Memphis man accused of pointing gun at protesters arrested

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The man who was accused of pointing a gun at protesters Wednesday night has been arrested. 

Court documents stated Paul Staples pointed a handgun at protesters outside of his residence in the 400 block of Main Street Wednesday night. Protesters had gathered in the area in response to the news that only one of the three officers involved in the death of Breonna Taylor would be indicted.

  1. I rarely make a point of talking about family, but my grandpa was a long time resident of Memphis, and an Iwo Jima survivor from the Corp. to boot.

    He was a strict man of principal. There would have been no quarter. No warning. Safety off, open fire. Period. The 'protesters' *should* have walked away thankful to still have their lives to live.

    That clearly isn't the case. No. Quarter.

    1. Slightly less cannibalism and fewer Belgian names, though.

  5. Fucking cops going after the low-hanging "fruit". If the cops try to arrest the "protesters" soros will have 75 lawyers protecting them. So the cops go after the lone, homeowner, who can barely make his monthly bills.
    But the cops HAVE to get justice done. fuckem

  6. If ANYONE ever had a doubt as to the whether or not the "justice" (sic) system was EVER on the side of the citizenry the events of the past few months should have laid ALL doubts to rest. The "System" is TOTALLY corrupt. It exists to serve ONLY those in power and those working for it, ESPECIALLY those with badges can NEVER be trusted to protect you or your rights.

    It seems that he made at least a few errors that got him into trouble. Unless the crowd engaged or threatened him or his property first he shouldn't have even stepped out of his front door. Then he engaged in a yelling match which solidified the crowd's attention on him when they might have just passed him by. It also might have helped his case if he had started off by video taping the protesters as soon as they started congregating nearby.

    And maybe the most obvious and least excusable mistake was trying to turn in fake evidence. All the other circumstances might have been explainable depending on what happened in the heat of the moment. But I think most judges would see his attempted deception of the police as a failure on his part and a sign of bad faith.
