Apologies to “LeRoy Brown” composer, the late Jim Croce. Now, I don’t know whether or not Alvin Bragg is the baddest “Cat” under the City Flag, but I do know that he is certainly the worst District Attorney.

The Tyre Nichols beating death at the hands of Memphis police is indeed a tragedy. By all accounts, Nichols was an affable and law abiding individual that was dedicated to his four year old son and was close to his mother. He had no criminal record.

Has there been some cosmic shift in America’s expectations of politician honesty, which normally runs between slim and none?
