Memphis is the most dangerous, violent and criminally organized city I have had to truck in, ever.
I have worked Broadway, Philly, LA and Laredo. Nowhere else is violence, prostitution and substance abuse profited as openly as it is in Memphis.
When you get within 5 miles the citizen band (CB) traffic is a non stop HIGH POWER advertisement for drugs and prostitution. In between the mega watt adds we hold a running conversation, who is actually doing the advertising, drug and prostitution gangs or the police? Could it be a 24/7 police sting? Along with a annual announcement,
"Break, break 19, you know that evidence locker in the local cop shop? ya thats right everything came up missing again." "10-4 What? again?"
I will testify that when I am forced to overnight in a south Memphis truckstop I thank the lord for allowing me to escape alive, one more time.
Could Duanna's Murder been executed by the police? Maybe, it was the mafia, but I doubt if the police are allowing competition now.
