The Biden administration is predictably trying to do as much damage as it can before it has to leave. Every agency and government arm is filled to the brim with radicals who are venting their hatred and trying to set policy. But in a heartwarming turn of affairs, Memphis decided to respond to a DOJ pressure campaign to sign an anti-police and pro-crime ‘consent decree’ by effectively saying that the city is going to wait for Trump.
The Justice Department should not be in the business of investigating local police anyway. That’s a state matter. Jim Crow is long since in the rearview mirror and unwinding the DOJ’s civil rights ‘oversight’ that effectively federalizes anything and everything over claims of civil rights violations should be a major priority.
Since the Obama era, the DOJ’s civil rights division was used to implement a BLM agenda and shut down law enforcement. Forcing cities and states to sign ‘consent decrees’ is a form of federal blackmail that also ought to disappear. But there has been a rash of these fake investigations, findings of discrimination, and demands that cities sign ‘consent decrees’ that effectively allow the DOJ to own their souls.
Usually, the DOJ gets its way, but Memphis decided to respond to DOJ demands with ‘we’ll talk to the new boss’.
The Justice Department said the investigation began after allegations by citizens of excessive police force, force against people who are already restrained, and traffic enforcement that may be targeting black drivers for minor citations.
“May be.”
The government stepped in after now-former Memphis officers were caught on video beating 29-year-old Tyre Nichols, who later died. Those officers faced state and federal charges and the city faces a $550 million lawsuit.
The officers who beat Nichols were black.
The mayor of Memphis is black.
The police chief is black.
The majority of the Memphis police force is black.
There is no racial discrimination here against black people. The DOJ has no legal authority here. Its investigation is a joke. And Memphis decided to treat it like one. It took a black city government to tell the DOJ’s civil rights stasi to finally take a hike.
The city’s chief legal officer says Memphis will not enter into a consent decree over police reform with the Department of Justice, until the city has had time to review the agency’s report.
The city’s response, sent by City Attorney Tannera George Gibson to the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division was sent Wednesday, following a request by DOJ for the city to enter an agreement.
“After evaluating the effects of these consent decrees in other cities, we believe there are better ways to reimagine policing that do not slow the process or cost the taxpayers millions of dollars,” the letter stated. “Until the City has had the opportunity to review, analyze, and challenge the specific allegations that support your forthcoming findings report, the City cannot—and will not—agree to work toward or enter into a consent decree that will likely be in place for years to come and will cost the residents of Memphis hundreds of millions of dollars.”
How long is Memphis going to ‘review’ the report? I’m going to guess until at least Jan 20th.
Odd that poor driving skills or outright NO CONCERN for other drivers is “racial”! If the speed limit is 35 then it’s 35 for EVERYONE! If requiring taillights applies to EVERYONE then it’s not racist! DRIVER’S LICENSE – RACIST for sure!! That one is really a joke – requiring a LICENSE to drive a motor vehicle is not racist – it’s SUPPOSED to be PROOF that you have the knowledge and ability to operate a vehicle safely and lawfully! So many things that the left deems “racist” are NOT. The DEMOcrats use race, sexual perversion, and crime as reasons TO vote for them! Kind of sick!!
Black folks indirectly invoking states’ rights? Interesting.
On the bright side, the pendulum is swinging in natural cycles – eventually with the color or race barrier broken and infused to over balance, citizens, regardless of race, will want normalcy in balanced elected people and opportunities.
They are all giddy silly with their power. Their giddiness is not sustainable anymore than degenerates creating and executing policy from cities, counties, states and across the nation.
Blow it out your ears Joe Biden time to move back to your Basement
Quote “Until the City has had the opportunity to review, analyze, and challenge the specific allegations that support your forthcoming findings report”
Notice the “forthcoming”? That means the DOJ made its demands before the city had a chance to see the reasons for the demands. Imagine a court case where the prosecution demands sentencing before laying out the evidence. We say you are wrong. Just accept our conclusions.
Everybody’s waiting for Trump, aren’t they? We can’t get rid of Bidumb and his handlers fast enough.
Faggots…………..!
I’ve mixed feelings on near future DOJ activism, at least until the left has to take a big dose of their own medicine. That’s the only thing that seems to give them pause.
In democrat run areas citizens are getting their civil rights trampled by these soros DAs, other elected officials and government bureaucrats. And DEI violates the Civil Rights act. They’ve gotten so brazen and out of hand, that they really need to be rolled back. They’re the ones out there committing the crimes they’re accusing others of. Unlike them, Trump need break no laws or do anything unethical to hold them to account. A lot of it will get tossed by leftist judges and juries, but like comparing puberty blockers and hormones to aspirin, they don’t have a leg to stand on.
