To the point that when Graham beat back a primary challenge earlier this year with help from Trump's endorsement, he said, "Mr. President, you are not far behind God." And if your Sam Greenglass reporting, funeral arrangements are pending. The Memphis Safe Task Force, designed to make the city safer, is under scrutiny after

Memphis District Attorney Stephen Mulroy points to the way officers are trained for the task force. In training, she observed Mulroy says instructors mocked the concept of de-escalation and referenced
