Did President Obama announce “if I had a son he would look like Tremaine? “

[equaviator]

“An ex-convict wanted in Tennessee for the murder of a Memphis police officer turned himself in to the authorities”

Does that count as doing the right thing?

[Mr Radical]

It is worth reading the (brief) article, it epitamises what is wrong with the justice system:

"The police said Officer Bolton, 33, was killed after he interrupted a drug deal. After a brief struggle with the officer ... Mr. Wilbourn shot him multiple times and fled."

[By turning himself in, Wilbourn] "wanted to make it a point to say that, one, I am not a cold-blooded killer and, two, I am not a coward." Wrong on both points, of course.

"The driver, who also fled, surrendered to the police ... on Sunday and was later released without charge." Wrong that he was not charged.

"Wilbourn was previously convicted of robbing a banking institution and ... was on supervised release at the time of the shooting." Early release is wrong in almost all circumstances.

An update on the Memphis cop shooting - the perp lawyered up before "turning himself in" to the Feds.

Questions:
How much coaching, and by whom, did he receive?
How is an ex-con affording to lawyer up that quick? (pro bono? doubt it...)
Any further word on the accomplice?

For thus has the Lord said unto me:
“Go, set a watchman, Let him declare what he sees.”

".... Wilbourn, accompanied by a lawyer, turned himself in and was expected to be arraigned hanged on Tuesday in the shooting of Officer Sean Bolton.

Shoulda been this.

Memphis has a black mayor, police chief, most of the city council is black, DEM CONTROLLED. Does that give you the picture, they only want black LEO too.

This dirt bag will not be tried in Memphis is the most probable, or the judge will be imported at the least. Tennessee Recidivism stats show blacks do 6 months less time than whites. The local Penal Farm which is a 11 month 29 day facility has a 85% re-offense rate. Most of these inmates have a record of 10-40+ lower grade felonies.

Memphis is known as the crime cesspit of Tennessee.
