Getting downvoted. I’m not thrilled by the idea of deploying the national guard, but folks have had a long time to fix the mess in SF and have failed, badly. It’s not crazy to try something new.
To those saying we never use the military for public security that’s simply false. NYC has had heavily armed national guard deployed as added security at transit hubs since 9/11 and they’re there to this day.
If leaders of cities don’t want others to step in, don’t give people a reason to step in.
- raddan 1y agoSince we’re on a roll, we might as well deploy the military everywhere else we’ve tried things that don’t work. Clearly we can’t stop school shootings. Let’s put the military in schools. We can’t stop people without insurance from using the ER instead of regular doctor’s visits. Military! Prices are too high at the grocery store. Armed guards now! The military cannot solve any of the domestic problems they’re being deployed to solve.
