Democrat run. What’s the use of being a democrat if you can’t act like one.

No mention of the number of shots the cops fired? Or the RACE of the suspect that was killed? What kinda journalist malpractice is this?

The last time I was in this general area of Memphis, there was a prison nearby.

Agreed. I grew up in Memphis just a little east of this area (in the 70s and 80s).

Almost all of my family and friends moved away. I have one Hispanic friend who moved to the east side of town, and two black friends who haven’t moved away. No one else I keep in touch with is there.

I don’t even like to drive through Memphis any more.

Thanks- Yeah i really wanted to join- back then it wasn’t too bad- woke wasn’t even a word back then- and me and friends thought it woudl be a great start in life to learn a trade while serving -

one fella though who make it in ended up getting killed by his squad mate because he was being forced to testify against the fella-

here is the write-up on it

Sad way to die- He was pretty popular in school-

My other friends though all did well- and ended up with good jobs -

Terrible story of your friend. So sorry. Pretty much impossible to get through life without pathos.

Yeahmit was a shocker- there was another article that went into more detail- if I remeber right it had to do with smuggling military equipment that he was testifying agaisnt. Just a horrible way to die. And all for nothing- the perp who murdered him is now doing life- I mean what was he thinking? That getting rid of a witness would mean no conviction? 2 lives ruined- one for no reason.

Anyway, he was a good guy- and shined brightly while he was on the earth. We don’t know why God allows what he does sometimes, but he does. He makes no mistakes.
