'Let's Do It Like Eisenhower': Chicago Pastor Calls on Trump to Send Troops [tr]
Fox News ^ | August 10, 2018 | Outnumbered Overtime

The Rev. Gregory Livingston, of New Hope Baptist Church, said Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) has "blood on his hands," and is allegedly "sitting on" millions of dollars in Department of Housing and Urban Development funds that could be helping the affected neighborhoods.

"Rahm's words do nothing for that family," Livingston said of a mother of a 17-year-old shot and killed over the weekend amid the violence.

Thanks.

It sounds like it is just what it seems. The president making up law as he wants.

and
b) He did not sent the National Guard.

Eisenhower also violated the law. He sent in the military then nationalized the national guard.

“...Trump, send the National Guard down here. “

Why should he? Your mayor...who you voted for...declared it a Trump free zone. Trump tried to hold a rally in your shithole and Emanuel had the police stand down while antifa ruined it and made him cancel. I wouldn’t give Chicago the steam off a San Francisco sidewalk turd.

Trump doesn’t need to. Rahm can call the Governor, and the Governor activates them. No federal role here.

A proper use of the national guard was in the early 50s in Phenix City, AL.

The local authorities were so corrupt that it was necessary to declare martial law.

The only way a federalized Illinois National Guard or 101st Airborne Division could be used to maintain order in Chicago would be the declaration of martial law that you mentioned. Rahm Emmanuel would have to be replaced by a military general, preferably a black one, else the commanding general ruling Chicago would be referred to in the press as the gauleiter.

when the democrat future president became mayor of chicago, he should have hired a 1,000 more cops. Then as murders decreases, he could have reduced the number of cops through retirements and no one would be laid off.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

Or, do it like Lincoln: declare Chicago in “rebellion” and send in federal troops to burn down cities.

Then suspend habeas corpus; shut down opposition newspapers; and arrest quarrelsome legislators.

Here are some darts and a 2016 presidential electoral map.

Now let’s play “find an urban war zone”.

Naturally, don’t bother aiming at anything other than blue, especially that one right in the middle that stands out so clearly in a sea of red.

Remember when the governor of Missouri called in the state national guard? To help solve the Ferguson riots? We all know what a failure that was.

It would be the same in Chicago.

Trump should let them wallow in their Progressive Utopia. The front lines should consist of the Cook County Sheriff, Illinois State Troopers, as a last resort, the Illinois National Guard. The Chicago Police Dept. should be considered part of the problem and disbanded.

The National Guard would not be allowed to shoot so they would be sitting ducks to some very bad people.

Hell no.
