A retired Germantown police captain with a communication disorder was thrown out of a Midtown bar after the bartender thought he was intoxicated.

According to the Memphis police report, officers responded to a mental consumer call Friday at Jack MaGoo's Bar on Broad Avenue.

Bar security told officers that the patron, Brian Roper, caused a disturbance and the bartender asked him to leave. Roper refused to talk to the bartender and was physically removed from the bar, according to the report.

An officer found Roper sitting on the ground outside of the bar where he presented a card stating he is diagnosed with aphasia. Aphasia is a disorder caused by damage to the parts of the brain that control language.

Using gestures and a notepad, the officer was able to determine that Roper went into the bar to have a drink, but was not served because the bartender could not understand his order.

MEMPHIS, TN- (WMC-TV) - About a dozen people showed up outside the administrative offices of Shelby County Schools Thursday morning, not to protest, but to show their support for unified schools.

Braving the cold and media microphones, a dozen or so members of various non-profit groups shared their hopes and support for a Unified Shelby County School district.

"I think what's really neat is when you bring the voices of these organizations together to talk about this work as a whole," said Lisa Watts of Teach Plus. "How it affects teachers, how it affects students. And at the end of the day, how it affects the community at-large, because our teachers and our students are the greatest aspect of what we do in our community."

Watts believes the more involved the community is in the merger process the better it is for the children whose education depends on a successful merger.
