The chief of police in Memphis in charge of the five officers who fatally beat and tasered motorist Tyre Nichols was fired from a previous law enforcement job after a botched probe.

Cerelyn “CJ” Davis became the first female police chief in Memphis’ history in 2021 and is currently in the international spotlight after five cops brutally beat Tyre Nichols.

She was fired from the Atlanta police department in 2008 for her alleged involvement in a sex crimes investigation into the husband of an Atlanta police sergeant, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

My guess is that the pronunciation of her first name would be similar to Carolyn.

"WTF is going on with all big cities having BLACK FEMALE POLICE CHIEFS??? Is it a law now?"

It checks the appropriate quota boxes and keeps the Feds off your ass.

The Democrat Party is a prime example of unqualified people in positions of authority. They make idiotic decisions which negatively affect the health, welfare, and financial security of others.

Memphis is a war zone, of sorts.

What you get when you put equitocracy over meritocracy.

There’s going to see many more of these disasters as DIE becomes more entrenched.

We’re quickly becoming a dysfunctional mess - a dystopia.

"Not sure why this is her fault"

She might not be at fault, but the buck stops with her. She will be named in a civil suit, and the usual issues will be raised such as negligent hiring, failure to train, and failure to supervise.

One other thing. This is a classic case which could be filed in Federal Court for violation of civil rights under color of authority. And since this a homicide, this case should be death penalty eligible.

From the Memphis police website:

“Being focused on holistic interagency wraparound services and transformational policing for crime reduction, Davis’ research-driven work is strongly influenced by the practical application of the latest tools in technology, predictive policing, leadership development, and all-important community engagement.”

What more could you possibly ask for?

Bad headline. She didn’t “botch” the case. She ordered detectives to drop the investigation, for unknown but possibly corrupt reasons.

“Two detectives accused Davis of telling them not to investigate Terrill Marion Crane, who was married to sergeant Tonya Crane after the police department obtained photos of him with underage girls.”

And if you doubt this, just watch the TV crime dramas. Those black females are just the smartest most clever things on two legs!

Why is she dressed up like a military officer? They aren’t the military and we aren’t the enemies. This us vs citizens / perps attitude needs out of the peace officers. Go back to protect and serve.
