Stephen Miller issued a shocking directive to police officials in a fiery speech in Memphis.
The White House deputy chief of staff joined Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Attorney General Pam Bondi in Tennessee on Wednesday to promote Donald Trumps so-called Memphis Safe Task Force.
In a rant aimed at motivating the federal law enforcement agencies operating in the state as part of Trumps crackdown on a claimed crime wave, Miller told Memphis police officers they were now unleashed to fight crime by order of the president.
We are sending in real cops with guns and badges to go out with you on the street every single night, making arrests, Miller said. These are people who have taken down drug cartel kingpins, the worst criminal offenders in the United States, standing with you, shoulder to shoulder to shoulder.

(53,469 posts)Claiming he wanted to eliminate any physical space, anywhere in Memphis where a citizen didnt feel safe, a fired-up Miller then took his impassioned rant up a notch.
This is Memphis, this is the United States of America, and all that bulls--t is done, Miller blasted. Its over, its finished.

(33,455 posts)I mean, way over the deep end of sadistic psychopathy.
We have some really sick sadists operating with unchecked
power in this world: Trump, Miller, Netanyahu, etc... and a
lot of equally sick businesspeople looking to profit from it.
So let's say much of Memphis gets the "Bibi" treatment..
qui bono?

who have been hardened with military equipment and watched beat cops turn into militarized urban assault squads; complete with uniforms and equipment that fit the bill.
If these real cops arent the solution; were fucked when the actual military steps in; further emboldening traditional law enforcement.
Weve entered an extremely dark period in our history.
Stay vigilant. Be prepared.

(3,601 posts)Yeah, except for all the innocent people afraid of being arrested without habeus corpus and sent to foreign prisons forever.
Right now that's immigrants, black and brown people.
Eventually, that would be all f us, if this were to continue.
These guys need some history lessons on why habeus corpus and police standards were instituted in the first place.
Then, if they think it can't happen to them, they need to study the French Revolution, for starters.
OK, Miller is a lost cause, but the public, and maybe some his sycophants could be educated

(2,862 posts)... he's always been this evil. There's a video from 2003 of him on a school bus no less extolling the virtues of torture and chopping off the fingers of suspects. At least one of his uncles has openly expressed his utter contempt for this malignant spawn of Satan. Remember the movie, Rosemary's Baby? Miller is proof that it actually happened.
I'm sure there are many who would gladly pay for the privilege of pissing on his grave.

(12,064 posts)If he has been bad since a baby, then he should have been institutionalized in grade school. If he wasn't physically abusive, but only verbally abusive, then it's a wonder he lived thru HS. When is this society going to put purely evil individuals behind bars? One can be evil without killing someone (e.g. my stepdad).

The mayor and police chief should remind that shriveled testicle of that fact.

(16,269 posts)During a Sunday morning phone interview with NBC White House Correspondent Yamiche Alcindor, Trump referenced a weekend conversation with Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, and he alluded to being told by Kotek that the reality in Portland is different from whats being portrayed to him: I spoke to the governor, she was very nice, Trump said. But I said, Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from whats happening? My people tell me different. "

(75,413 posts)* not a claimed crime wave but a bald faced lie so he can send out ICE agents and the military to
enforce his dictatorship over America by picking up people and deporting them without due process,
beat people up, and claiming that it is now a crime to have free speech and talk against America.
There is no crime wave not unless you are looking @ Trump and company.

(12,064 posts)This is NOT ICE. These individuals will be read their rights, jailed, investigated & if guilty, prosecuted. If prosecuted & found guilty, then they will be imprisoned in TN. On top of that they will probably be facing Federal charges as well.
I think TN bit off more than it can chew. If they have already arrested 53 & 20 for illegal gun charges, whew! That state is going to be busy!

(5,268 posts)In this rant, Steven Miller makes clear that people will be "exiled," that their money will be seized, that they will make up whatever charges they have to under whatever law they have. At the very end he remembers that he has to performatively give a nod to process, but he clearly doesn't mean it.
And looking at the people already killed in Chicago without due process, I think we now have evidence, not just supposition, that people won't be read their rights, investigated, and imprisoned only if found guilty. I think people will continue to be brutalized, Brownshirt style.
