Democrats defunded Memphis police. Here is what happened next
Opinion by Conn Carroll • Yesterday 9:25 PM

After Michael Brown was shot in the act of assaulting a police officer, the Democrat-controlled city of Memphis, Tennessee, slashed pension benefits for its police department. City officials also vowed to change a police force that was 47% white into something that better reflected a city that was only 27% white.
 
Hundreds of white police officers got the message they weren’t wanted and left the force. This left the Memphis Police Department hundreds of officers short of what even the Democratic mayor thought was needed to keep residents safe.

To fill this gap, according to journalist Robert Klemko, the police department was forced to lower standards at the police academy. This included dropping the department’s requirement that applicants hold a college degree and making it easier for recruits to pass tests.

All five of the officers charged with the brutal beating and murder of Tyre Nichols joined the department under these new, lower standards.

But the "arrest" of Nichols was "mostly peaceful." :whistle:

I am guessing without reading the article that things got better?

If I was a White Supremists, a real one and not someone who disagrees with the progressive agenda, what would I be doing differently from what leftists are doing to people of minority races?

Does it matter?  Something good came out of it.  In fact, I just posted an article where San Fransicko is going to give Memphis a run as best police force in the world by begging for people to become cops.  With such nice begging, how can anything but better things happen there! *****rollingeyes*****
