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.

I’m all for it, Nashville is on the list for extra ICE and I’d love Memphis to get a shakedown. Buy then they’re blue in a red state. Which red cities need it?

Interesting. You’re happy that DT has slashed around 500 million in funds for policing and crime prevention, because he’s putting more money into a military occupation that you hope will extend to both red and blue states. If you ever read history, you’ll learn where this leads…

Strawman. If he cared about crime he would not cut off funding that helps local and state justice initiatives. He wants complete power.

So you believe his lie that crime has become so horrible that the military is needed? The military is not trained in law enforcement. If he cared about crime he would take the millions of dollars going to a military occupation and use it to train more local and state police.

Have you heard of MPs? And yes, after living in the area and working in Baltimore, YES crime up there is that bad.

funghost.bsky.social @funghost.bsky.social

You’re right that Baltimore is bad. I live in a red state city with a very high violent crime rate, so we’ll see if he sends troops to places like this as well before the next election. If he does then I will be surprised and admit I was wrong on this.

I disagree. Why because we all know that the democrats have been lying on their stats for years. Reducing the crimes on the books. All we need to do is look at tv to see where all the crime is. When will everyone see that the Dems lie on statistics

Do you think the president will deploy troops in all of the red cities with high rates of crime? So far he has only mentioned the blue cities, even though there are more red cities in the top 10 for high crime rates.

Plenty of cities in red states with higher violent crime rates than Chicago: Salt Lake City, Birmingham, Little Rock, Indianapolis, Tulsa, Dallas, Kansas City, Shreveport, Akron, etc. But so far he seems focused on cities in blue states. Apologies if I wasn’t as precise in my meaning before…
