CCTV News : On the evening of the 12th local time, Brandon Weber, a black young man in Memphis, Tennessee, was shot and killed by a bailiff. After the incident, local residents violently clashed with the police. On the evening of the 14th, CCTV reporters exclusively visited the site of the incident and interviewed local residents on the spot.

Weber, the black young man who was shot and killed by the bailiff, was the father of two children. In the eyes of his relatives, friends and neighbors, he is a gentle, hard-working and progressive person. Everyone was deeply saddened by Webb's shooting death by a bailiff and skeptical of the police's claims that Webb was guilty of multiple crimes.

Local residents recalled that at the time of the incident, the bailiff went to Weber's residence to arrest him on the grounds that he had been charged with multiple felonies. After a confrontation between the two sides, the bailiff shot Weber, hitting him several times and dying on the spot. After the incident, local residents gathered near the scene of the incident, trying to figure out what happened. The police formed a human wall and asked residents to step back and leave the scene. At this time, some protesters threw stones at the police, and the police fired tear gas to disperse the crowd, resulting in violent conflicts.

At the same time, local residents also mentioned that just a few hours before the shooting, the local prosecutors had just announced that they would not prosecute the police officers involved in another case of police shooting of a black man in 2018, which aroused the anger of the local people.

Memphis is located in Tennessee, USA. More than 60% of the population is black. Blacks account for more than 80% of the residential area where the incident occurred. According to local residents, 90% of the local police officers are white.

Local residents: Police violent law enforcement is not accidental

Several days have passed since Brandon Webber, a black young man in Memphis, Tennessee, was shot and killed by a bailiff, but the pain caused by the incident to local residents still lingers. On the 15th, CCTV reporters further visited Weber’s community and recorded local residents’ questions about the police’s violent law enforcement and their dissatisfaction with racial discrimination.

Neighbors still find it difficult to accept Weber's death. They believe that the police's violent law enforcement is inhumane, and they raise questions about the fact that the police have not released any video of the relevant law enforcement process.

Some local residents believe that Weber's shooting by the bailiff was not an accident. In Memphis, incidents of police brutality against black people, resulting in injuries and deaths, have occurred for decades. Just a year ago, another local black youth was shot and killed by the police, and the police officer involved was not prosecuted, which disappointed local residents.

CCTV reporter Zhu Xili : In fact, over the years, there have been many incidents across the United States where white police officers violently enforced the law, leading to the death of black people, and triggered many protests and demonstrations. The violent conflict between police and citizens in Memphis can be said to be another outbreak of anger caused by racial issues in American society for a long time.
