murder, aggravated assault, aggravated kidnapping, official misconduct and official oppression.
We can probably agree that they were not motivated by racism, leading us back to police violence but with a twist. Black Lives Matter had an itch to cut urban police forces. It also wanted more representation from the community in those that stayed the course. Memphis, like most other Demcorat-run plantations, was happy to oblige. Following the rules set out by the Progressive identity politics axe-grinders and their BLM water carriers, we are not permitted to presume that not all officers of color are like these five.
Their rules, not mine, so while I can disagree – I care very little for the hypocritical nonsense that passes for liberal thought – they are bound and subject to appropriate levels of ridicule.
Memphis is not a safe place to live. At the end of 2021, one site ranked it the most dangerous city in America. Area Vibes, which curates details for prospective home buyers, gives Memphis an F for Crime, Schools, and Employment.

If you run an increasingly street gang, it’s a great time to get some guys on the inside.
Memphis leaders are making plans to reduce crime rates. However, it is reported that the city needs more police officers. According to a tweet by the City of Memphis, MPD is offering a $15,000 signing bonus.
Another link from Lauren confirms that the MPD was struggling to find new officers.

If you haven’t already lost your mind, I’m not saying this isn’t police violence. It is. This confirms what we’ve been saying for a long time. City Police, their Democrat-run unions, and these Democrat-run cities are responsible for everything. They’ve had a stranglehold on leadership for generations and plenty of time to address issues they talk about every chance they get. But Democrats refuse to own the generational poverty, inadequate public schools, crime, and the cop culture that is a reflection of their uninterrupted rule.
Memphis is over 64% black. The “arresting” officers were all black. And people are rioting; why? Police violence. And excuse changing the subject away from Biden’s classified document scandal? Well, ‘cuz reasons?
Tyre’s family has said no one should riot, it’s not what he would have wanted, but that didn’t seem to make a difference. Do you know what else hasn’t but might? These incidents happen in cities bought and paid for by the Democrat machine whose elected representatives run everything and control everything and have for decades.
Memphis is Blue; that’s why police reform is such a struggle.
If you want to riot for change, start by voting for someone other than a Democrat and not just one office but all. And not just once but every election for the next (at least) ten years. The Dems broke everything, and no one can fix that overnight.
Or keep doing the same thing about nothing’s going to change.
