The White House deputy chief of staff got fired up during a trip to Memphis.

At one point, Miller told the assembled local police officers, “I see the guns and badges in this room. You are unleashed. The handcuffs you’re carrying, they’re not on you anymore, they’re on the criminals. And whatever you need to get it done, we’re gonna get it done.”

The 40-year-old stated that they had deployed over 13 government agencies, including the FBI, DEA, ATF, ICE, and the Department of Defense, which Hegseth has since rebranded as the “Department of War.”

“The gangbangers that you deal with, they think that they’re ruthless, they have no idea how ruthless we are,” Miller added.

“They think they’re tough, they have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore, we are so much more hardcore than they are, and we have the entire weight of the United States government behind us. What do they have? They have nothing behind them. So we are gonna win, they’re gonna lose.”

At the Wednesday appearance, Hegseth thanked the assembled Memphis law officers for working in dangerous places “where politicians spend a lot of time second guessing… the impossible decisions that you have to make that they will never understand.”

Hegseth, Bondi and Miller spent around an hour in the Shelby County Office of Preparedness and left via the rear entrance, according to WREG TV.

Bondi said on X that 53 arrests had been made and 20 illegal firearms seized in the first two days of the Memphis Safe Task Force.

    And in their haste to prove how “hard core” they really are, some jackass with the task force has already managed to roll his vehicle on top of another vehicle that was just sitting at a red light, and put some poor kid in the hospital.

    I hope he sues the state and federal government.

    Unmarked car involved in crash, ends up on top of vehicle in Frayser, witnesses say

    Witnesses told WREG Wednesday evening that the unmarked vehicle was chasing the other car when it was hit going through an intersection at Frayser Boulevard and Watkins Street.

    The unmarked vehicle had its blue lights on but did not have sirens on when it entered the intersection, witnesses said.

    Who needs sirens during a chase? People should just expect you to come barrelling through an intersection any moment.

    Witnesses said that the woman driving down Watkins Street collided with an unmarked vehicle that was chasing another car on Frayser Boulevard.

    A witness reported that the collision caused the unmarked car to become airborne and land on top of another vehicle at a red light.

    This is so fucking dumb and infuriating. Straight out of Idiocracy. Day 2 and you’ve already almost killed someone’s child who happened to be in the way of your airborne vehicle.

    “And let me be very clear. I am a career prosecutor. If you touch a law enforcement officer, it is a crime and you are going to jail. We are arresting anyone who touches any of you,” said Bondi.

    Honesty expecting Bondi to claim that kid was with antifa.
