Joe Brown Needs To Sit Dowm

"If you play with a puppy he'll lick you in the mouth." That's what I always say about these people hanging out with these shady characters. I don't care much for Joe Brown's politics, but I think he's tried and true. At least you know where he's coming from. He never really does anything unexpected. In his radio interview he said a lot, while still saying nothing. He has gotten good at that. He has been in office doing just that for the last ten years. I hoped he wouldn't put himself out there like that, but since he did. I'll make my comment.

I'm sure he's having second thoughts about his untimely outburst now. I don't know what they expected him to do about the unfortunate shooting that took place. Considering the good it will do, I think Joe Brown did a good job on such short notice. He got HCD Director Robert Lipscomb and all the council members (Brown, Fullilove,Swearengen-Ware) in that area. He got Sheriff Mark Luttrell and Larry Godwin the chief of police. All to commit to a meeting at a community center in North Memphis in the evening. Who better to discuss empowerment and crime? A Town Hall meeting will do little if anything to change prevailing conditions in that area. With all due respect. Joe Brown needs to sit down.
