There is too much crime in Memphis and the police will do absolutely nothing. When I was robbed and called the police to follow up, the detective got mad at me for having the nerve to follow up! The response time to an assault in my east memphis neighborhood was almost 2 hours the other night and the officers did nothing, absolutely nothing and basically said that they were going to do nothing. No more money for the police department until they start actually doing their jobs!
