Crime in Memphis is so bad… they tried to kidnap the mayor. In this eye-opening video, we dive into the shocking rise—and sudden fall—of violent crime in Memphis, Tennessee. From viral billboards calling to "defund the police" to property crime destroying lives and livelihoods, Memphis has been in a state of emergency. Newly elected Mayor Paul Young vowed to clean up the streets, and initial data shows he’s made real progress—but not everyone’s happy. Trenton Abston allegedly scaled the mayor's wall, armed with a taser and rope, demanding answers. Was it a confrontation… or an attempted kidnapping? We break down everything, from the crime epidemic to the justice system’s contradictions, and ask: Is this what justice looks like in America’s crime capitals? Watch now and join the conversation.
