Regarding the timing of the release, which some officials have questioned, Lieutenant Rudolph said: “It was in consideration of businesses, schools, etc. So those who want to protest can freely, and those who don’t can get home.”


They WANT them to protest—or not, whatever they want. What world am I living in? What world is Memphis in? A world where those who want to protest and those who want to go home will say a friendly goodbye to each other and “Have a good weekend”? Where school kids will say to each other, “Are you going out tonight”? Where adults don’t go to Happy Hour on Friday nights and get happy on alcohol?
