I live a n Nashville, the Cumberland river is a steep drop-off and they should put a barrier along it, especially where it passes thru the city. They need to do this to protect the tourists.
The fact that there are homeless camps all along that riverbank, means that the council will not allow an effective barrier to be constructed. When the parks department closed Brookmeade Park and built a security fence around it as part of the process of removing the homeless camp that had been in the park for over a decade, the council stipulated in the hearing where the parks department asked for approval to put up the fence, that the fence could not be completed to the point of blocking people from walking in and out of the park, as long as homeless people still lived in the park. If you drove by the park entrance after the fence was put up, you could see a path worn in the grass going back to where the gap had been left in the fence.
Newer report stated that it is her (she was able to give police her name), that she was in the river, but that she doesn't remember how she got into the river.
Government solution was to tax alcohol, which made it all better. Same thing happened after the May 2010 flood did so much damage in Nashville, due to the number of houses that had been built in areas that had flooded in the past. Nashville government imposed a "storm water fee" (which some locals referred to as a rain tax), and that made it all better, so they could go back to issuing building permits in areas with a history of flooding. Cabon tax... Tobacco tax... There's apparently no problem that government cannot "solve" by simply imposing a new tax.
Every Nashvillian needs to try to use their GPS on their phone downtown, next to the stadium, and watch it lead you in circles, over the river and back again. These people get frustrated and think they have to start swimming. The Stadium may have scramblers in place to thwart drone attacks, and that's why the GPS goes haywire downtown. Seriously, go fact check me - it's bad.
Near Gay Street in TN ... exactly where Riley went missing? Or, exactly where an officer was headed (and sent other officers) when Riley was walking by. Perp perhaps suspected of breaking the vehicle window. And, Riley's wallet was never found (credit card found upstream from last vetted video location). PLEASE reevaluate everything. If necessary. 🙏 Are these areas well lit or dark?
It's an area with homeless camps between the street and the river. A few years ago, the Nashville police department wanted to install more security cameras to monitor the area along the riverbank, but the Nashville council objected to the cameras, claiming that it would be an invasion of the right to privacy of the homeless people. The council has also indicated in the past that they view police patrolling near homeless camps as a form of harassment of the homeless.
Drunks who can't find their way back to where they are staying. It's basically the same thing that happened to the young man who lost his life. When you promote sin, these things will continue to happen.

Absolutely. There needs to be a wall up on both sides, so absolutely nobody can fall in to that river. How awful!
Tourists fall in the Grand Canyon quite often, should we fence it off too? Shouldn't we just have people be responsible for their own actions?
Updates? So is the woman in the video the one who was missing? It's not clear from the reporter's remarks.
Newer report stated that it is her (she was able to give police her name), that she was in the river, but that she doesn't remember how she got into the river.
Reporter/reader lacks education.
Oh, good point.
Yet alcohol remains legal... wild.

seems like a slightly Crack-ey area
It’s homeless camp area. So yeah it’s druggies all through there. Same area Riley went missing
They didn't find her, she found them.
Awful camera angle

It generates tax revenue (it was even referred to as a "sin tax" in the past), so the city government is OK with it.
I live in Snohomish County, WA. There once was a amendment or condition if a bar wanted to be opened a church needed to be built.
