If you’re referring to the events from 1957 in Little Rock, that was a completely different situation.
Governor Orval Faubus defied a US Supreme Court ruling and Eisenhower was correct to respond by sending in the 101st Airborne.

Interestingly, Eisenhower was a Republican and Faubus was a Democrat. A lot can change over 70 years.

I’m not saying whether Trump is correct or not.

But that situation and this? Apples and bowling balls.

It is ti his post. He made no exception to situation.

They were sent on to enforce the laws.

Trump has the right to send them in to provide protection for federal agents and facilities.

He had a right to send them in in DC. As far as other cities to be used in police help I dont know for sure but i dont think he should unless they ask fo it.

What will it solve? Nothing.

DC gets good numbers for a few weeks, then the troops leave and things go back to normal. There's no long term vision. It's all smoke and mirrors.
 
Police Chief from Canadia has these words to instruct victims citizens on his plan.



His "Nine One One" response - that process only Starts after you call. Can ya talk with your home invader right there In your kitchen? After listening to you panicking, the operator then makes decision to respond or not. Then relevant Station is called. After a Police Car is dispatched, hope it doesn't interrupt lunch or break, now getting to...GPS, if the addy is right, cool, we can Start Response Time, measured in Kilometers Per Mile. Traffic? Stop lights or signs ? That is Zero Kilometers traveled in an hour. (Well, maybe the criminal that illegally endangered your family is patient enough to wait.) Back to adding Every Step needed to Even Begin Being Rescued.

Travel Time needs to be added to above call times, the Cop/car/GPS info, much slower Response Time than just being ready as a man to protect his family in his own home.


Placing a loaded Glock 19 in the hand of a Citizen makes Response Time...As It Happens.

The concept that you have no right of self protection in your own home is both a dangerous precedent and insanely idiotic.
The home invader has put himself in that position and everyone in danger in the process.
Just let them take your children while you’re at it you bunch of fucking cowards.
The fact they make sanctuary cities for home invasion is disgusting and irresponsible. It should lead to criminal prosecution of the elected officials making such senseless recommendations to the public.

I agree with this if they dont have some long term plan.

He's a fucking idiot. It's box cutter time if a douchebag invades my home. I will never take any chance with my wife's safety. I'll live with the consequences.

Last year, a moron just like him (maybe Toronto cop) wanted people to leave their car keys near their front door so they wouldn't have problems with car thieves.

When seconds count... help is minutes away... several minutes

But in Chicago even a month of Troops could mean 200 saved gunshot victims...and a plan could be derived from it eventually. 17 people voted do nothing, or let the violence continue....thats fucked up. If this weren't Trump the numbers would look a lot more favorable.

You save 200 victims in a month, but you change nothing. I'd rather see the President make a change that will save 25 people a month for the next 50 years.

Its as you said it smoke and mirrors more than likely to distract from the Epstein files

A pattern that works effectively for trump is to yell, "wait, look over there a black/mexican/immigrant/dei / "insert boogie man here/ "


Like when he blamed the DEI for the crash in Potomac. You would think people wouldnt be that dumb, but looking on this forum...


not only that, its pointless.

What is the national guard going to do? Arrest and rehabilitate criminals? Maybe uplift impoverished areas with education and health care while they're at it?

Agreed, but until then at least stop the bleeding. Unfortunately, this is not a snap the fingers fix. And also, not a fix that the left will like. Soft on crime doesn't fix things with these areas. I watched Rudy Guiliani fix Manhattan and NYC in a few years. He first attacked quality of life crimes, which led to bigger stops. I saw an amazing transformation. Truly amazing. 42nd street was a war zone when I was a kid. It's Disney now. Why anyone would fight being strong on crime when the residents are pleading for help is hard to believe.
