WMPD and Dwayne Chatt

The West Memphis Police recently bragged that after the killing of 12 year old DeAunta Farrow that they were back in the streets of West Memphis in full force fighting crime. Some citizens have complained that the police saturation's have only taken place in Black neighborhoods and that some officers were abusing their power.So is the case of 39 year old Dewayne Chatt who on last night was standing in front a church on 15th Street when police rode up on him. Chatt who family members say has a history of mental illness ran to the nearby Dodge Store on Broad Ave, where several officers followed him to the manager's office. Witnesses state that Chatt was beaten and tased at least 5 times by the officers. Chatt was also peppered sprayed as well.Instead of taking Chatt to a hospital he was taken to the Crittenden County Jail a little after 1 AM and was found dead about a hour later. It's also stated that when Chatt was brought to the jail that he was carried in, prehaps even dead at that point. The family met on Thursday afternoon with Attorney Javier Bailey who is preparing a lawsuit on behalf of the family.

This brilliant masterpiece is the latest in a long line of Thaddeus Matthews' propensity for bullshit. Watch this story fizzle out when everyone realizes how little merit it has. From our sources, Dwayne Chatt was a known mental case with a long history of drug abuse and arrests. He loved running from, hiding from, and fighting with the police.

Hmm...someone with such a medical condition as the family says he had, should really be running from and fighting the police after those crack cocaine binges huh?

I wonder how much Thaddeus will pay attention to this story if the officers involved are black. Probably the same amount of attention he gave to the other stories he let dwindle away. That will be a totally different thread for all to comment on.
