When I saw 'Guard unit' & 'racism', it made me recall a story Popdigr told. He was in the TN Nat'l Guard when they were mobilized after Martin Luther King, Jr was shot.

They rolled into Memphis, and everyone was piling outta the truck. They started handing out live ammo, and Pop's commander picked him and another guy out, and told them to turn out the two street lights on the street where they were. They looked at each other like "How in the hell do you turn out a street light?" Their commander-dude took two or three steps away, and then seeing the lights on, came back, snatched Popdigr's rifle away and slammed back into his chest and screamed "Turn them goddamned lights out!!"

They did.

Might be the only people ever to shoot out the street lights of Memphis, legally.

Must've been a hell of a time back then.
