Trump to take over D.C. Law Enforcement

There are two aspects of what Trump appears to be doing.

#1 is fighting crime, which I guarantee you every single person here supports, as long as it's done nonviolently and with respect for everyone's constitutional rights. Not sure there's any reason for it since violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low, but whatever. If people are committing crimes, they should be arrested for it.

#2 is "fighting" the homeless, which apparently means removing them to some encampment far from DC. This is RIFE with potential problems, legally, ethically, practically, economically, etc. And, while I know you're tired of hearing this, it's straight out of the Nazi playbook.

I'm not concerned about #1 as long as the constitution is respected. I'm DEEPLY concerned about #2.

3. Using the military or national guard for law enforcement purposes is completely wrong
4. If there are FBI agents pulled off their actual jobs to do this, that seems really bad. However, it's unclear if there are any FBI agents actually fighting crime any more.

On #3, agree, and also illegal. I guess I said "constitutional," but I was using that as shorthand for "in a manner consistent with all applicable laws, especially federal laws, and ESPECIALLY the fundamental rights guaranteed by the constitution."
 
I'd hate to be in a traffic stop conducted by an FBI counter-intelligence officer. That's six hours standing by the road that I'll never get back...

Here we go...the takeover of American cities by the federal government. Just keep burying your heads in the sand because he hasn't yet taken over YOUR particular city, fellow Americans.

And most continue to sleep. Not even having a bad dream. What has happened to all those protests that were suppose to be the beginning of a standup to the regime? Maybe there has been a distraction...the name Epstein keeps coming to mind.
 
Sounds like this big announcement will likely be that Trump is deploying ~800 National Guard troops in DC. When Trump deployed about twice that many NG troops in Los Angeles, they did literally nothing, and it cost us about $150 million. Since violent crime in DC is already at a 30-year low, it seems highly likely the troops deployed here will be similarly effective.

So I guess the question to Ram or whoever is willing to answer it is this --

Are you ok with Trump spending ~$75 million in taxpayer dollars so that National Guard troops can sit around DC doing nothing?

Doesn't seem like conservatism to me, but maybe you can help us understand.
 
We're going to get rid of the slums where they live. TRUMP (interesting wording)

Democrats are weak on crime: TRUMP (The criminal should know)

I wonder if he's going to get asked any Epstein questions?
 


“… they fought back against law enforcement last night and uh they’re not going to be fighting back long because I’ve instructed them and uh told them whatever happens, you know, they love to spit in the face of police as the police are standing up there in uniform they’re standing and they’re screaming at’em announce away from their face and then they start spitting in their face and I said you they’ll them you spit, we hit and they can hit real hard. It’s a disgusting thing I’ve watched that for years for 3 or 4 years now … and they’re told [weird voice] ‘don’t do anything under any cir [mumble and change to growling voice] and you can see they wanna get at it.

[Back to speech voice and speaking flanked by SECDeF and AG] And they’re standing there and the people are spitting in their face and they’re not allowed to do anything but now they are allowed to do whatever they want hell they want .

[returns to reading] This dire public safety crisis stems directly from the abject failures of the city’s local leadership, the radical left city council adopted NO CASH BAIL…”
