Call for Justice
The NAACP of Memphis is calling for the termination and prosecution of all law enforcement and first responders who witnessed the beating death of Tyre Nichols. Five black police officers of a street-crimes unit have already been dismissed. The situation must be somewhat difficult for the NAACP. It wasn't a white on black crime. It was an abuse of power. The enforcement mission of the police officers had gone to their heads and they were operating with impunity. "We're in charge and we can do what we want. Nobody can stop us." This is a fatal mindset for any organization -- the person who is "righteous" in his zeal to get things done even if it means breaking the law. The former police officers will go to trial and it will be a news story for a time, but the reputation of Memphis will take longer to repair.
