Thud the whiner....

Awwwww! This is just TERRIBLE. Sniffle sniffle...Hey Thud, wipe the tears and snot before you continue with your sob story.

This evening while sitting downtown in a local church where the NAACP was holding a political forum my cell phone started to vibrate letting me know that I was receiving a text message. I noticed that the text was coming from the centrex number that belongs to 201 Poplar.The number 545-3030 is the number that shows on any caller ID coming out of that building. I noticed that the text was a threat on my life. I was sitting with my close friend Randy Wade who is the Memphis Director for Congressman Steve Cohen. I received 4 text messages all with threats of murdering me,and letting me know that they knew where my mother lived. What I found interesting was the fact that the texter knew where my car that I no longer drive was located. One text that I did not post here on the site was to let me know that my home address was known.The threats started about an hour after I posted the story on Eric Dates and Thomas Motes,both police officers who have been arrested for DUI and who both refused "The Drunk Test" which means that for at least a year they will not be able to drive,which means now that this information has been exposed they most likely will lose their jobs.It is my belief that the police department had plans as in the case of Duanna Johnson to attempt to cover up this matter,especially since Dates is the son of mayor Willie Herenton's close friend Cliff Dates. Cover ups within the police department is not new. On Feb 12,2008 Officer Bridges McRae brutally attacked Duanna Johnson with handcuffs wrapped around his hands in plain view of a surveillance camera.McRae was placed on non-enforcement status the very next day taking a desk job at the Union Station Precinct. Only after the tape showing the beating was exposed did an investigation start. There is no way that it took this long for an investigation to get started ,when a hearing for McRae was set immediately after the tape was revealed. Further proof that the department was aware of what happened is the fact that McRae filed a complaint with The Internal Affairs Bureau against Sgt Wiley Taylor of the police department because Taylor who was present at the jail at the time of the beating did not assist him.While I take all threats seriously they will not prevent me from continuing to expose corruption in the Memphis Police Department. Neither will it stop me from using the various sources within the department to reveal those who have no business wearing the badge. My sources know that I will not reveal who they are,that's the reason some very close to Larry Godwin constantly feed me information about him and his cronies.There has been a concern in the last week as to whether or not it was me that got hold of the tape from the police department and turned it over to the lawyers of Duanna Johnson,but you know I will never answer that question one way or the other.In January I received death threats after my posting on the shooting death of Timothy Jones in North Memphis,and then again after my release of a police statement from the person police wanted to say killed a police officer. I called My Harrison of the FBI who in turn had agents contact me. Needless to say I have not heard back from them. Knowing that I can't take these threats to Larry Godwin or Bill Gibbons I called Congress Cohen tonight who states that he will make a personal request on my behalf with Harrison on tomorrow morning. I will be requesting that The U.S. Justice Department investigate the Memphis Police department.The posting of the threats from my cell phone is so that this city and those who view this site around the country will know just how corrupt this police department is,and that we have a mayor who is turning his head to the facts that stare him in the face. While I am taking special precautions at my mother's house. I will not bow to any threats from anyone including Godwins Goon Squad.And understand this I don't do any drugs so attempting to plant drugs on me or one of my cars will not work, I'm not depressed about anything so I won't be taking my life. And if the police decide to send someone at me, they best send them right because I won't give a second thought to taking their life even if it's the police. If I had a fear of death or what someone was going to do to me than I would not publish my views on this site or say the things I say on radio. Corruption must be fought and fought without the fear of what some one is going to say or do. For some reason Willie Herenton has a fear of Larry Godwin but I don't and will continue to expose the corruption of those who seek to violate the law and rights of citizens instead of enforcing the law and making sure no one's rights are violated.

This just breaks my heart that Thud is getting threats. More than likely, it is NOBODY associated with the MPD. This is probably ANOTHER one of Thud's publicity stunts and routine stories that he uses to gain ratings and attention. I could care less if someone DOES decide to erase him from society, but it won't have to be a rogue cop that does it. Thud has more enemies out there that aren't cops. Sleep tight you fat bastard.
