'You are unleashed': [Goebbles!] Officials rally Memphis law enforcement ahead of National Guard troop deployment (Memph

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/memphis-stephen-miller-unleashed-national-guard-b2837719.html

Law enforcement officers in Memphis are “unleashed” to make arrests, White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller declared as the Trump administration launches a crime crackdown in the city.

Last month, President Donald Trump mobilized the National Guard and established the “Memphis Safe Task Force,” a collection of about a dozen federal law enforcement agencies ordered to fight crime in Tennessee’s second-largest city. National Guard troops are expected to arrive within the next two weeks, Memphis Police Chief Cerelyn "CJ" Davis said Tuesday.

“To the guns and bats in this room, you are unleashed,” Miller told the crowd. “The handcuffs you’re carrying? They’re not on you anymore, they’re on the criminals.”

"Every resource we have — federal, state and local — we are going to use to dismantle their networks without apology and without mercy,” Miller vowed. “Everything we have, we are going to bulldoze the criminal element of this city and thereby liberate all the law-abiding citizens in this city.”

More at link. In another article I can't find atm stated rethug TN govt us spending $100 mill to "clean up" Memphis.

13 fed agencies are said to be involved, under the direction of the US Marshalls.

Bondi mentioned fleaon's super ai computer & Dell wanting to open a facility here.

Memphis absolutely is the most dangerous city in the US, the only US city to be named on the Top 10 Most Dangerous Cities in the World.

Here is the problem: Memphis is 67% Black! You know baby goebbles is famous for abusing civil rights & I fear for the Black community.

This is NOT about ICE. This appears to be a coordinated rethug effort to wrest control of local government from the citizens of Memphis.

Fleaon is reported to be planning to buying Chik Fil-A food for Guard members.

The state comotroller just refused to approve the Memphis budget & rethugs have been trying to take 8ver control of the Memphis school ststem for months!



On edit: I do not live in Memphis, but relatively close by at the moment.
