Davis firing/reinstatement from ATL PD

Hey, so I think we should still add this, because the department did fire her, but after appealing to the city council they rehired her however. The records and report of the case can be found at: https://wreg.com/news/investigations/atlanta-files-show-investigators-detected-deception-in-daviss-testimony/ SocialistFootballer (talk) 14:55, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

That would likely breach WP:BLPCRIME. WWGB (talk) 03:02, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have just seen this after editing the article and including her employment history. There is no suggestion of criminality on her part, so I consider WP:BLPCRIME to be irrelevant. I consider it out task to add content from reliable sources without favour or disfavour to the subject, which I have done. CT55555(talk) 04:32, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, update, the source I used doesn't hint at criminality. The source above maybe does. So I see why we should avoid it. I used a source after assessing it to be reliable, so I think my edits avoid the issue hinted at above. CT55555(talk) 04:35, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

botched sex crimes probe story https://nypost.com/2023/01/28/memphis-police-chief-cerelyn-davis-fired-from-a-previous-job/ should be reinstated. "Two detectives accused Davis of telling them not to investigate Terrill Marion Crane, who was married to sergeant Tonya Crane after the police department obtained photos of him with underage girls."2601:C4:C300:A210:7836:446C:8BFA:F5CE (talk) 20:14, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, WP:NYPOST is an unreliable source, and we cannot use it. CT55555(talk) 20:18, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Don't shoot the NYPOST/messenger. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has run the same story https://www.ajc.com/news/crime/tyre-nichols-case-memphis-police-chief-was-once-fired-from-atlanta-police-department/AQOEVCMVXZHQPD2NILO5Q2EYWI/ https://www.union-bulletin.com/news/national/memphis-police-chief-was-once-fired-from-then-reinstated-to-atlanta-police-department/article_b193124f-3236-5206-8004-ec7d4b9450e4.html 2601:C4:C300:A210:7836:446C:8BFA:F5CE (talk) 20:25, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

And content from that source is already in the article, which is already cited. CT55555(talk) 20:48, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

i find it worse now, saying she was demoted and fired w/o any hint WHY. it makes the reader start speculating.

also, it's a little jarring being the FIRST LINE of the section. did she have NO career prior to this demotion? for starters, maybe a line or two about her JOINING atlanta is warranted first?? 2601:19C:527F:A660:5026:C459:698B:972A (talk) 12:02, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Or the reader could just click on the reference and read the whole story ... WWGB (talk) 12:05, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Also Memphis news WREG news reports the same, and has all files linked to their story

Also even if she was reinstated, we should put in the reports around her SocialistFootballer (talk) 16:20, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Total length of service as a police officer/chief

What is Ms. Davis total length of police service 2600:1017:B805:89CF:953C:F3C8:FCE7:F462 (talk) 23:45, 27 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

She has been in law enforcement since 1986, as the article now shows, but this is a place to discuss the article, so you are off topic a little here. CT55555(talk) 04:36, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Character

The world should know that CJ Davis has always had a humble, kind, sincere and empathetic spirit. She always had a willingness to help others and uplift officers within the Atlanta Police Department. She has always put God first in life and has a strong regard for mankind. She always wants for another person, what she would want for herself. She is the epitome of greatness and uplifts others around her, no matter what position she held. I know this because she helped me as a young officer. 64.255.91.31 (talk) 08:16, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Such content would require reliable secondary sources to confirm your personal opinion. WWGB (talk) 08:20, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WWGB, it is a talk page. Sourcing talk pages is irrelevant.Justanother2 (talk) Justanother2 (talk) 23:08, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

See that I said "content"? That means article text. There is no mention of sourcing talk pages. WWGB (talk) 00:50, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stop wasting my time and yours.Justanother2 (talk) 03:52, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The only person wasted anything here is you, Mr. SockPuppet (I had a feeling and checked the account page right after typing that comma :D) Either a sockpuppet of that IP poster or a sockpuppet of someone around Davis (or worse). jae (talk) 19:53, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Who is this first picture of?

Can I attach a photo or text? 9047883958 2600:1700:AC1C:2000:616B:CAE5:2821:CC35 (talk) 02:43, 29 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

disambig

she seems to go by "CJ" in most contexts. that should be reflected in the article, and hat tips/disambigs added -- at present "CJ davis" leads to 2 football players, not her at all! 2601:19C:527F:A660:5026:C459:698B:972A (talk) 12:04, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch. Ive added links from both those pages. CT55555(talk) 13:07, 30 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
