Memphis police director Toney Armstrong wants to retire while he’s still healthy
A day after his unexpected announcement that he plans to retire in three years, Memphis police director Toney Armstrong elaborated Thursday on his decision.
Armstrong cited the job’s “frustrations,” its stress and his desire to remain physically and mentally healthy as part of the motivation behind his decision to leave the job in 2017.
This is absolutely horrid.
Per the scanner, the suspect is a black male 20s.

In Memphis that narrows it don to about a million people.
Sad time for the policeman’s family. This guy needs to be caught quickly and taken right to jail then to trial.
I eho your sentiments.
This sh!t has to stop immediately.
Last news update called an “all hands” to catch this guy. That seems a little extreme given their usual response when a civilian is murdered.
Maybe they are worried about “revenge” murders of cops.
Cecil is more important. /s
RIP, Officer, and I hope they catch the perp and fry him up good.

So I turned on CNN & Fox News, in different windows of my computer. CNN was covering this & MH370. Fox was covering a skit by Jimmy Fallon & an ice cube maker.
Years ago when Hooks was embezzling money from the NAACP, he did the same thing until his crimes were so egregious that they couldn't be ignored.
Yeah, I’d rather see him go down in a hail of bullets... Forget jail.
The racist motto "black lives matter" fuels lawlessness.
BTTT
The city of Memphis is over 70% black. Over 40% of the businesses are owned by blacks. The city government and courts are run by blacks. The schools are run by blacks. Over 83% of the trasactions at my local Kroger involve EBT cards.
just to jail???execute, by hanging in the public square...after a fair trial, of course!
