Bag checks for weapons. Boarding the subway like boarding an airplane.
Bag checks for weapons. Wasn't that found unconstitutional when Giuliani had the NYPD doing it?
And it doesn't address the trend of people being shoved off the platform. That wasn't even a thing before the great unleashing 2020.
Might be tin foil, but you have to wonder if they're trying to "normalize" the presence of the military acting as law enforcement, in addition to routine search violations. Is it a ramp up for something? Think about how they're flying in unvetted illegals, destabilizing the country, driving calls for "someone to do something".
So what happened to the cops in these cities? Who is paying the national guard? Is this a way for liberal run cities to shore up their budgets and lack of funding for their own police force?
This is really not a mission for the National Guard. If they need more security they should hire more security.
Everything hinges on what the guard can do. If he can shoot someone or put his knee on their neck, they’ll be effective. If all they can do is wag a finger and get hurt, well, they’ll be less effective. The Left has this teacher taking-control-of-first-grader’s view of how things will work. These aren’t small children and there is no extra authority given for wearing a uniform. In the case where no excessive force can be used, a uniform just makes you a more attractive target.
While I can understand people wanting security this is police state level stuff we are slipping into. This is how it is in third world countries with armed soldiers hanging about. Just hire enough police to handle things. Sometimes I think the left wants the military involved because they can be controlled at the Federal level instead of locally.
Defund police and save money by have the federal government pay for security, genius.
Be prepared to defend your life, your liberty. Anti-life, anti-freedom individuals/gangs/mobs/collectives are prepared to take it. Be aware. Look, listen.
But NO GUNS!
No, no, no - that would scare some pansies - I mean, liberals.
And so it begins.
What a surprise. The Democrats have weaken the police forces in big blue cites and their Soros backed DAs refuse to prosecute criminals so now it is time to start calling the military in to keep law and order in subways. With over 8 million illegal aliens ... not “newcomers” or “undocumented migrants” how long before they decide they are not getting enough free stuff and decide to just start taking it? I’ll bet the the Birdbrain administration will ask the UN to take over restoring law and order. Of course we will have to be a part of the “one world government” then.
Public transport in the US is a disgrace. I travel to Switzerland a lot on business and the trains and even busses there are a perfectly viable way to travel. Clean, on time, people sit quietly, no weirdos. I wonder when the last time there was a shooting or stabbing on Swiss public transport.
Would not take the subway, bus, or rail in any US city at this point.
They could fix this by not voting Democrat
It’ll never happ3en in Chicago. The mayor calls a mob of thugs “a gathering of teenagers” and doesn’t call crooks, crooks but constituents. And the second city will keep electing democrats, figuring if electing democrats didn’t help before, hey, lets try the exact same thing again.
At one time, the Union would have taken care of the problem on their own.
