Questions remain about MPD knowledge of permitted events

City park officials said any event with more than 25 people needs a permit from the park and from the city. There are six park rangers for 162 parks, but most of their efforts are spent monitoring permitted events.

Minors who commit violent crimes parents should be charged

Unless the parents are held responsible, to be responsible for raising little thugs then this won't stop. Getting a permit will be considered racist.

Laws don’t work when you’re dealing with people that don’t have respect for them, or authority.

It’s funny how the police don’t never know anything

[@user-ts7ns7bt2v]

Come now. Now you think you have enough cops to somehow clear every park and street every night

This world is out of control united states included

FBI & ATF? Needed NOW!

[@chitonyc1979]

The problem isn’t a permit.
One of the problems is MPD passed by that park and kept on driving by after seeing a large group of the ”blacks” gathering knowing that’s a recipe for violence!
They need to address those officers that patrolled that park and didn’t take action!!!

[@bigmountain1970]

C’mon, you know if they break up the party then they’re over policing, racial profiling and just don’t like Black folks. You can’t win..

[@tammydillard2509]

Facts so they very much new about it now they’re trying to cover it up

Permit to be in a public park? 🤔 i dont think that was the issue. so now permits will be needed to enter a park? This was unfortunate but i believe it was due to lack of crime deterrent initiatives in memphis city government.

[@chitonyc1979]

I swear. They keep talking about this permit shit like that would have made a difference.
