Minneapolis had a “Gang Task Force” A while back. They ended up being disbanded because they were bigger criminals than the ones they were arresting.
It’s all about branding. The “Rainbow Pony Squad” just fails to get that cop adrenaline going. Memphis is run by the bottom of the brain trust which hires the bottom of the unskilled and emotionally mis-developed. Basically greedy hood rats in charge of stupid hood rats with badge and gun.
That would be my guess.
Sounds suspiciously like a payback or some sort of score being settled to me. Granted however, that I wasn’t there nor do I have any inside info.
The whole thing gets going because of federal grants for the very same activity in policing the feds will now be investigating. Too bizarre. A perpetually self sustaining institutional Frankenstein.
Who in the world thought that “Scorpion” would be a good name for a police street unit? It would be like officially naming a police unit the A$$-Kickers.
Words really do matter. If you’re a Scorpion, pretty soon you’re acting like one. And it’s a shame, obviously. Police are losing the public’s trust as the thugs are getting bolder.
Bad times are ahead.
5 dead black kids every weekend in Chicago and no one gives a crap
You should experience the MLGW utility employees.......
It's hard to start a riot or fundraise on something that is "commonplace" and accepted.
I know Mayor Strickland.
He probably had no idea what he was signing up for when he ran for mayor.
It doesn’t matter who is mayor—black, white, a career politician, not a career politician—Memphis just gets worse and worse.
Eliza Fletcher’s murder a few months ago cost the city $3,000,000,000...the whole family is moving.
Go on the MPD Twitter page and you’ll see people go missing all the time in Memphis. Lots of kids.
Are they kidnapped into sex slavery? Are they dead from a gang initiation? Their bodies in a field somewhere? But there are a lot of them, just gone.
Now this.
It’s about time to stick a fork in Memphis, it’s done.
Echo chambers of government give us things like “Scorpion Squads” and mandated Covid jabs. “Rainbow Pony Squad” doesn’t get near the funding that “Scorpion Sting Team” gets.

Holy cow I just looked.... a white guy is the mayor of Memphis?? How is that possible?
goons with badges...
He’s a big time Democrat, that’s how.
Sounds like the name became a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Maybe it was payback for something in the past. Kind of like this one.
‘Well well well! WELL WELL WELL!”

“But some community activists say its focus on hot spots within the city contributes to officers’ bias and brutality.”
So it is racist to have police patrol where the crimes occur?
Three billion dollar settlement?
That has to be a record.
I’d move too.
