Tennessee Senator Brent Taylor called to update us on the letter he sent to TBI asking for an investigation into the decision by MPD not to arrest the activists who organized the I40 bridge shutdown with their pro Palestine / cease fire demonstration. For hours hundreds of cars and trucks were stuck with no way to get to Memphis area hospitals and distribution centers because of the demonstration and the work being done on the I55 bridge. The event was planned knowing that the I55 bridge would not be open, thus causing maximum inconvenience.
