In another incident, MPD tried to stop a car for driving with expired tags and failing to stop at a stop sign. Officers followed the woman home and forced their way into her home with her young child – an excessive and illegal police response for a nonviolent traffic violation.

Altogether, nine squad cars and 12 officers responded to the attempted theft of a cheap gas station beverage. The man was arrested and served two days in jail for theft and disorderly conduct. It is unclear – and unlikely – whether any officers received disciplinary action for this incident.

“No, don’t kill me,” the man yelled as he tried to run away. Officers put the man in a chokehold and repeatedly tased him while screamed in pain facedown on the pavement.

As an officer arrived, the man left the drink in the gas station and walked away. The officer followed him, yelling while other patrol officers arrived. Then, as the man put his hands in the air, officers shoved him against a squad car, hitting him and pinning him to the ground by his neck.

In an instance of MPD using excessive force, the department was called to a gas station during the attempted theft of a $2 drink. The perpetrator was an unarmed man with a mental illness.

Young also cited the long-term and costly nature of consent decrees in other cities across the U.S.
Young promised to host town hall meetings to receive community feedback on the report, while Davis boasted of 700+ policy changes completed over the past three years to improve policing in Memphis.

While the police beating death of Tyre Nichols in 2023 spurred the DOJ into action to conduct this investigation over the past 17 months, the report reveals MPD’s abuse of power stems back decades.

I am reshaping my relationship to my ADHD meds.
For the longest I was unnecessarily cruel to myself for needing them to function and I am completely done with that narrative. I am thankful to have access to them and am able to follow through on the work I love doing for myself and my people.

“Funding abortion” feels like such an inadequate phrase to describe the relief felt when you don’t have to choose between rent and abortion care.
