Yes! Please send more troops to other Democrat run cities to fix their crime problems!yes, cities like Portland and Minneapolis but that is not the case with these cities who have a shortage of police officers and a problem with recruitment. These are predominately black urban cities, and quite different from the more white liberal ones who think they do not need much police. I am not sure if more funding will help. But you can't deploy the national guard forever. So Trump should step up and offer long term funding for officers. This has been done in the past. with Clinton. I wonder who killed the grants?
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Just a dozen days after money became
available, President Clinton today announced the first round of
police hiring grants under the new crime bill, an important step
toward his goal of putting 100,000 police on America's streets.
More than $200 million in grants were awarded to communities in
all 50 states and Puerto Rico, including 332 police departments,
46 sheriffs' departments, six Indian tribal groups, and several
other law enforcement agencies. The crime bill authorizes money
to increase the number of police in America by twenty percent.
At a White House ceremony today, President Clinton and
Attorney General Janet Reno welcomed mayors and chiefs of police
from many of the jurisdictions receiving grants."
From google AI in asking does _____ want more police?
"Yes, the Memphis Police Department (MPD) is actively seeking more police officers to fill hundreds of open positions and reach their staffing goal of 2,200 to 2,300 officers, as they currently have 1,942 officers on staff as of late 2024."
Yes, the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department (SLMPD) has sought more officers due to a documented shortage, with the police union and an internal memo indicating a deficit, even as the mayor has claimed a sufficient number per capita. While the police department is actively working on recruitment, challenges like officer departures and better pay in surrounding departments have contributed to the shortage.
Baltimore Police Launch New Recruitment Campaign to Attract Sworn & Professional Members
The Baltimore Police Department (BPD) has launched a new recruitment campaign aimed at attracting both sworn officers and professional members to join its ranks.www.baltimorepolice.org
Yes, the New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) is actively seeking more police officers to address a significant shortage, having lost many officers recently and facing ongoing recruitment challenges despite efforts like pay raises and remote testing. The department needs to increase staffing to adequately respond to public safety concerns and reduce the workload on existing officers, who are struggling with low morale and feelings of being unsupported.
Why NOPD is seeking more police:
- Historical Low Staffing:
The NOPD is at an all-time low in officer numbers, with many officers leaving the department.
- High Crime Rates:
The city has experienced a surge in violent crimes like shootings and carjackings, leading residents to feel unsafe and demand more action from the city.
- Officer Morale:
Current officers are experiencing low morale due to negative public perception, a lack of support from the city, and concerns about policies that they feel hinder their work.

Troops are OK, but more police funding would be better. Let's send them to the red states too. Memphis, New Orleans, St Louis, Kansas City all have more violent crime than Chicago. But I think Trump is doing this out of spite rather than address the problem of crime in USA cities in a fair way. I think too that cities should be allowed to decline Federal troops or aid. Some Red states declined expanded medicare. I imagine more died from that than will ever die from declining troops. To me conservatism is more constant. You allow states rights when possible.

I will help Trump with his math. New Orleans population is 363,000 / 4 deaths = 1 death per 91,000 people
54 shot over weekend in Chicago as governor rejects Trump's threat to send in National Guard
At least seven people have been killed and 47 others injured in shootings across Chicago over Labor Day weekend, according to police.abcnews.go.com
Meanwhile, 35 people are shot dead in Chicago, and Denocrats dont care because they hate Trump and dont want him to send the national guard to fix the problem. Democrat mayor proves yet again than they hate Trump more than they care about the citizens they represent.
Chicago population is 2,721, 000 / 7 deaths = 1 death per 385,000 people
Wichita population is 400,000 / 4 deaths = 1 death per 100,000 people
Murder rate this week was 4X higher in New Orleans. and Wichita. I am sure I could find more but does evidence even matter?
Do MAGA folks or Trump care about red states too? Or is it the political win that is the most important thing? What about policies that violate state's rights? This is a centerpiece of conservatism to me. The consent of the governed is an entrenched idea from John Locke. Better to send the troops where they are needed most, if Kansas and Louisiana consent.
Look at Sen. Rand Paul's position on troops doing police or immigration work. Around 3:30 in the video.
I am glad that Trump is cleaning up the DC area, if he desires to make the changes long lasting. DC is not a state and is more of a Federal responsibility. The biggest problem I found with cities with the highest crime is that they can't find enough officers to hire. We should pray that Trump can help with that problem.

With what are you agreeing? The gist of his post is that crime is more prevalent in major red cities, so the next sentence is puzzling:
Don't you care about the crime victims in RED cities?

By not wanting to refine gun laws, you’re not super concerned about lowering gun violence, which means it must not be that big a problem, which means the federal government doesn’t need to invade Chicago.
Problem solved.

They don’t care about gun control, no, but it certainly makes the criminals easier to identify and arrest.

Girl, you just told on yourself.
By wanting them sent to blue cities, you reveal that:
1. You don’t want this action taken in areas with citizens you agree with
2. The overall deployment of government against its own people on its own land is undesirable and thus you don’t want it for you
3. There is an intimidation factor in deployment and you want it used on the people you don’t agree with
4. If suppression is a byproduct of what’s occurring, you’re fine with it occurring against the people you don’t agree with but don’t want it in cities with people who support your agenda
I’m not shocked that the person who doesn’t think women should be allowed to vote thinks all this, mind you. I’m just amused that you really have zero ethical or moral issue with admitting the vision you want in America is not that of a democracy and that you’re willing to deploy Herod-like tactics to ensure it.

WRONG! Try again. Are they red cities, or are they blue cities located in red states?

Ok. If I have cocaine, it’s pretty obvious I’m breaking the law. If somebody has a gun that is illegal to own or with modifications that are illegal to have or are absent the control they need to have or in an area they’re clearly not allowed, when they are spotted, it’s obvious they’re breaking the law.

I have a splendid idea. Why not have areas that legally prohibit gun possession all together? We can call these areas "gun free zones." We can implement these "gun free zones" in any and all areas that we deem that guns have no purpose. Like public and private schools. Surly the very same criminals who disregard every gun law will obey this one and never take advantage of the fact that all the law abiding citizens will be completely unarmed in these "gun free zones."
I anyone things anything said was stupid, it is because it is stupid.

And the more gun types and features on them that are made illegal, the more "criminals" we make out of what were once law-abiding citizens. If you want to eliminate illegal guns and criminals who have them, we should legalize all types of guns. That would also take a heavy burden off the back of law enforcement, and would result in having to maintain so many people in jails/prisons.
