Don't know if any updated news links have been posted over the last few pages... so here goes just to update the situation

WREG

quote:

According to TBI spokesperson Keli McAlister, initial information indicates that officers with the U.S. Marshal Service’s Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force came into contact with Webber, who was wanted on multiple felony warrants as he was getting into a vehicle.

While officers attempting to stop Webber, he reportedly rammed his vehicle into the officer’s cruisers multiple times before jumping out with a weapon. The officers opened fire, striking and killing the man.

...

Around that time, a large group started gathering on the scene and several individuals began throwing concrete rocks and bricks at officers and squad cars.

In a post on Facebook, Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland said a concrete wall outside a business was torn down and windows broken out of a fire station.

seriously... what did the fire department do to you morons?

quote:

“Let me be clear—the aggression shown towards our officers and deputies tonight was unwarranted,” [Mayor Strickland] said.

...

Authorities confirmed at least 25 officers received some sort of injury and they were forced to set up a triage unit on the scene for the officers who had been hurt. They were eventually forced to use a chemical agent to disperse the crowd.

...

Three people were arrested after the chaos but so far they have not been identified.

Best part of that article:

quote:

Three people were arrested after the chaos:Eddie Richardson, Kleston Beverly and Joshua Taylor. Police said each of the men were among the people causing problems at the scene and refused to leave when told to disperse. Taylor, 19, even laid on the ground and told officers, "ya'll gonna have to lock me up today."

Taylor was charged with inciting a riot and riot, while Richardson and Beverly were charged with disorderly conduct.

MPD like “challenge accepted”

That’s ridiculous. Death could have been avoided by not ramming into Marshal’s car and coming out brandishing a weapon all to avoid being brought in on multiple felony warrants in first place.

Mob scene may have tainted any official investigation into shooting, but I don’t think that matters to those throwing the rocks and bricks.
