#10 Of course any body cam footage must released in time for Friday night & Saturday peaceful protests.... for better peaceful incitement.

I just spoke with him, Whiskey Mike. Everything is calm there now, but of course it would be. He is aware of the usual Antifa/BLM pattern of calm protests during the day followed by “activists” rioting after dark... and he’s experienced riots before — it’s been a while, but his colleagues in Chile thought it would amuse him to see the anti-Pinochet protests when he was on a business trip to the group in Santiago.

He also observed that the Blues competition has half the number of bands and half the attendance than there used to be before Covid, which at least means he and his comrades can get in and find seats for all the performances — less ambiance, perhaps, but more comfort. I’ll report back if he sees anything more interesting this evening.

#12 I was surprised to see that there was no Walking In Memphis themed poetry in this thread.

#14 Mr. Wife just texted:

Beale St. is very calm. No issues.

According to Business Insider, which has been liveblogging events, protesters are currently gathered on the Memphis & Arkansas bridge with demands for the mayor. Around 6 pm hundreds gathered to await the release of the police bodycam videos, which happened around 7 p.m.
