Chief Davis said the Scorpion unit was created to be "more responsive" and "more proactive" to gun violence in the city. But she acknowledged that the officers who brutally beat Tyre Nichols "decided to go off the rails".

The took "proactive" to the next level.

And now Memphis will have a crime explosion because of an emotion based decision.

I’m reading that 3 of the 5 may have had gang affiliations and this was actually a gang hit and not due to an overenforcement of law.

Probably best to defund this group and break them up.

Why don’t they just hire some street gangsters and pay them off to keep the peace?

They also seized more than $100,000 in cash, 270 vehicles and 253 weapons.

Wonder where they went. Like I can't guess.

It would appear that the Scorpion unit was just another street gang, except for the corporate sponsorship.

This Tyre gig sure pulled FJB’s chestnuts out of the classified documents fire. Good timing by Antifa and the Black Looter’s Movement.

How long have they been cops? Is this what we get in the define/mass retirement era?

Of course this HAD to happen. They have a fake affirmative action Black female chief of police who was fired from her affirmative Action top cop job in Atlanta.
Now, since she knows nothing about actual police work she shuts down the special anti-crime unit and surrenders the streets to the criminals.
The same thing happen when that fake coward Dermot Shea closed down Anti-Crime units in NYC.
Now there are very few NYPD sectors in very few NYPD precincts that are safe to walk in after dark.

Has anyone checked Nichols for meth or fentanyl. He seemed really hyped up.
