Trump's Washington police takeover echoes history of racist narratives about urban crime

[C_Clayton_Jones]

‘Trump has taken control of D.C.'s law enforcement and ordered National Guard troops to deploy onto the streets of the nation’s capital, arguing the extraordinary moves are necessary to curb an urgent public safety crisis.

Even as district officials questioned the claims underlying his emergency declaration, the Republican president promised a “historic action to rescue our nation’s capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor and worse.” His rhetoric echoed that used by conservatives going back decades who have denounced cities, especially those with majority non-white populations or led by progressives, as lawless or crime-ridden and in need of outside intervention.

“This is liberation day in D.C., and we’re going to take our capital back,” Trump promised Monday.

Trump’s action echoes uncomfortable historical chapters

As D.C. the National Guard arrived at their headquarters Tuesday, for many residents, the prospect of federal troops surging into neighborhoods represented an alarming violation of local agency. To some, it echoes uncomfortable historical chapters when politicians used language to paint historically or predominantly Black cities and neighborhoods with racist narratives to shape public opinion and justify aggressive police action.’

LOL cities with high crime rates that happen to be run by black mayors does not equate to racism if called on it. that's like saying that black man murdered someone and was arrested but that is racism cause he is black.

Helping major US Cities reduce crime and increase economic investment is racist??? I don’t think so. Racist would be only helping cities with white mayors while ignoring cities with black mayors. That is not the case here.

There is a reason crime decreases four-fold+ when you cross the river out of DC and into Virginia.

Trump has once again put democrats in the position of defending crime and ignoring victims. Democrat cities are the worst for crime and thats now the subject. Trump is a political genius

flooding the hood areas has been tried many times, the pros just move next door like cock roaches until the cops get tired and then move back. These new teenagers actually have been raised to think they are actually fighting oppression and no lives matter to them yours or theirs. I don't think they can be rehabilitated, either. It may not be their fault for a terrible upbringing, but it's not mine either.

If it was not for promises he made to those who did vote for him from city areas, Trump is responding to it. He is countering the lack of policing that Progressive Socialist Communist mayors have followed as policy and the criminal element has gotten used to. Once things return to sanity, this will end.
