Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."

WTF utility is there in a few weeks of selective data?! You can’t analyze crime statistics using windows of a few weeks. Shame on whoever this “journalist” is. Yes, if you blanket a city with soldiers, crime will temporarily go down. THE EFFECT ISN’T REAL OR SUSTAINABLE.

A short term impact on crime statistics when troops are initially deployed to a city does not indicate any real improvement. Even if the troops stay, crime will go back up to pre-troop levels. And the troops won't stay. It just is not a serious solution to reduce crime.

Ugh. CBS Face the Nation continues to be unwatchable.

Ed O’Keefe is unwatchable! He’s got nothing to say. He let Noem ramble and lie, lie, lie! How did he do that?

He doesn’t understand the Constitution or laws, but those behind him do, you can be sure. They are using him and his threatening tactics to get to where they want to go. I’m sure they are winning quite a few battles, but you have to make sure they don’t win the war.

And he’s on his deathbed, doesn’t have the capacity to read or comprehend anything he reads. Come to think of it, never had that capability in the first place! Out of total stupidity!

Those crime numbers are unbelievable! In the space of three weeks? How would that happen and how could one actually measure it that quickly?

He doesn't understand them because he never read them, and doesn't care to. The rules simply don't apply to him.

He thinks they don’t apply to him and he always gets away with this.

Dictators don’t read books and don’t care about the constitution or any rule of law. They only care about their own interests by any means necessary.

Pritzker misses the point on this one. People are scared of armed military on their streets and are not living their lives as usual. Talk about the stats in terms of numbers, not percents, and the impact of military on business, tourism, and on resident's freedoms.

Not about understanding. It is about power and control and the fascists have it

I do hope Pritzker runs for President. He speaks with clarity and a passion, with love for his country, that is so desperately needed at this terrible moment in our history.

Yeah, last time a President mobilized to send the militia to a state that didn't request it it didn't turn out well ... for that state, but it turned out really well for the enslaved people in that state.
