Just another day in Sanctuary City New York and some migrants patiently waiting on the subway platform for the next subway train so they can go looking for money making opportunities!
I'm just saying this is not new and has been going on for a while. I was at JFK over the summer and there were national guard there too. Just to bee clear, I think this is a terrible idea. Put people armed with heavy weaponry to do a job they're not trained for and who knows what may happen. I guess if you told me an MP unit was the one assigned then it might be OK. This is how you get a Kent State type incident. In general, it's a terrible idea.
'patrolling'
None of that is true.
I been all over the world. I have never felt safer when I see armed soldiers walking around interacting with the community.Now here we are in 2024 with transit crime rates through the roof and felons free to slash conductors, beat platform buskers and kick straphangers to railbeds — leaving riders everywhere in fearful anticipation of an inevitable next outrage.
But you can be sure of one thing: Nothing broadcasts panic more loudly than uniformed soldiers publicly performing duties reserved by custom and common sense to civilian police agencies.
Or maybe not panic; maybe impotence is the word.
Having lost the will to protect life, limb and personal property by traditional means — that is, by enforcing the penal and criminal-procedure codes — New York now takes tentative steps toward overtly militarized policing.
This is not the same thing as local police departments adopting military-style gear and tactics; that’s a regrettable, but not unreasonable, response to real-world dangers.
This is uniformed military personnel engaged in law enforcement.
Now, Hochul may not understand the issue because she doesn’t seem to understand much, but Americans have seen military involvement in domestic policing as a threat to civil liberties at least since the post-Civil War Reconstruction period — and they take great care to avoid it.
To be sure, there’s a difference between the Regular Army and the National Guard, and troops often are deployed for natural disasters and in response to events like 9/11.
Hochul putting the National Guard in NYC subways is a political stunt
Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the deployment of National Guard troops to address subway crime, a problem Mayor Rudy Giuliani and his anti-crime brain trust solved a generation ago.nypost.com
This seems off topic. Are immigrants causing all the crime in subways?
So you are not in favor of more a police presence in the subway. How would you make it safer by tomorrow?
Go hang out in NYC for 10 minutes and tell me how "woke" it is. Christ, you're such a simpleton.
Too many dark skins, amirite? Or is the gays openly walking around in the daylight?
Nordic gangs is being used as sarcasm here, bucko. We all know who is causing the problems in NY Subways.
You are needing a link to show the statistics of crime co..it'd by demographic breakdown? What do I get if I get it for you?

Did anyone fact check Mayor Bloomberg?
I knew it! That kid from the Chinese family around the corner seems respectable and quiet, but I F***ING KNEW IT!
