Violent Crime Has Dropped Sharply in DC
DC is ranked 25th with more than a majority of cities in RED states with higher violent crime.
Interesting side note: of the 10 safest large cities on this list, three are in my state of California.

Shameful use of power by Trump for fabricated rationale.
If only this were an option in every city that flaunts the Constitution.

Remember when they painted Black Lives Matter on the street in big letters? Trump does.

Expanding presidential power is 90/10 with cretinous MAGA trolls.

False statement. This is not an expansion of presidential powers and you know it.

Uh, yes doc, taking over the DC police and sending in NG troops most certainly expands his power
And it is just the first city he’ll do this to. Second, actually, if you count the 100% pointless deployment to LA.
He already had the power, prof. The Home Rule Act.
Regardless, you are remarkably uninformed about this.

I promise I know more about this than you do
And, like everyone else who actually understands it, I know it is a massive and dangerous expansion of his power.
I believe the article below is not paywalled. But I don’t know. Or care.

Yet you fail to demonstrate it. I link the actual public law and you link an Atlantic OpEd.
He always had the power, and he used it.
You think this is only ok when a Dem does it and the Dem mayor of DC agrees no matter what. The Dem mayor will NEVER agree to Trump doing it EVER....but it is a legit problem, and Trump fixes lib problems.
“ You think this is only ok when a Dem does it”
No way to test that claim.
And no GOP president has done it, either.
He’s a tyrant.

DC forgot what it is.

The federal government controls DC, they act as if they are an autonomous collective
It's Monty Python level hilarity.
The DC cops are controlled by the mayor. And there is no National Guard on its streets. Yet.

I suppose you think that's the entire crux of the matter.
A lot of dumbasses agree with you.
Interesting, didn't get that from your original post
(no message)
It was in there, you just didn't connect the dots.
Why is everyone laughing at this joke, I don't get it...
Sending armed forced to American cities for no reason is absolutely hilarious
You are a great American.
And this will not be the only time he sends troops to cities. It is what dictators do.
And it won't be the last time you justify it.
"For nor reason". There's your problem.

I guess you didn't watch Biden's inauguration. DC looked like the DMZ.
BUT BUT BUT, THAT WAS TOTALLY DIFFERENT!!!
I spent a week in DC this July. Didn't even notice the crisis. Not sure how I survived.

After your earlier post I reassured my wife that she hadn't actually witnessed a daytime carjacking
in Georgetown. With a baby in the back seat.
All that distress and emotion over nothing. Sheesh.
Well now that we have 1500 FBI agents on the streets, none of that will happen
And, as always, you don't understand the difference between anecdote and data.
Also, I think you're full of shit.
Guy posts anecdote, than quibbles about another anecdote. Hilarious.
And fuck you. She did witness that, you piece of shit. Broad fucking daylight. Luckily the perps dumped the baby down the road on someone's doorstep.
Aww, did getting called out strike a little nerve?
So sorry.
And that smells to me like bullshit. But carry on.
Not surprising
We all know your limitations. Jackass

His anecdote is part of the data. That is irrefutable.
You called out no one..
You don’t understand that his anecdote is part of the data.
And the data on DC is not good.
NOLA has poor crime data
The red light solemn saving democracy with marines thing...

Time for another cow country civics lesson, I guess.
The National Guard's primary purpose is to serve both state and federal needs, acting as a state-level military force that can be called upon for domestic emergencies and also serve as a reserve force for the U.S. military during times of war or national emergencies. They respond to natural disasters, civil unrest, and other state emergencies, while also being available for federal deployment in overseas conflicts.
You’re right. Not the last time. New Orleans is next.

That's right. Cities are the enemy. Americans are the enemy.
Sure, crime is down. But send in the troops, provoke backlashes, crack down.
And fuckos like you will cheer as the republic dies.
You're projecting your cow country insecurities onto others, you need someone to blame I suppose.
I guarantee you there are no conversations in cafes, diners and taverns among cow country farmers around the DC crime wave. But they'd really have a good laugh at some professor blaming any of it on them.
The people in rat country need a lesson in civics.

Would you move your family to the highest crime neighborhood in New Orleans?
Then say everything was fine?
I live about three blocks from Hollygrove. So take your sanctimony and cram it.
(no message)
It was a legit question. Not sanctimonious at all. You have anger issues.
Your answer is “yes”.
Your choice is curious.
Your suggestion is just another temper tantrum.
Saw this today: if I buy you a GoPro and new sneakers, will you live stream your walk at 2am through
Hollygrove?
Does that make you a gentrifier or a colonizer?

Sanctuary city for illegals, BLM, defund crowd, antifa peaceful protesters. The whole ball of wax.
(no message)
A sanctuary from the enforcement of federal law.

This hits home for the libs because it is literally taking away one of their illegal strongholds.
Sanctuary Cities are illegal.
Like Trump, you say a lot without saying anything.
