Memphis Police was said to announce the five MPD officers involved in the arrest of Mr. Tyre Nichols have been fired. Mr. Steve Mulroy is the Shelby County District Attorney. The former district attorney was Ms. Amy Weirich. Mr. Jim Strickland is the current mayor of the City of Memphis, TN.
We are waiting for an outstanding prosecutor in/for Memphis and Shelby County in the State of Tennessee. Will Mr. Mulroy be such a superb one? We don’t know yet, but it can depend on his performance as a district attorney. Time will show.
As we said before, the local police didn’t/doesn’t show the good quailities of the law enforcement around Memphis/Shelby County in Tennessee. There must/may have been/be multilayered reasons why such phenomena exist around Memphis/Shelby County.
Ms. Amy Weirich was a failed prosecutor. If she had been successful for the policies and performances of prosecuting, Memphis and Shelby County must not have had these kinds of social problems. Especially the white-collar crimes spread rampantly around Memphis.
Mr. Jim Strickland should take one of the biggest political responsibilities for the Memphians’ ending up seeing these kinds of social landscape over Memphis. If he had been a successful mayor, things must have been very different than the current situations.
Memphis and Shelby County have a lot of street crimes. We already know that. There should be more social experimental efforts to reduce such crimes let alone to detecting and punishing such crimes.
One of the fundamental problems around Memphis and Shelby County is that Memphis is the city of the white-collar crimes. One of the fundamental differences between a competent and talented prosecutor, and incompetent, incapable, and inefficient prosecutor is how they approach, analyze, and deal with such cunning criminals because such crimes are unseen, hidden, and consealed. That’s why Ms. Amy Weirich failed.
There are different types of the white-collar crimes, but corrupt business people, corrupt police officers, corrupt local politicians and government officials, and corrupt judges are the issues and problems which requires urgent attentions both from the local communities and from the Shelby County District Attorney General’s Office.
Only outstanding, capable, talented, superb, and excellent prosecutors can do that. We have been waiting for such district attorneys for a long time. Not for such prosecutors, but for Memphis and Shelby County. The local communities deserve that. The local communities should be better communites.
We hope that Mr. Steve Mulroy doesn’t lose such an opportunity to be an outstanding prosecutor. Not only for him, but also for Memphis and Shelby County.
