By now everyone knows about the incident in Memphis that resulted in a tragic death and the firing and prosecution of five Memphis police officers. What still bothers me, though, is why it happened.
I’ve watched the videos and read the stories, but the one thing I don’t understand is why the traffic stop occurred in the first place. What jacked those cops up so much that they responded as they did? Nothing will justify what they did, but why they did it is valuable information. That’s sometimes called a “training scar,” and that question must be answered.
