The image is a still from a video taken by Hunter Demster who was told he would have to move 25 feet away or face misdemeanor charges due to a TN law that went into effect in July.

The Tennessee law is similar to those passed in Indiana and Louisiana, which two federal courts have ruled unconstitutional due to the laws’ vague nature in allowing police broad discretion to create buffer zones.

National Guard members were seen patrolling a popular commercial area after arriving in Memphis on Friday and there have been reports of an increase in immigration raids and stop-and-frisk policing.

On Monday October 13, 2025, the DOJ released the following numbers and reasons for arrests of over 800 individuals (including 17 juveniles) in Memphis:

• Warrant pickups - 297

• Administrative (Immigration) - 161

•Firearms Arrests - 94

•Narcotics - 79

•Homicide - 6

•Probation/Parole - 2

•Sex Offenses - 34

130 unexplained "other" charges

62 "known gang members" were also reportedly identified in the operation.

The Memphis task force is composed of state, federal, and local agencies. The majority of arrests have occured following traffic stops of Memphis residents.

That's the thing about "hierarchies" that rely on manipulating and dividing the masses to carry out social darwinism for them. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join, as long as they can be exploited. Once you've served your purpose, you find out real quick your new purpose is simply to replace the scapegoat you helped eliminate.

It doesn't matter if you're JD Vance, Bari Weiss, or some random schmo that joined ICE bc they just needed the money and didn't mind hurting other people. You do not belong at the top of their hierarchy. You don't "earn" a spot. You're either born into it, or you're not. In case it wasn't already obvious, claims of meritocracy are part of the projection and manipulation thing.

It's amazing that people are dumb enough to believe that the same families of generational wealth, who have recycled and relied on this same strategy over and over again, have simply made a special exception and welcomed them into the club. As long as they don't step out of line, and as long as they always do as they're told, they'll be safe, regardless of what history tells them.

They're so busy enjoying the little taste of power and belonging that they've been rewarded with for enabling the "lions," they won't even realize they're being fattened up to make a more convincing public sacrifice until it's too late.

Remember Mike Pence? Even if you meet the exact blue print of the movement you still get fucked over by fascists.

Nah, his loyalty will be rewarded with a cushy job as a concentration camp guard, where he can abuse, rape, and murder inmates to his heart's content.

Historically no, most are treated as though they can't be trusted and are often killed en masse because fuckin duh. A select few will get treated well but never completely trusted because again duh.
