Crime in Memphis: How did we get here, how do we get out?

[@StrengthCircusDD]

Quit letting these folks out with no bond and start keeping them in jail. so many of these folks have multiple cases going and have no business on the street.

[@QueenCMB]

Right repeat offenders somebody gotta use some backbones. The city is constantly getting slapped with lawsuits. Some shyt ain't right. No intervention programs in place while they're out on bond committing more crimes. It's weird. Dumb politicians 🙄

[@pgppe9488]

Memphis has a quality of people problem and the quality people problem is created by the breakdown in the family. There will be no real change in Memphis without changes to the family structure. Sixteen - twenty year old single mothers should not be considered a family because in most cases the young ladies are not prepared to Raise and nurture productive young people. Also, the issues are all generational and linked to poverty. The poverty is created by our willingness to normalize poor decision making. We create new terms that get normalized like baby mommy and baby daddy instead of understanding the long-term negative ramifications of kids not knowing their families and being forced to live in poverty which in turn creates gangs participation, hustling mindset, guns, and violence for the boys and more broken families created by the young girls. A family is not a 23 year old woman with 4 kids by 4 different men. Fix the broken family issue, by focusing on education and skill development, stop embracing living off the government, value work, commit to teaching our children good morals and values, and totally embraced that there is no way forward without having a family dynamic where Love, Structure and Discipline are embraced by all parties.

[@alexmangrum90]

Agree with everything your saying. Sad part is the governing bodies know this. It's only getting worse. Move far away it's the only legit answer.

[@Naturallyuncut]

Yes. And keep going. 1. SOME NOT ALL our city leaders should BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND MADE IF THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO STEP DOWN LET ONES WHO WANT AND KNOW WHAT'S TO DO . STOP MAKING G EXCUSES AND BLAMING THE WRONG PEOPLE. PLAYING THE BLAME GAME IS OVER. PEOPLE LIVES AND BUSINESSES ARE AT STAKE NOW. THE VERY ONES WHO STAND BEHIND NOT ALLOWING PARENTS TO DISCIPLINE THEIR CHILD OR CHILDREN SHOULD SEE THEIR LIVES AND FAMILY,& FRIENDS BEING VICTIM S FROM THE VERY CHILD OR CHILDREN THE STUPID LAWS PROTECTED FROM. NOW ITS BEYOND OUT IF CONTROL. NOW THE CITIZEN'S AND PARENTS HAS TO HELP NOW , THE DILEMMAS. ARE GREAT THESE VERY OUT OF CONTROL CHILD OR CHILDREN PARENTS, FAMILY FRIENDS LEADERSHIP S AND OR ECT HAS TO NOW STEP IN AND CLEAR UP TO HELP RECTIFY THE DAMAGE AND ERRORS CREATED FROM YOUTH. BUT WE WASN'T THOUGHT OF BEFORE NOW. WE WAS SILENCED IN MANY WAYS . CAUSING US POVERTY LACK OF A VOICE BEING HEARD RIGHTS AND OPPORTUNITY'S BEING TOOKEN FOR US TO SHIT UP AND STAY IN OUT LANE. SOME LEADERSHIP ONLY CARED ABOUT MONEY AND MANY LIVES HAVE BEEN AT STAKE.BECAUSE OF POWER STRUGGLES OF WHO THEY ALLOWED TO DO OR SAY ANYTHING. THESE VERY CHILD OR CHILDREN THAT HAVE BEEN OVER LOOKED IS THE ONES TAKING LIVES AND BEING RECKLESS.. WE BEEN OVER DO FOR CHANGE. ESPECIALLY SOME OF THESE LEADERSHIP S NEED TO MENTALLY EVALUATED ALONG WITH Reconsideration of their seat and responsibilities they hold.a

[@ashantireed8073]

Well said, it's kinda similar where I'm from, my whole neighborhood was full of single mother households in bad financial situations but people continued to have kids it was the craziest thing to see. Like ya don't see how wrong this is. It was one of many reasons that completely ruined my view on having children.

[@bigbirds-bs7ov]

The state can handle it but they won't look at how many high profile cases Memphis has and how many of them they let out on bond

[@ericfreman3305]

There’s no accountability! It’s everyone in the cities fault! People are too fearful to speak out when individuals are committing acts of crime. You can pray all day, but if there’s no action behind those prayers, no changes will occur.

[@charmainperry7553]

That’s true it needs to be accountability and also I believe people know they have family members that commit these crimes and they are not helping the problem either, they ignore it or are completely ignorant to the difference between right and wrong.It’s terrible here in Memphis

Bring it out. They are only putting money where money is already. They have overlooked our communities for over 30 plus years and wonder why things are how they are, because they planned and put our people in the conditions on purpose, ignored our cries of mother's, father's and most importantly, our children. They have never considered our so-called minorites, but we are the majority.

Put money back into the communities like it was during the mid 90's-2000s when there were programs for the youth, organizations to help parents, when the neighborhoods were cleaner, were things wasn't perfect, but things were not how it has come to now. 500 million dollar budgets and none of that money is going where it's actually needed. From AC Warton, then Jim Strickland has ignored the cries 😢of the so-called black communities and now MPD, the Mayor and city officials have the nerve to be upset. When they have never considered the so-called black communities. And now look. You blame the so-called black but it's deeper. The conditioning of the mind when a person is put around nothing but poverty. They find outlets to make money... This plan was government organized for us to be in these circumstances. And these TOP so-called leaders know exactly what they are doing. Changing the narrative and ignoring the real reason for their genocidal agenda only targeting our communities. This is not only in Memphis, this is the United Snakes of America whole agenda towards our communities throughout the country. You can blame the so-called black, but American is to blame. American did GOD'S chosen people like this. And the propaganda in the system and the media is ridiculously evil to think that We as the people want to actually be or act out in these behaviors. No, you as so-called leaders gave them no choice, no resources, and false hope. This could have been fixed, but the wickedness and hatred towards GOD'S PEOPLE won't allow your evil mindsets to do so.
