This video was shot and posted by Memphis activist Hunter Demster and posted to Facebook on 6/6/25. I found it posted on r/50501 by u/transcendent167 from r/publicfreakout, 6/6/25.
You cannot tell me that this individual is a highly trained, competent law enforcement worker who has public safety as a priority. Things are going to get bad.

Here's my checklist, stay safe people!
If your answer is "no" to these questions, then you aren't ready.
- Have you saved up 30 days of food for everyone in your household and 10 days of water?
- Have you saved up 3 months of expenses? If you can't have you talked to your landlord about it?
- Have you signed up for: https://indivisible.org, https://fairelectionscenter.org, https://thevotetoday.org and https://generalstrikeus.com?
- Do you do something once a week OFFLINE to inform other Americans about what is going on?
- Have you spoken to your manager at work about a national labor strike? There is no reason to make your company your enemy and some will be on your side.
- Have you been to a protest?
- Have you discussed unionizing with your co-workers?
- Have you moved your financial accounts to new ones since DOGE took all of your data?
- Do you have a nearby community who you can share resources with case of a serious emergency?
- If you have investments, have you moved a portion outside of the US economy?
