There is not a real concern for reducing crime . It is but a ruse to instigate unrest and confrontation so as to be able to cite the “problem/crime” as civil unrest and halt the midterm elections. Everyone should do whatever they can to avoid a contact or confrontation with the forces trump is sending.

It’s fair to ask what Reeves, the Tennessee Governor, has done to alleviate crime during his SEVEN years in office!

Sending in the troops is temporary! What happens when they leave? Like she said they need money to fix the ills of Memphis. More work, higher wages, more youth programs, etc. The list is long, but the money would be better spent on lifting Memphis up, instead putting temporary foot on it. The problem will just come back! Memphis needs help!

He will end up trying to maintain a military presence long term, of some kind. Once he has military in a state thy wont leave. Its part of the autocratic plan.

I hope djt has too many “hot potatoes” to keep focusing on TN. He can only keep his attention for a tiny while.

I think we all know why he's deciding that a majority black city needs his troops.

Unfortunately, if T gets in there, we may see the first mass casualties in a large city by the US military. I hop not, but his motives switching from Chicago to Memphis are highly suspect.

I think he switched from Chicago because he knew they were't going to stand for it! All representatives of any American city should not stand for it either!

They are trying to incite violence. That’s all. So we must resist, especially in a majority minority city because they want “proof” that “we are animals” and therefore “must be dealt with”. We as a nation didn’t punish them enough during the civil war or during the race and culture wars during the 60s. They are all so damn lazy they can’t even be original. They are just repeating the same old tired tropes and tired narratives.

Exactly, and we're learning. STAY PEACEFUL. The National Guard is as sick of this as we are. Just ignore them and be nice. Keep calm and carry on and let the City officials deal with this.

I've lived in underdeveloped countries when strongman leaders would send troops into the streets. It was done solely to terrorize citizens. I am shocked that this is happening with virtually no condemnation from any Republicans. No one can look at those photos and pass them off as "law & order." There is no emergency, no matter what Trump says, other than what he creates with his illegal actions, but it seems that we are powerless to stop him. The international community should condemn him for repeated violations of human rights and shut down all interactions with him. No more state visits for Trump or his minions. Zilch.

Yes resist trump and all of his regime. They are all corrupt and do nothing even remotely intelligent. Bunch of liers. Led by a 34 count felon. Bring back sanity and the real America. Take the garbage regime out of the WH now.

Please Memphis. Be very careful and cautious. Use non violence training, add stop.ice for android or ICE BLOCK for iOS. Get a red card to know your rights. Trump would love to see the city burn. This is not beyond the realm of possibilities. People are hurting there,(thank Musk) as is much of America. Memphis, however, has special meaning to a great many people. It has a special legacy in the history of segregation. If Trump thinks there is an opportunity for a race war, he will stoke the fires daily. So will Miller. He wants us turning on each other.

Beware and prepare.
