Sure Blame "White Supremacy"
instead of blaming what's truly destroying "Black Lives"
The Democratic Party.

The citizens in Memphis WANTED a referendum on some recent ballots here about the residency restrictions on law enforcement officers and firemen...

City Council made damn sure that would NOT happen after that last time we had a special section on the ballot where the citizens voted to INCREASE the pay for those guys (which the council STILL REFUSED to do).


Votes ONLY count here if you are voting for what THEY want to do anyway...

See? Police. You said it yourself…… Lol

I don't understand your context.

I don't understand your context.

Joking/sarcasm. BLM, Defund police, all cops are bad, etc.

How much should they have been paid to prevent that from happening?

Could Nichols have cut them a check on scene to stop it?

Why is requiring them to live there bad?

Statement from Memphis PD in an article from the NY Post

The department also revealed that was even offering waivers for people who have been convicted on felony charges.

More: According to a source within the Memphis PD, the 5 charged officers weren’t hired through the usual structured PD hiring process. City leaders felt the existing process was too strict and kept certain people from getting jobs at the department. City leaders began their own hiring process and then pushed new hires into the agency, bypassing the testing procedures in place at the department. You can read between the lines what that all means.

All 5 of the charged officers were hired by the City, and didn’t go through the rigorous PD testing process.

That sounds like they had to hire thugs to get the job done.
I wouldn't want to live in Memphis and/or be a Memphis Cop. I will say however, you get the Police force you pay for.
Articulate, hardworking people with morales and an education want to be employed by like minded folks who will in turn go to bat for them.
As a White guy, I would be looking for the nearest Bus that they were going to throw me under.
If you have poor retirement, low wages and low morale, then have to lower the standards to fill the seats, you'll get thugs.

Had to hire or wanted to hire? The 5 initial cops are making a typical wage for Memphis. Usually when something like this happens and the claim of not enough money comes up it will end up showing the officers are making significantly more than the average for the area.

Not unique to Memphis. There was a TN media outlet that would start looking around at TN agencies every few years and figure out they had hired felons and it wasn't just 1 or 2 people at 1 or 2 agencies.
