At least 24 Memphis Police Department officers were injured during a large protest Wednesday night, Mayor Jim Strickland says. The violence erupted after officers of the U.S. Marshals Service shot and killed Brandon Webber, 20.

The shooting occurred around 7 p.m. local time, as officers from the U.S. Marshals Service as part of the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force tried to take a man into custody. When the officers approached the man, law enforcement officials said, he was getting into his car in the Frayser community in northern Memphis, Tenn.

LOL, the Mayor is like many of these very wealthy black preachers who prey on the ignorant, stupid masses they profess to lead. They say the right things and can get away with most anything. Black privilege has its benefits!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the current shootee had done the same to his fellow youts. Indeed, one of those Federal warrants might have involved something like it.

The relative of mine told me most in his group are ex-military (Marines mostly) or ex-FBI who got sick and tired of the liberals at the fbi office. He wasn’t joking about the fbi..

In Germany it’s Saxon violins that is the problem.

Dangerous profession, violinist:

The Investigation Discovery channel’s “Motives and Murders,” airing Tuesday night, revisits the 1980 killing of 30-year old Helen Hagnes Mintiks, a violinist at the Metropolitan Opera who was killed at Lincoln Center.

April 18, 1937: Julia Nussenbaum, a young Juilliard-trained violinist who performed under the name Tania Lubova, was killed with a claw hammer in a Times Square rehearsal studio. The murderer turned out to be a theatrical booker named Mischa Ross, who had been interested in her romantically and would be classified today as a stalker.

The Crime Branch (CB) on Saturday appeared to be wading through a morass of claims, counterclaims and accusations from various quarters as it pushed ahead with its inquiry into the death of violinist Balabhaskar in a car accident in 2018.

The piece left me with the impression he intended to die in a fight with Police. Something like, “youse dirty coppers’ll never take me alive!!!” but he didn’t have a Thompson sub, just a car.

This is the third article I have read on this incident, and not one of them has specified just what those "multiple felony warrants" were about.

I don't think they issue warrants for being a sweet young man.

I switch over to the BBC that FSU radio carries occasionally at work when I can’t get the talk station. I usually can’t handle it for more than a few minutes. It has many programs on art and artists and political things and the announcers are always female talking to females about third world women things. It seems to me to be British Women’s Colloquy.

Reparations will end all this.

Blacks will then let drop the 200# chip on their shoulder and assimilate into American society, study more, learn work skills, become more employed, lower their illegitimacy rates, depend much less on welfare and end the endless discussion of their blackness.

These “protests” following a lawful police shooting could be quietened down quickly if the police officers being attacked would just open fire...
