Default [Video] FedEx tractor trailer robbed on roadway.

So now they're blocking in tractor trailers while driving down a road and then breaking into the trailer for the purposes of theft/burglary...

This was on a roadway in Memphis.

Hmmm... anybody notice anything unusual about the perps? Me either.

When you absolutely, positively, need reparations overnight.

It was a mostly peaceful burglary.

Memphis is a chithole. I witnessed the decline of that city for 26 years and will never set foot in it again.

The Mob had truck drivers on the payroll that could actually drive an 18 wheeler, and had 18 wheelers with drivers and loaders who could offload stolen cargo onto another truck and vanish.

This is South Africa style feral wilding. Buckle up, because eventually this will be the norm in many areas. They already do this to parked trains in California.

I wish I could have seen Tyrone's face when he opened up his FedEx box and discovered he had stolen a pair of work boots.

Typical Memphis, it's a shithole of a city and has been for 30+ years.

Would be better if it was a stack of paperwork. They wouldn't even know what to do with it.

A book would confuse them just as much. A belt too.

Picking out a father's day card would probably cause an aneurysm when they had to figure out who to send it to.

Memphis Police Chief Claims Crime Is So Bad Not Even The Army Can Stop It

by David Hookstead November 17, 2023, 1:00 pm

Crime is so out of control in Memphis that police chief CJ Davis doesn’t think the Army can save the day.

OutKick readers know the situation in Memphis is far past bad. It’s downright appalling, and a stain on the entire country that criminals seem to run roughshod in a major American.

Below are a few recent examples of the carnage and chaos:

Doctor gunned down in front of his family
Eliza Fletcher brutally murdered
Brawls at Topgolf
Gunman who killed four people had been cut loose early from prison
Interview derailed by drive-by shooting
Nine-year-old child shot

Crime is out of control in Memphis.

The situation is so bad that Davis doesn’t even think sending in the troops can get the job done at this point.

“I don’t care if we have the entire United States Army here in the city of Memphis. If we continue to see the same individuals committing crimes, you know, arresting our way out of this isn’t possible,” Davis told Action News 5 when talking about the chaos unfolding and repeat offenders.

You know things are bad when the police chief doesn’t think the Army – the greatest in world history – can fix the issue.

Listen to her comments below, and send me your reactions to [email protected].









And, just to save y'all some time, yes, the Memphis police chief is a diversity hire.
