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…
Everyone wants Law and order
Except the hebephile-in-chief! ;)
Yes, it’s stupid to think that the teen girls who said he would walk into their changing rooms while they were naked, and the teen girl who said he raped her, might actually be telling the truth. And don’t forget the women who said he also raped them. Stupid to think there’s a chance they’re right!
I can’t understand why people are against safety and no theft. I love it.
Strawman. If he cared about crime he would not cut off funding that helps local and state justice initiatives. He wants complete power.
They altered the crime stats for Bidens entire term . Anyone who cares does the research
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.
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’m all for it
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
Many on tv saying they have never felt so safe
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.
Which red cities are at top of the list?
To be more clear, I should have said red state cities. I wasn’t precise.
Well TN is red but cities are blue so there’s that.
Thanks for understanding my earlier imprecision. Yes, I meant cities like Memphis. Anyway, if I’m wrong and you’re right that this is not a pretext for a military state, I will be so glad to admit my error! So glad! Many of us are terrified and anxious that we’re heading toward a dictatorship.
No worries, we will not head that way. Law enforcement need backup for this undertaking so that’s all it is. One of my best friends is a retired commander from the Navy, and another is Marine. They’re 100% behind it.
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…
*crickets*
Happy my streets are safe now
