YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFederal and state forces flood Memphis under the banner of “safety.” Journalist Wendy Thomas exposes how Trump’s Safe Memphis Task Force turned a majority-Black city into a militarized zone.
Wendy Thomas, founder of MLK50: Justice Through Journalism, joined Roland Martin Unfiltered to reveal how the so-called “Safe Memphis Task Force” has created fear, not safety. With more than 1,700 arrests since September 29 and no racial data being tracked, Memphis residents face constant surveillance and intimidation from unmarked vehicles and armed officers.
🔥 Governor Bill Lee admits the coordination between local and federal agencies will “last forever.”
🔥 A majority-Black city is living under occupation — no transparency, no accountability, no end date.
🔥 Residents report unmarked vehicles, pretextual stops, and harassment under the guise of “public safety.”
🔥 Activists with Free the 901 Coalition call it what it is: a militarized crackdown on a Black city.
🔥 Wendy Thomas connects the dots — this isn’t about safety, it’s about control.
