this IS policing. this is who the cops are.
how much more money will we keep pouring into this murderous institution until more people realize that you can't reform or "fix" something that is doing exactly what it was set up to do? there is no reforming this. defund and abolish

South Memphis celebrates its collective power after closure of Sterilization Services of Tennessee, but the fight continues with the other 16 facilities polluting the air. bit.ly/4dv795f

Happy Birthday Mr. Tyre Nichols! You should be here. We should be celebrating your skating skills, photographs, and joy you brought your family. Love to you and your entire family who keep fighting especially Mama Wells and Mr. Wells!! @MLK50Memphis

Today is Tyre Nichols 31st birthday. Billboards have popped up all around memphis as we celebrate him. He continues to make a difference despite the vicious way the Memphis police officers murdered him. Happy Birthday Tyre 🥳

Remember that time I told y’all Interim Chief Davis is a LIAR. Aw ok.
Thanks for proving my point @LucasFinton
Chief Davis in January said she had enforced the pretextual stop ordinance as a policy mandate since it was passed, despite Strickland saying it was not enforced. I obtained a policy change document that says it didn’t get signed until Jan. 25 this year.

Instead of investing in communities our city council wants to adopt policing approaches from Atlanta. The APD model is a model of surveillance & police brutality. And Atlanta is using their police foundation to build #CopCity
Is that what this new council wants for Memphis?

Found out why we have squatters rights and i look at things ALOT differently now. This could go badly.

Do you care about public safety in Memphis?
If so, read this from housing reporter @SteimerSays on the connection between lead poisoning (preventable, btw) and crime.

Tyre was 29 when Memphis police tragically murdered him. I turned 29 yesterday. In this last year, our community in Memphis has fought for just laws and for justice to prevail for his family. The terror of police violence must end. @phillej_ huffpost.com/entry/tyre-nich…

After Tyre Nichols was murdered using a pre-textual stop the Memphis community passed local ordinances to keep us safe. Sen. Brent Taylor wants to reverse that with SB 2572.

In DC, researchers found that red light cams were systemically concentrated in Black communities, resulting in more tickets for Black drivers. Meanwhile there’s no evidence Black drivers speed/drive differently than anyone else. This is systemic racism. dcpolicycenter.org/publicati…
I'm sometimes asked, "Why are you against woke? Woke just means not being racist!"
Not being racist isn't woke; that's just being a decent human. Woke is thinking that cameras designed to catch people running red lights are actually racist. That's the crazy that I'm against.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Red light cameras were placed by the majority black DC city council in areas that had the most speeding related incidents to make intersections safer for the minorities that lived there.

NEW Study (on Tennessee): Hundreds of thousands Losing Medicaid leads to an increase in crime —> nber.org/papers/w32227
Here are TN Republicans, who claim to care about crime, recently blocking @VoteGloriaJ’s Medicaid expansion bill yet again: xitter.cf/thetnholler/status/176…
WATCH: “We’re now 1 of only 10 states that haven’t expanded Medicaid… 72% of Tennessee supports it… we lose $1.6 BILLION of our tax dollars yearly… we’re #1 in Medical bankruptcies… it lowers crime…”
Republicans cruelly block @VoteGloriaJ’s Medicaid expansion bill. Again.😳

This is a geography lesson for Senator Brent Taylor since he doesn’t know where Eads, TN.
Memphians are tired of you false claiming and acting like you know what we want. Memphis has always mattered to us and unlike you we don’t have to say it everyday to convince ourselves.
