Despite having a detailed timeline with evidence (audio, video, text messages, emails, a witness, etc) correlating with the incidents that showed the defendant, Tayvana Todd, threatening and harassing me, Collierville Police Department has continuously tried to circumvent the law and discredit the victim, which was me. This department has failed repeatedly to look and hear my audio and video footage to avoid having to acknowledge the evidence. Now, I am aware that they know that I am an investigative journalist, who did a complete breakdown on officers personnel records in my rape case, so they may despise me to say the least.

In addition, a police officer (black male) with the Collierville Police Department shared my address and protected details about my child and me to his family member. Shelby County is an area that many people know each other or of each other. Thus, this violation circulated back to me with full details.

I wish people would understand that the most destructive and pressing issue is not racism, but corruption. In my rape and abuse case, black male and female officers, detectives, and prosecutors enjoined with their white officers and prosecutors for a common cause to circumvent, distort, lie, fabricate, and conceal evidence to create narratives that did not exist. Does racism exist? Yes, but it should take a back seat to corruption, which is the true issue at hand. Despite the prosecutor Glenda Adams in my case getting indicted and charged with several felony charges for allegedly conspiring with police officers in August 2021, it did nothing for the pain that she caused in concealing my rape and abuse case.

I understand that Collierville residents may be unsettled by Collierville Kroger shooting that left the shooter and a victim dead and more than a dozen people injured. Thus, the public may be more inclined to accept Collierville Police’s and District Attorney Weirich’s behavior, which includes concealing, fabricating evidence, and repetitive misconduct rulings from the Tennessee Supreme Court. The recent overwelming reported news coverage of a surge in gun crime may make residents more receptive to police department’s and Weirich’s tough-on-crime stance; research has shown that media coverage of crime can lead to increased public support for punitive criminal justice policy.

I am not against punishing actual criminals, but we have to demand both: safety and accountability. We should not trade a perceived safety for corruption. In the end, we will not have safety nor freedom: both will be taken from us. Please research the history of trading freedom for safety, as it is a path full of despair and darkness, which the founding fathers knew all to well.

Collierville Police would like to believe that they do not have a corruption issue, but this is not true. This department may be slightly less corrupt than Memphis Police Department, but this department still bathes in it. Less corruption does not equal none.

The failure to investigate a Collierville Police employee allegedly taking data out of the system and using it to intimidate is corruption. The failure to obtain evidence, so you can refuse to acknowledge that it exist is corruption. Officers sharing personal and protected information with their family members is corruption. Officers twisting and distorting facts to try to fit a narrative that does not exist despite there being evidence is corruption. Detectives refusing to give victim(s) the prosecutor’s name is corruption. Blacklisting and failing to protect citizens is corruption.

Thus, Collierville police should please refrain from telling the public that they are not corrupt because Collierville Police are indeed corrupt. Now, people, who are more affluent or have friends or family members that work for Collierville Police may feel different. However, your experience is not offered to everyone. There are some good officers, who may still show bias that could easily cause them to sway to a certain disposition. Then, there are bad officers, who have ill intentions throughout the process, so they circumvent the laws, disregard evidence, and fabricate information.

As you read this database, you will see that my rape and abuse was covered up by Memphis Police Department and Shelby County District Attorney’s Office. However, I did not discuss my father being murdered by a Memphis police officer, which the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office conspired to help cover up as well. I hope that you see a common theme with the prosecutors conspiring with police officers. You should read the database on the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office, as Harvard Law determined that Weirich’s Office has the most misconduct of any prosecutor, as they are known for concealing and fabricating evidence.

My Father Was Murdered By Officer John Pasley:

Now, some people who hold bias for police officers will automatically say, “He must have been a dindu nuffin”, but he was not. He was a father and husband, who had 3 jobs of which 1 was located in Memphis. At the time, my dad was leaving his job located in Memphis when he encountered officer John Pasley.

Officer Pasley wrote a police report that was completely fabricated and concealed his crime and labeled my father as suspect who went for the officer’s gun. However, 3 eyewitnesses recounted an event that completely contradicted the police report.

The 3 independent witnesses that saw Officer Pasley murder my dad in cold blood: Ernst Holbrook, James Wilson, and Quincy Hamilton.

These witness statement recounted the same story even though they were not all in the same area. They stated that Officer Pasley walked up to my dad and pointed the gun at my dad’s head, so my dad raised his hands in the air. Then, Officer Pasley lowered his weapon to my dad’s chest and shot him. My dad grabbed his stomach and began to fall to his knees, as the officer kept shooting. After my dad was on the ground, Officer Pasley walked over to my dad and stood over him with his hand on the trigger preparing to shoot my dad again until another police car appeared. Officer Pasley hesitated as though he wanted to shoot him again, but pulled back and stepped away from my dad.

While my dad was dead on the ground, these officers handcuffed him to stage a photo.

The NAACP called my dad’s death an execution style murder.

The people who think that all officers are good and the legal system is mostly just and fair are just as bad as the people who think everything done to them is due to racism. Both of you are blind.

When officers and prosecutors can kill us and lie on us with impunity, the system is corrupt.

Note: I am not a person against police officer or the district attorney’s office. Matter of fact, I believe that we should pay police officers at least $100,000 per year (depending on the location, it should be higher) along with proper training and extensive mental health support. However, I will never support a Police Department or District Attorney’s Office that conceals corruption in any form. Accountability is the only acceptable means to avoid a corrupt system. This site is holding them accountable. You are not above the law.
