Interesting. I wonder if those cops are planning on relocating any time soon. Might be a good idea.

Edmund Ford Jr. returns to Federal Court as defense prepares case​

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Shelby County Commissioner Edmund Ford Jr. appeared in court Tuesday morning, where the prosecution and defense in his federal bribery case passed along more items of discovery.

Defense attorney Michael Scholl says there are more than 80,000 items of discovery to parse through as the judge asks to set a trial date by the next court date on July 21.

The federal indictment charges Ford with one count of bribery involving federal programs and six counts of attempting to evade taxes. He entered a not-guilty plea during his initial court hearing.

He’s accused of depositing over $250,000 into an account for his computer business from three different nonprofits.


Prosecutors say Ford would receive tens of thousands of dollars in financial payments from nonprofits to purchase computers from his company.

FBI agents are coming to YOUR neighborhood as Kash Patel announces radical overhaul​

More than 10 percent of FBI agents stationed in the area surrounding the nation's Capital are facing relocation to other American cities.

FBI Director Kash Patel said that moving 1,500 agents out of Washington, D.C. and its immediate suburbs will motivate more people to want to join his agency's ranks.

He also said that the concentration of one-third of agents in the area has led to the increase in failure and decrease in trust.

'The FBI is 38,000 when we're fully manned, which we're not,' Patel told Fox News Sunday Morning Futures host Maria Bartiromo. 'In the National Capital region, in the 50-mile radius around Washington, D.C., there were 11,000 FBI employees – that's like a third of the workforce.'

Pael did specifically call out Memphis, Tennessee as the homicide capital of the U.S.


'I didn't know this until my confirmation process, but Memphis, Tennessee, is the homicide capital of America per capita – didn't know that, we have a problem there. We're now addressing it,' Patel said.

'We're rolling out one of our task forces to Tennessee.'

Stephen A. Smith: NBA players down on Memphis due to Crime​

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — ESPN commentator Stephen A. Smith says NBA players don’t want to play in Memphis because of high crime.

In a show segment posted to X on Tuesday morning, Smith said he knows this because players have told him.

“The people in Memphis, it’s a great sports town, great fans, great people. But there’s an element there where cats like Jimmy Butler and others don’t feel it’s the safest environment,” Smith said. “I’m talking to the local authorities in Memphis. You gotta clean some of that stuff up because it’s dissuasive to NBA players.”

I hate that things like "dead" "shooting" and others have to be bleeped on some of these.

I kept reading this as "sh1tt1ng" not "shooting"
