If there is some "87%" drop in crime, it's from having a militarized police state that no one wants to go to. Yeah, if people stop going places, there will be a lot fewer carjackings. This also ignores the carjackings by ICE and armored military vehicles crashing into cars.

Small quibble: "cubic" converts measures of length into measures of volume -- cubic meters, cubic yards. It means a cube with an edge of that length would have the volume intended. It makes no sense when combined with a measure of weight. There are no cubic pounds, cubic kilograms, or cubic tons.

Why did Trump fire all but four of the National Park Service employees who used to do the gardening and trash pickup? The National Guard is thousands of times more expensive than NPS. Crime rate is down 32%. Looks like waste, fraud, and abuse is being committed by this administration… again.

Are you really comparing National Parks to cities? A 32% decrease is bullshit and even if it were true, it isn’t good enough. If you want to improve inner cities, the first step is making people feel safe. Money should be spent there and not on USAID or illegals. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
