“This ‘no chase’ policy with MPD Has to cease,” the Downtown Neighborhood Association of Memphis wrote on its Facebook page. “A Memphis Police officer just just saw four wheelers driving downtown doing wheelies and said he couldn’t do anything because they have no chase policy. Memphis deserves better. Let’s get it done.”
One person writing on Facebook that it’s nothing new and that some riders had weapons.
We saw this a lot down Main St. a few years ago and then we started seeing them with guns strapped to them (pistols and AR15 style automatic rifles). They looked to be mostly under 18. They would encircle people (I was one of those people) and terrorize Main St. We deserve better!
