Trump says he’s targeting Memphis in crime crackdown

Sending troops to help law enforcement is the definition of a police state.
Especially when crime is down in the locales in question and locals have not asked for help.

So, what you are saying is Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul created a police state when she deployed the National Guard to NYC to fight subway crime in March of last year? Got it.

She presumably did it because of increasing crime on the subways. Trump is waving his dick around at cities when crime is down.
 
Absurd. Dems bad. Love crime. Felon Trump good.
Why are they trying to give Billions of US Tax dollars to illegals and fight to keep illegals in America? Why did the DEM tell poice to NOT arrest criminals if they stole less that $1,000 ? Or sya Bail is Racist, and let more criminals go free ?

Trump's Felonies are FAKE and those cases are crumbling as the go high up in the US Court System!
Maybe he can set up a new Trump University in each city to teach residents manners.
That would be better than all the Crime that is going on in all the cities Trump is cleaning up!.....

I repeat what has been extensively reported, crime is down. Local officials didn’t request help. This is just more of Trump waving his dick around.
 
This won’t happen. He is not fixing the crime problems by temporarily sending troops. It is all for show and will not have any lasting impact on crime at all.
You can't say what's the results ! Do you live in any of the effected cities/States ?
Everyone so far is THANKING TRUMP for making their lives better by REDUCING CRIME !!!!!...
What is so hard about that to understand ????.....

Only the CRIMINALS are mad at Trump for stopping/reducing Crime ! That's why the DEM's are mad !...

Crime is down because Trump went in and protected the American people from the DEM Politicians that let Crime flourish in those cities !

Your fixation with Trump is disturbing!

Yes, it was a police state action. But at least it was within her own state and not dictated by the federal government. It also was a temporary measure that didn’t solve any problems long term. It was all for show due to bad publicity from some high profile crimes. These actions are not solutions to crime and this one solved nothing but was a PR stunt, just like Trump’s actions.

There are no results from it that will be lasting. It is all for show. Crime has not been reduced at all due to these actions.

Thank you for answering more or less directly, however you are still losing the argument. It was still the National Guard, federal troops. And Trump's deployment is temporary as well. And Trump is certainly not the first president to deploy the National Guard to America's cities.

 
Why does our Pedophile in Chief suddenly seem concerned about crime?

It's like a prostitute campaigning against people with STDs.

So, you admit that Hochul deployed the NG to assist local police in fighting crime. Basically, the same thing Trump is doing. However, what is the obsession with Trump's dick? I thought he was waving the National Guard around. As for the crime being down, that depends on who's stats you are going by. Before Trump deployed the NG in DC, the police chief claimed that crime was down, however it turned out that the actual stats had been altered. And now DC is a safe place.

He is the first to try to keep using them for normal crime reduction, not any unusual crime spikes. They usually go in for real emergencies like violent rioting or natural disasters. It is a waste of this resource to think it will have any long lasting impact on crime rates in any cities where there is no real emergency.

Baloney. Trump sent troops, inexperienced in law enforcement to places where crime was down, even as his budget priorities have cut funds for local law enforcement.

You are not making any sense. Hochel also sent troops. Past president's democrats and republicans have sent troops. have sent troops. As for crime allegedly being down, it's still at an unacceptable high level. Your logic seems to be something along the lines of "If there are 12 murders a month and it's knocked down to 10 murders a month, then everything is okay". And Trump is not responsible for funding local law enforcement.

Troops were most often sent to respond to riots when police were in danger of being overwhelmed, or I believe in situations the Little Rock case when local authorities refused to adhere to civil rights court’s decisions. Again, why not restore funds to law enforcement? What expertise to National Guard troops have in investigating and fighting crime? Good news is that they are picking up trash from roadways.

You are trying to split hairs simply because you hate Trump. And it's amusing to hear someone of the left of the "Defund the Police" era suddenly crying about funds to law enforcement. And which part of "It's not up to Trump to fund local law enforcement did you not understand?
What expertise to National Guard troops have in investigating and fighting crime?
Ever heard of Military Police? They investigate crime all the time. I knew a few of them when I served. Point is they are there to assist local law enforcement. Not take over.
Good news is that they are picking up trash from roadways.
Sounds like utter disrespect for the National Guard on your part.

That was a useless and performative act.

Undocumented contribute to the economy

He is still a convicted felon

How much crime has trump cleaned up? How much was spent?
 
I don't know how it worked for Governor Cruella Da Ville in New York, however it's working out quite well in Washington DC.

No, it isn’t working out quite well in Washington DC. There is no evidence to support any permanent reduction to the crime rate in DC. Keeping troops and federal agents in DC indefinitely is not going to happen. Especially if Trump wants to repeat this action in other cities. There isn’t the manpower or resources to do this and it would violate state’s rights.it would lead to the US becoming a police state.
 
No need to read any further when you start out with dishonesty.

Keep in mind that Trump started out with dishonesty by sending in unrequested, inexperienced in crime fighting troops at a time when crime is down.

What will happen when the troops are withdrawn? Or do they stay permanently to pick up trash?
