Neuropeon Stephen Miller Claims to “Unleash the Memphis Police!” But Elite Liberals Already Did That. Last Year DOJ Found ‘Predatory Cops Routinely Impose 2nd Class Citizenship on Blacks w/Violence’

Miller’s speech, in which he told Memphis police officers that they were being “unleashed” with the full support of the federal government to “go out and get the criminals off the streets,” comes a day after President Donald Trump told military leaders that they should use “dangerous” U.S. cities as “training grounds.” [MORE]

One thing about neuropeon Stephen Miller is that if you give him the mic for too long he will play himself, because he’s like that. Here, dood is a little late to the game. Less than a year ago on December 4, 2024 the DOJ announced its thorough findings that the ‘Memphis Police Department routinely and pervasively deprives Black people of their Constitutional rights and follows policies that grossly discriminate against black people in its highly segregated city.’

The justice department began investigating the police force for the Tennessee city in 2023, after the death of Tyre Nichols, who was brutally tortured and murdered by police during a traffic stop.

In its report from the investigation the department said Memphis police "must correct these issues" that it said were part of a "pattern" of civil rights violations.

The report states, “We have reasonable cause to believe that MPD and the City engage in a pattern or practice of conduct that violates the Constitution and federal law. First, MPD uses excessive force. Second, MPD makes unlawful stops, searches, and arrests. Third, MPD unlawfully discriminates against Black people when enforcing the law. Fourth, the City and MPD unlawfully discriminate when responding to people with behavioral health disabilities.”

Memphis has relied on traffic stops to address violent crime. The police department has encouraged officers in specialized units, task forces, and patrol to prioritize street enforcement. Officers and community members have described this approach as “saturation,” or flooding neighborhoods with traffic stops…

Memphis police officers regularly violate the rights of the people they are sworn to serve. Our investigation found that officers use force to punish and retaliate against people who do not immediately do as they say. They rapidly escalate encounters, including traffic stops, and use excessive force even when people are already handcuffed or restrained. They resort to intimidation and threats. They have put themselves and others in harm’s way—officers have unlawfully fired at moving cars and accidentally pepper sprayed and fired Tasers at each other. ..

The report explains that “police officers [are] stopping and detaining large numbers of drivers for minor infractions without legal justification. In a city of about 630,000 people, MPD officers reported making 866,164 traffic stops between January 2018 and August 2023. The number of stops may be even greater. They cited or arrested drivers in at least 296,685 cases, predominantly for minor infractions.

In general, DOJ found on 12/24 that:

  • MPD Escalates Encounters Involving Low-Level and Traffic Offenses, Leading to Unreasonable Uses of Force.

  • MPD Uses Unjustified Neck Restraints.

  • The Memphis Police Department Uses Unreasonable Force on People Who Are Restrained or Under Control.

  • MPD’s Deficient Policies and Training Contribute to Excessive Force.

  • MPD Conducts Unlawful Stops, Searches, and Arrests

  • MPD Makes Unconstitutional Stops

  • MPD is more likely to cite or arrest Black people for drug-related offenses than white people.

  • MPD disproportionately cites Black drivers for minor traffic offenses.

  • The City and MPD Unlawfully Discriminate in Their Response to People with Behavioral Health Disabilities. [MORE]
