The Media Industry

Good Grief.
Now it has come out that the black female Memphis Police Chief was fired from the Atlanta PD for ordering 2 officers to not investigate another officer's husband for child porn
. It doesn't relate directly to this case. Just a strange twist. Who in Memphis vetted this chief?

Dare I say a black female could not be properly vetted?

Because, you know...racism.

 

[Horn6721]

This is someone called Officer Daniels. He is or was a cop in Co. Apparently he is well known on social media including youtube.

 

[horninchicago]

Officer Daniels is obviously racist.

If we get back to bribing cops for traffic violations, it’s not necessarily a bad thing.

 

[guy4321]

We know. That's why it's abolish the police.

 

[Run Pincher]

Abolish the police and this it what you'll get in every store in this country in any city of significant size.

I'm not exactly a fan of the police, but I'm less of a fan of anarchy.

You mean there is anarchy already even with police departments in existence? Memphis has police and this still happens. If there was no police and a well developed right to self defense shop owners could afford to provide their own security. That security would have the power to truly protect the property including use of violence against would-be theives.

So you believe if cities went away from city run police departments that everyone's tax burden would be reduced?

Good question. That isn't a certainty is it. I was giving a theoretical.

I think they would collect the same amount of tax and wastefully spend it elsewhere and/or give themselves big raises.

 

[Run Pincher]

I think they would collect the same amount of tax and wastefully spend it elsewhere and/or give themselves big raises.

It would take an act of God to take tax revenue and give it back to the people.

Wait! No, I take that back. Not even God could do it.

Yep. So, if we would be safer overall with private security, fine. But, it would not cost the tax payers less money. That is a bad argument in favor of doing away with the po po.

 

[horninchicago]

Besides Monahorns, who has made it abundantly clear the police are out to get us, who else around here believes that and doesn't feel safe from day to day?

Anyone?

 

[Statalyzer]

I honestly thought it was 5 white cops and not 5 black cops. I've got to start realizing that if I don't see a specific mention of race by the media, that tells me almost as much as if there is one.

 

[Monahorns]

That is what they would want to do. But as citizens we should push for less taxes and more personal responsibility.

You're putting words in my mouth. All I said was that the chaos in Memphis is occurring alongside the existence of a police department. RP, said he wouldn't want to live without cops because of the "anarchy" that would ensue. The statement completely ignores current reality. Murder rates are up. Theft is a big problem in major cities, not due to the lack of city police but together with it.

 

[Horn6721]

Now there are 7 Memphis police officers and 3 EMTs being investigated. What could Tyre have done to have that kind of retribution?
And these thugs had to have known they were on camera. A truly strange event.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

EMTs? What could they have done that's worth investigating? I don't understand that.

 

[Horn6721]

SN
On the video it showed EMT arriving but standing around not doing anything for something like 15 mins.

 

[guy4321]

Thought this belonged in the BLM thread, but y'all talking about it here. Desperate to find a white guy to blame or worthwhile? His crime is yelling, “I hope they stomp his ***” after Nichols escaped? He also pulled Nicholas from the car and tasered him. Doesn't sound wrong with that amount of info.

White Cop Who Wanted Colleagues to ‘Stomp’ Tyre Nichols Is Suspended

 

[Horn6721]

Wow Guy
Wonder why 7 Memphis cops were necessary for a traffic stop? If this white dude is the one pulling Tyre from cop and it is on cam Why did it take so long for media to notice? They have been desperate to blame white supremacy

 

[Horn6721]

Here is the NYTimes account of 1/29 on the EMTs

[Mr. Deez]

Can't imagine why people wouldn't trust the media. Maybe it's because many of them openly admit that being a propagandistic hack is appropriate.

 

[Horn6721]

The best comment in thread was on Journalism 101.

He taught the powers to be how to fish for the wallets...nobody likes giving the wallet back.

[Horn6721]

That is so scary. What have we wrought?
All it needed was to use HAL's voice.

 

[Monahorns]

mchammer, I actually saw that someone got ChatGPT to write a positive poem about Trump too. It takes a little training. I can vouch for that.

 

[Horn6721]

Mona
I saw that. It was on the back page? Not something people would see.

Isn't the whole thing scary?
