I still think it would be cheaper and more effective to go temporary big brother on high crime areas like Chicago.
Put cameras on every street corner and drones in the sky. When a violent crime is committed, track the perp down and prosecute them. That would get all the violent criminals off the streets in short order.
Once the crime rate falls remove the cameras and let life return to new normal.
Yuck, I used new normal. I both hate that and am proud of working it in.
Did you learn NOTHING from Homeland Security? “Temporary” is not a word Government understands.
Any unjust power given will be kept and used in way not originally approved of.
