Chef Andres is in and out of Gaza enough he should watch his back and beware a double-tap.

I'd like to see some polling on this claim. When you live in a high crime area, I suspect that most people will not mind a little inconvenience to be able to safely walk around their neighborhood.

Military deployed on the streets being the little inconvenience?
 
ZenMode said:
Yes. Seeing military, like law enforcement in general, can be reassuring.

Other countries have cheered the arrival of the US military.

NOBODY feels reassured when armed military patrols their streets without oversight.

Do you think all those demonstrations in DC and LA were multitudes of people thanking the military for “reassuring” them?

GTFO with that nonsense.
 
I think it’s safe to say that the presence of a militaristic police state will typically reduce crime; at least temporarily until people start figuring out how to work around if it is present for the long term. But living in a militaristic police state is not a palatable substitute for crime. In other words, I don’t think most people want either crime or military personnel patrolling their community.

The minor inconvenience of living in a militarized police state. I actually don’t want to see polling, a big chunk of the American right are clearly in support.

If we miraculously get a Democratic President in 2028, and a particularly vengeful one at that, I wonder how many right-wing fucksticks would be applauding him/her for sending armed troops into places like Hattiesburg, Mississippi and Memphis, Tennessee under the guise of “cleaning up crime?”

My guess is that suddenly states rights would become paramount again.

Hypocritical pieces of shit, all of them.

Oh hell yeah. Had Obama or Biden tried this shit, Pubs would be riling up militias to take up arms to fight against this tyranny.

“… privately, Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson began discussing what they could do to shield Chicago from a federal deployment like those underway in two other Democrat-run cities with Black mayors, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C.

Their conclusion: not much….”

There will always be someone against anything. There's no reason to believe those protesters reflect the opinion of the entire district.

“… Chicago has long had a reputation as a city with an elevated crime rate, particularly around gun violence. There have been 1,229 shootings so far this year, including a high-profile drive-by shooting in July targeting a rap artist.
However, the city has made marked progress since the end of the pandemic, according to Chicago crime data. Fatal shootings fell 36% from January 1 through August 25 compared to the same period a year ago. Its July homicide rate, opens new tab of 1.66 per 100,000 residents ranks it below Washington, New Orleans, Kansas City and Little Rock, Arkansas, among other cities.

The falling crime trend mirrors other U.S. cities, reflecting the impact of hundreds of millions of federal dollars allocated in recent years for teachers, police and social workers – the people likely to influence at-risk youth most vulnerable to gun violence, said John Roman, a senior fellow at the research organization NORC at the University of Chicago.

Some of those funds, including $158 million in grants for violence prevention programs across the U.S., were cut in April as part of the Trump administration's reshaping of government….”
