that's that same dumb shit people are saying on facebook. That dude killed a man in Mississippi then ran and hid in North Memphis. That's why the U.S. Marshals got involved in the first place. He all on facebook filming the cops smoking weed talking about "they gone have to catch me" well they did idiot. now i get that tensions are High and when they saw a black man get shot they reacted but they didn't know the situation. Black people need to be smarter and jumping on innocent people is inexcusable
Too often, police terrorize an entire neighborhood looking for a suspect. They will come in and treat everyone like a criminal instead of acting with the carefulness and delicate social order that they do when they are in white neighborhoods.
People are fed up.
Memphis is not Florida. People are sick of that bully bullshit and are starting to revolt, right or wrong.
Black people do need to be smarter. They need to aim for the heads.
I feel no sympathy for an alleged murderer of an innocent person but at the same time, I have witnessed first hand at how these types of situations are handled. It is often with total disregard for the safety of those in the neighborhood.
If the police were on better terms with the people who PAY THEIR SALARIES, the hood would make it easier for them to do their jobs. Instead, too often they come in flexing . They come in threatening and challenging everyone. They show no love, so they get no love.
Its because of shit like how they did that woman in Phoenix that they get treated like they do in Memphis. People see that shit and have no reason to trust the police.
I'm not trying to make excuses or judgement calls. I'm just calling it like I see it.
