It’s all about stoking fear. Images like this are intended to intimidate us into submission. Many of us wake up each morning worried about the coming military state, but we have to remain courageous and fight back.

Let’s be honest. Is he going to send the military to red states with high crime? To Memphis? Houston? Cleveland? If it were about crime he’d send the Guard to those cities too… yet he hasn’t mentioned those places.

Hmmmmm….. Sounds like an honest response. But for myself, I don’t think we need a military presence in all cities, whether red or blue. Seems like the beginning of a military state.

Second, if the experts for some reason said a military operation were required, I would mobilize them in both red and blue cities with high crime. Not doing this sends the message that the president is purposely stoking civil conflict.

I’m no expert in crime, so if I were the president I would first bring together a team of bipartisan experts to create a viable plan. Then I would reach out to D and R mayors to hold pressers to communicate and implement the plan in various cities to prevent any kind of divisiveness among citizens.

Why is it that now that Donald Trump is taking back the streets of our country that now all of a sudden there’s some sort of bipartisan option out there when is the Democrats help the Republicans ever?

In logic classes they call this fallacy ad hominem tu quoque. The president should base his decisions on what is right, not on what Democrats did or did not do. Simple logic.

Yeah, we’ve all been seeing what the Democratic Party is doing and every time anybody steals and does anything they are let right back out. You had your chance you failed now let’s do it his way.

I had my chance? I’m a registered independent. A progressive conservative in the tradition of Teddy Roosevelt. Anyway, just bc one party does something wrong, doesn’t mean the other party should also do something stupid. Seek out crime experts and then implement the best plan.

He’s using the crime experts, the local police who have been battling this for years and years. National guard is back up. Until you experience this area and the crime, let the experts alone.

And—honestly—why do you think the president has only named blue cities for future military operations? If you look at the top cities for violent crime per capita, red cities outnumber the blue ones, yet he hasn’t mentioned them for NG deployment. Obviously he’s not doing this to reduce crime.
