Like the faux "economies" of DOGE, the occupation of cities by military will not make them safer. It's a shallow, performative power grab. Trump has no real answers to national problems, only empty grandstanding bravado. It takes serious research and thought to improve things. He has NO clue.

Exactly. A safe city is a city that has vanquished what the UK social scientist William Beveridge called the 5 evils: Want Disease Ignorance Squalor Idleness When everyone has enough for a decent quality of life then crime falls.

Yes, everyone says serious crime has been falling, but I wonder it that's coasting on the last administration. Now that Trump has cut the knees out from under many social programs and jobs, more people are going to be put in a tight corner with fewer options. I'm guessing crime goes up.
