Three observations:

1. If you start putting sixty National Guardsmen loose each day in the city...what does it say to tourists and international guests? It’d almost appear like Burma or Paraguay.

2. Without the Guardsmen, if you just added two or three prosecutors/judges and said...max prosecution to start up, and no ‘deals’...whole landscape would change in three months.

3. Return the Anacosta area (SE DC) to Maryland, and let them deal with it. There’s zero reason to retain it, and probably half of all bad crime numbers revolve around this area.

The army and/or national guard are not a police force. Eff these pigs. Put them on the border or get rid of them. We don’t need an army or NG if they aren’t stopping an invasion on our border.

As I said in the earlier post. Liberals and Leftists will never admit they've been wrong about ANYTHING , and nor will their bought-and-paid-for media. These are those kids back in the day on the playground who would grab their ball and go home if anyone disagreed with them. Those kids grow up, and that attitude never leaves them. THAT juvenile, ridiculous mindset is what is running, and ruining, this country right now. If anyone disagrees with them, why they just go and find a like-minded judge that grabbed his or her ball and went home, too. Our greatest American menace right now isn't any outside force, it's spoiled liberal American kids, raised by spoiled '60s and '70s liberal "activist" American parents, all grown up and who want everything to be as they want it to be ... OR ELSE.

I was wondering that myself.

Crank up the pain level so people cry out for All-Father Government to save us from ourselves!

we need help because of our failed policies and we would like to introduce the military in our streets secretly without any uproar under the false flag of fighting crime they caused

Obviously they need to defund even more of the police force.

Just empower your police to kick ass and not take names.

Read between the lines.

The whole point is to bring about a National Police Force, this will be touted as the “solution” to the crime problems.

“Sounds like they need rescuing from their own selves”

to paraphrase Pogo; “they have met the enemy and it’s not an outsider. Short of neighbors dropping dimes on one another, “block captains” or local vigilance committees, current situation is as good as it will get. Justice may soon go extra-judicial in more than one locale.

“Just empower your police to kick ass and not take names.”

the phrase “kick ass and take names” has been watered down. I first learned the phrase as “kick ass and take names OFF THE ROLLS”. In other words, solve the problem.

You say, “If you start putting sixty National Guardsmen loose each day in the city...what does it say to tourists and international guests? It’d almost appear like Burma or Paraguay.” Burma yes, Paraguay no. Paraguay is a democracy and Asuncion and other cities are clean and well run. Criminals go to jail. On the other hand, Blacks are not welcome in most of the country.

Hey, jails there are full with people waved into the Capitol by DC police and federal assets. One guy had his feet up on Pelosi’s desk and got years in prison for it.
