Optics - they want to suck up to the Clown with the added bonus of terrorizing those who would vote blue if they were a state.

That should clear things up for folks who believe this has anything to do with crime.

Same with South Carolina.

Why is anyone sending troops anywhere on "crime-fighting" missions? They do not have the proper training for it. This is a military takeover and has nothing to do with law enforcement. Another step to authoritarianism.

MAGA Governor

It seems often in Trump's administration that one hand doesn't know what the other tiny hand is doing. 🤔 👐

They’re terrified of the diaper-wearing, addlepated authoritarian.

Cuz DC has a black mayor.

Maybe the crime rate will drop when those troops leave Tennessee.🤣

you can bet your ass memphis is next

AND Nashville has a much higher rate than DC

because they will not arrest Elon's AI data center manager?

Ohio: CONTACT Gov DeWine over our National Guard. Leave a message SOMEWHERE no matter what. — Office: Main: 614-466-3555 2nd: 614-644-4357 Dayton: 937-285-6185 Email: governor.ohio.gov/contact/cont... List of DeWine’s top staffers you can leave a message with: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Everyone else who has the national guard participating, also contact your shitty governor. This is IMPORTANT.

Display of Fealty to their King. #nokings

Ha! You get a follow!

And Louisiana NOLA is a death trap!

Because Memphis has a higher crime rate.

Bolivar, Tennessee has 2097 violent crimes per 100,000 residents, despite only having a 5000 population. They should go there.

All of these states that are sending the National Guard to DC probably have a higher crime rate than DC

The red states ALL have higher crime rates!!!

That would be an excellent question!

Zackly! Memphis crime has been steadily downward trending for a while now too! It’s all bullshit!

You get a follow!

Because they're wagging the dog. They need to create a narrative that crime is so bad in DC that multiple states have to send in their NGs. This in turn gives them propaganda to point to as justification for the fascist takeover of other Democrat-heavy cities so they can oppress blue votes.

Republican Hypocrisy, that's why.

And who’s paying for this? The federal government? Is this a ploy to transfer funds to these states? Where are these guardsmen sleeping? How are they eating? This is bullshit!

Shhhhh… don’t make them send the guard to Memphis too… that’s city is all right

Concentration camps, military occupation of cities, seizing control of metropolitan police forces, and creating a national goon squad specializing in disappearing people is not ABOUT CRIME. Wake up.

Because, like math, logic is HARD!
