MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A driver’s cell phone was out and recording when a fight broke out in the middle of a busy Fox Meadows intersection early Saturday night.
Kevin Coleman couldn’t believe what he was seeing in front of him. The brawl between two women and a man and a woman was blocking both lanes of traffic at Mendenhall and Knight Arnold Roads.
Mendenhall and Knight Arnold Saturday night. Courtesy: Kevin Coleman “You never know what you are fixing to see in Memphis, man,” Coleman said in a Facebook post.
One of the women who was taken to the ground told police it all started when she honked her horn at a driver she thought was moving too slowly through the light.
She said a woman, later identified as Tarika Brownkeys, got out of the vehicle, approached her car, and began hitting her.
Tarika Brownkeys (SCSO) The victim said her sister jumped in to defend her, and that’s when an unknown male joined in and began hitting both of them in the face.
In the cell phone video, you can see the man and woman kicking and hitting the sisters while they are on the pavement.
“It’s really unfortunate to see violence in the city, especially men putting their hands on women,” said Coleman.
Brownkeys told officers she and her brother were pushing their disabled vehicle down Mendenhall when the sisters jumped out of their car and started to assault her.
However, investigators said they found video footage from a nearby traffic light that showed Brownkeys approach the sister’s car and begin attacking them.
Brownkeys, 24, was arrested and charged with simple assault and released on her own recognizance. Police said the male suspect fled before officers arrived on the scene.
In Coleman’s video, you can also see a man step out of a car with a handgun and then reach inside his vehicle for a rifle just as the fight is ending.
Once again debates about Proust get out of hand!
Saw it was Memphis, didn’t NEED to guess.
It’s so much fun having to live like this… Really, so much fun…/s
Low IQ retards
> it all started when she honked her horn at a driver <
Sad to say, but that’s usually too risky these days.
If your honk is successful, you get to your destination a minute earlier.
Otherwise, any bad thing could happen.
Well, at least the other drivers didn’t run them over...
Hubby just told me that he’s been to Memphis exactly once while traveling for work. He also said he will never go there again.
I was in Memphis about 55 years ago, plus or minus a few years. I don’t think it was quite like this (in any way) all those years ago.
Yeah, those novelist arguments get heated up to red hot quickly.

Yeah, I honked at a cyclist wearing those tight glossy bike suits who was wobbling around and almost came into my lane - a two lane road, one lane either direction. He comes up to me at a stop light and pounds on my window, which I let down, and starts screaming at me that he has the right to be on the road. After about some ranting, I lowered my sun visor displaying the gun I had up there. He starts screaming I was pulling a gun on him. I called 911 after and the officer just laughed ....

I saw a few episodes of iCrime with Elizabeth Vargas. She seems to censor totals of stories that would make it look like one race is in the wrong a lot of the time.
Also I was aggravated to hear “no arrests were made” “authorities are reaching out to the public as the suspect in this video was not stopped at the scene and is still at large.”
Carnage all over the place with parked cars hit, pedestrians bumped into, children pulled back from racing teens just in time and lots of vulgarity shouts before the fist fights.
I’ve only been to Graceland which I think isn’t exactly in downtown Memphis. The tour was better than I thought. This was in the early 2000s. It was a part of a road trip to New Orleans.
Photos. Man in middle over woman on the street:
“I want you know I’m stomping the Hell out of you because of the content of your character-—not the color of your skin.”

Gas prices up and people are at the breaking point, with just one more trigger to set them off. So, Trump’s fault. /S
😁😂🤣😅🤣😂😁.....................
I haven’t been to Graceland that I remember, but I bet that was an epic trip. NOLA can be a wild place. It just depends on what you’re looking for when you go there. GREAT FOOD! And other visuals abound.
Didn’t have too, you named Memphis.
Am I the only one who has noticed at things such as stoplights not working, the honor system and courtesy used to cause people to take turns but now three or four blast ahead and ignore everyone but themselves?
It ain’t Mayberry.
And does everyone BUT me like the roundabouts or traffic circles? Cities say they are cheaper for the city budgets than stoplights.
Hard to believe. The perps lied to the police that they were pushing a disabled vehicle. LOL So did they get arrested? Another LOL.
