A decree issued by Interim Police Director Michael Rallings to go 30 days without killing failed when a man was shot and killed Tuesday afternoon.
The shooting happened near the intersection of East Raines Road and Airways Boulevard. The victim was first reported as being in extremely critical condition, but doctor's later announced that he did not survive his injuries.
Monday afternoon, Interim Police Director Michael Rallings asked protesters to help him by agreeing to a 30 day moratorium on killing. That moratorium did not last 24 hours.

Dollars to doughnuts a record number of murders occurs in those 30 days.
Well it kind of proved the point. They can’t even kumbaya.
I wonder what happened to that sick child who was blocked by the protestors from being taken to the Emergency Room.
I don’t know anything about the Rallings guy. Is he even a cop? What an absolutely imbecilic thing to do.
So, what is he going to do, now that asking nicely didn’t work?
Horrible grammar. This guy is a director? Sloppy language, sloppy thinking.
“Horrible grammar. This guy is a director? Sloppy language, sloppy thinking.”
My guess is he’s gotten ahead for other reasons, and brains wasn’t near the top of the list.
A valient effort on the part of the CoP. Now a lesson learned. #BLM are useless and not at all tied into the community.
Given the cost of a donut today, those aren’t great odds.
3 days tops
There were no killings on the entire continent of Antarctica.
They just need to relocate the city there and problem solved.
“When I come out with my non-politically correct statements, that a lot of people love, and some people are so terrible, and then you have attacks like this and so many other attacks.”
Sauce for ganders.
I predict there will be a murder in Memphis before midnight this Saturday.
These punks, thugs, and their white liberal idiot followers blocked the damn I-40 bridge crossing the Mississippi River to Arkansas. I’m sure travelers just loved this BS. When police types in Memphis allow crap like this they helped create the problem. The Memphis Chief does not impress anyone.
Wasn’t that the highway that the thugs blocked the sick baby, trying to get to hospital, on?
I'm reminded of the "Take back the night" movement (against rape). The people listening and agreeing that stopping that particular class of crime are not the same people who are out committing the crime. And those who commit the crime are not likely to be swayed by some plea to take back the night or to stop senseless killing.
I read it as a deliberate use of such language, for whatever reasons--such as an attempt at rapport.
And they say the cops are the problem??
Yeah, 30 days is too long, like a drunk, one day at a time, just one day.
Is this from the Onion?
Just say Feelz Goodz slogans and everything will be fine?
