Mephis, TN – Shelby County Sheriff’s deputies arrested 71 people, including 31 fugitives, during a 24-hour street sweep that ended about a half hour after sunrise Sunday.
The sheriff’s office and 50 federal, state and local law enforcement agencies pulled over cars, climbed on boats on the Mississippi River and served fugitive warrants as part of an "anti-terrorism initiative," called Operation Sudden Impact.
It was the first time that many agencies joined forces for such a large sweep, said Shelby County Sheriff Mark Luttrell, whose office coordinated the operation.

Even though Memphis hasn’t suffered a terrorist attack, the city is using federal grants to fight crime, which might lead to the discovery of a terrorist suspect. Other cities are using federal money with similar programs.
"Our community is considered an international distribution center and is a possible target for terrorists," said Capt. Dale Lane, commander of the Sheriff’s Office Homeland Security Bureau.
The 100 sheriff’s deputies working Saturday night and Sunday morning also recovered 12.2 grams of heroin, 19 syringes and seized $1,795. They issued citations for 202 traffic violations.
Information gathered in the sweep will be reviewed by intelligence officers at the local Homeland Security center. The information will be forwarded to the state’s Homeland Security center in Nashville.
Other agencies that participated in the sweep will release results from their departments today.

“Law enforcement agencies join together for ‘anti-terrorism initiative’”
Does that mean they’re dismantling the CIA?

Too much money in government. After the 9/11 false flag operation the Feds have lathered the entire country in billions of $$ in croney money. It’s got to be spent on something. Even if only 80% of the money goes “missing” due to corruption that leaves quite a bit left over. So the lowly cops and other beuaracrats get a field trip so they can mess with people. Welcome to the kleptocracy of our times. PATHETIC. Why can’t we have Ron Paul be president? Imagine how proud we’d all be to be Americans again. Imagine.

Some enterprising lawyer will take this and run with it.
The Supreme Court has ruled non-specific sweeps un onstitutional before, and will again.
It will cost the departments involved far more than the money they found…but they don’t care…seeing as how its your money they’re paying with.
Interesting that the Federal conditioning of local law enforcement continues. The communists and fascists of old would be proud of how quickly the cells are being established.

torcher, lies, stealing, causes, politics, money, cities, wars, religions= a giant web of deception for the naive human brain which seeks out companionship, the manipulator understands this more than the naive person, hence today after years of manipulators, we have the above mentioned facets of reality we have allowed to brew and get moldy in the pot.
humans could be like star trek by now, but sadly we all have certain annoyances holding us back from the future realised.

Why don’t these law enforcement officers help guard our borders and stop all the illegals from coming into the United States. Every day we are getting the worst of the worst into this Country and no one is stopping it. This is the United States of America, not Mexico.
