(Live coverage MEMPHIS, TN) PROTESTERS MOVE OFF I-40 BRIDGE
WMC TV 5 MEMPHIS, TN ^ | 7/10/16

Posted on 07/10/2016 8:57:41 PM PDT by GailA

This has been a 3 nearly 4 hr BLM protest, no violence, but they have broken the law by obstructing the I-40 Bridge that runs from Arkansas to Memphis. As of this posting the police and Billy Kyle Jr have slowly moved them first past 1 exit ramp, then off the bridge. Another group joined the original group. Both black and white protesters, many covering their faces. Mostly young blacks male and female.

Demanding justice when they don't want Police in their neighbor hoods and the INJUSTICE SYSTEM is BROKEN!

Just glad it ended with no violence, but the Police should have never let them occupy the I-40 Bridge as it is a MAIN artery from Arkansas to Memphis.

They did allow a child on the way to St Jude's for cancer treatment to go through. But while the Police were tied up there how many homes or businesses were broken into or other crimes including violent ones occurred. How many Ambulances were held up transporting patients to the MED Trauma Unit from Arkansas to Memphis were stuck in traffic.

Where are the water cannon?

This is far too organized. DOJ Secy Lynch is orchestrating the whole thing.

The police couldn't give a rat's *$$ about people's houses being broken into. Speaking from my own Xperiences BTW.

They did Allow emergency vehicles through such as that kid who needed cancer treatment which shows that they are genuine and pure. God Bless them!

Maybe in November, America will be thinking much harder about what they put in their White House. If they have learned from these domestic enemies of America...

Maybe.

Saw them strutting down Beale Street earlier.

Went back to Memphis a couple of years ago and noticed how much it jad deteriorated. Same with Atlanta.

Anyone covering their faces to obscure identities need to be arrested immediately.

I-40 supports about $10mil an hour in trucking commerce.

The bridge should have been cleared by any means necessary.

You want BLM breaking down your door and robbing you legally? I’ve had that happen to friends of mine believe me. Yeah maybe they may have went too far this time but I am sick of Big government abusing its powers.
