Also, Trunp claims crime has gone DOWN in DC since the national guard was sent.. Which is actually true.. But, at a cost to taxpayers of almost half a million dollars a DAY and the reduction in crime is marginal So let’s increase funding to DC police to do the same WITHOUt militarizing DC!
I was hearing a million dollars a day.
I heard he isnt paying anyone, so he sees it as all free
Yeah, I'm the troops in NG don't like that.
My dad was in the NG. He says he’s cutting their assignments to 29 days because at 30 days he has to pay their housing costs. So they are getting screwed but are getting regular pay. Although, the majority told them are not FT NG and have other jobs they had to leave for this assignment.
Whew
So we pay them more and still little change in crime stats!
Right. Crime is really low in North Korea too but who wants to live like that?
Exactly, if everyone's too scared to walk out their front door I'm sure there will be very low crime because everyone will basically be on house arrest.
Yup Or when Trump and his gangsters say “we secured the border” All he did was slam the door shut on every immigrant and lined the border with military. Any idiot can do that The challenge is to continue the 250 year tradition of bringing in vetted immigrants, the lifeblood of America!
Crime in DC: was down to begin with Send in National Guard: flower beds are looking nicer Cost to taxpayers: services, programs, and reality
Forcible abduction by masked thugs is violent crime. Not making it into statistics
business has also gone down because people don’t want to live in a police state. Im sure crime would be super low if there were cops on every corner and military checkpoints on every block. But the cost would be liberty itself. What lowers crime is investing in people and not just with cops
Nazi Germany
Every violent criminal on the streets is a victim of societal systems that did not act in their best interests. We may not be able to absolve and reform them all, but understanding the causes and addressing them is very much an option, one we should pursue
Nope, crime has escalated, because this action is illegal!
Sure, crime has gone down, if you don’t count the millions in lawsuits for civil rights violations for NO REASON WHATSOEVER www.npr.org/2025/08/26/g...
Good point yup
At best sending the National Guard to DC is overkill. At worst it is a monumental waste of taxpayer’s money and an insult to our men in uniform.
Yup And this is a trial run for Trump’s martial law he will implement to stay in power
The people who commit crimes are just hiding and waiting it out. The media needs to stop saying there is a decline in crime IMO.
LOL the media ! The media is the fan club cheering section of deranged president
You’re right
