Crime prevention policies that create things that can cause a reduction in crime.
That was a Kamala level of useless word salad.

Crime prevention policies that create things that can cause a reduction in crime.
The issue is the DNC using this to federalize the police force and doing away with local law enforcement.
That is their wet dream.
I'll take that bet!Let trump threaten to send troops to lily white towns that actually have a higher crime rate than Chicago, and these racists will change their tune.
I noticedRabid statists gonna rabidly state.
I think that the majority of usership here, both red and blue helmet blips are largely trustees in centralized government. I've based that view solely on observation of dialogue over time.
It showsYeah, we love tRump!![]()
So what's your solution to crime?
typical wingnut
United States has a "red state murder problem". This is based on findings which suggest that states voting for Trump in the 2020 election had higher combined homicide rates than those that voted for Joe Biden.

When the Left has to enact yet another Strawman argument because they can't win any real ones.
There is no martial law.
You have abdicated the safety of your own citizens in your own urban centers on purpose (a criminal act), and you are now being dealt with via the strength of article 2 of the Constitution.
Don't like it?
You just proved you're not only a statist, but yet another woefully binary thinker. I'm against the left, and anyone who cheerleads for a police state, left OR right. I already explained my position on what is happening, the other day on another thread:
Apparently I'm in the minority here, but I think what's happening is people are being tricked into trading liberty for "security." Yet again. DC appears to be just the beginning.
In case anyone isn't sure what I'm talking about...the permanent establishment (regardless of which party is in power) allows certain problems or 'crises' to happen (or they'll create a crisis) to be later used as a pretext for more control.
Problem - Reaction - Solution.
As this article puts it:
Whether the trigger is terrorism, civil unrest, economic instability, or public health, the aim...
Yet this is not happening.Except perhaps surveillance, which has been around for quite a while now.
A police state is a country where a government maintains strict, repressive control over the population by a national police force, often secret police, which suppresses dissent and limits freedoms such as speech, assembly, and privacy. Key characteristics include centralized authority, extensive surveillance, propaganda, and a pervasive police or military presence that treats citizens as potential lawbreakers with little recourse against the state.
Key Characteristics
- Repressive Social Control:The government uses its police and security forces to control and monitor citizens' activities, economic, and political life.
- Suppression of Dissent:Any act or expression that conflicts with government policy is suppressed, often through censorship and surveillance.
- Extensive Surveillance:Citizens' private communications, emails, phone calls, and public activities are monitored.
- Limited Freedoms:Citizens face strict limits on their freedom of movement, speech, assembly, and association.
- Authoritarian or Totalitarian Rule:The system is often a form of dictatorial or totalitarian government, where authority is concentrated in the hands of an individual, party, or military.
- Militarization of Police
olice forces may be heavily armed and militarized, mirroring the military in their tactics and equipment.
- Ubiquitous Police Presence
olice are a constant and visible presence, with the authority to stop citizens for minor or arbitrary reasons.
It really hasn't been going in this specific trajectory for many years. This began in 2025. People believing we have been going in this direction for so long is why Trump is here. Other than that, I agree with your opposition to a police state, regardless of whether the left or the right is the one doing it.If you can't see the direction things are going in overall (and to be clear, this didn't start under Trump, it has been the trajectory for many years now) then I don't know what to tell you. I think a lot of you folks are blinded by partisan politics. And you don't seem to understand that these things happen slowly and gradually. Which is precisely why our founders warned us about being vigilant.
And now I can see why Ben Franklin said "A republic, if you can keep it."![]()
You just proved you're not only a statist
Sure I canWhat's the matter, you can't answer the question?![]()
Good clean up that ******* Vietnam hell hole. The last time I visited Chicago they were throwing kids off the high-rise project balconies, so they had to put fencing up over the balconies. #HailCandymanBring it on I say.
Whoever thought anyone could induce a bigger catastrophe upon a metropolis than the previous Chicago Mayor? (ET phone home?...I kid...)
That is, until Brandon Johnson said "Hold my beer".
And now he's about to have the distinct privilege of being the second in line for a Trump FAFO session.
It's called Federalism, Dems.
Citizens have the inherent right to safety, and when you aren't securing that - in fact are willfully detracting from it - you will be dealt with accordingly.
It's coming, believe me.Except that would be complete bullshit since this is a state of emergency declaration, and with good reason.
If MAGA lived its political life worrying about what treachery the Left would engage in using our own constitutional actions as an excuse - we'd never do anything.
That kind of civic inertia is OVER in the age of MAGA.
