You’re such a lame little excuse of a person/troll. Please get either therapy or just go away!
You’re literally the Johnny Carson “I didn’t know that!” meme but like Johnny of course you know it.

“Tennessee National Guard patrols in Memphis began Oct. 10, the city of Memphis confirmed in an online update.
The troops are the latest addition to the "Memphis Safe Task Force," an initiative the Trump administration says is intended to end street and violent crime in Memphis.
… Personnel from more than a dozen federal agencies, as well as Tennessee law enforcement, began arriving in Memphis the week of Sept. 29 as part of the task force, amid ongoing speculation on when National Guard troops would show up.

“…But as Trump seeks to turn the Memphis crime crackdown into a broader selling point about Republican strength on public safety, local officials, advocates and data suggest a more complicated picture. Violent crime rates were falling well before the surge, in line with national trends. And city residents question whether the strategy will produce lasting gains or primarily serve short-term political goals. Six months in, city leaders and crime reduction advocates say they are navigating a persistent tension: frustrated by crime and open to additional help, but skeptical of heavy-handed policing that fails to address systemic problems.
