Residents interviewed for this article said it was at times unclear which agencies’ officers were stopping them. Across the city, reporters have witnessed officers patrolling without badges or uniforms that identify their agencies.

When law enforcement officers do not identify their agencies while making stops, residents can’t demand accountability, civil rights advocates say. “This is way more than a police operation,” said Josh Spickler, executive director of Just City, a local criminal justice reform organization. “This is a power grab and a rapid erosion of your civil liberties.”

“If they’re not a criminal element, then they shouldn’t be afraid,” Lee said at the Oct. 14 news conference.

It may be obvious to most of of us, but its shocking its still not resonating that an agency that is unaccountable, unidentifiable, is walking in and making people, black americans born and raised, uncomfortable. I am sure someone delights in:

Some Memphis residents living in high-crime neighborhoods said they welcome the increased policing to make their communities safer.

“It’s good they’re here. Traffic is a lot lighter, and hopefully things will get better,” said Ann Morris, a 59-year-old bartender. Morris, who is Black, said she hopes it will serve as a “wake-up call” to the young men in the city.

Just know a lot of black people felt the same way about the crime bill thats so lamented. It was all good till it wasn't. Has there ever been a time where one was victimized by someone and said "Well shyt, doesn't matter now" to the next victimizer? No amount of deja-vu is going to not make this a big deal.
