Keep saying it, might become true one of these days.

Lets ignore the problem and let blacks kill each other

‘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.’

Trump is lying about ‘crime’ in Washington, consistent with the fact that Trump is a hateful racist.

It ranked 4th of murders in the United States. Why don't you move there?

Miss me with that weak crap, he isn't doing this protect nobody, another MAGA lie.

You're an idiot, what Trump is doing is going to save black lives. I guess you're too stupid to realize that.

Reducing crime is racist. Interesting theory.

Our President is just looking at reality.

Its a lot safer to walk down the streets of Republican led cities like Coudersport PA, than it is to do so in Washington, and it has nothing to do with "race"

OK then lets let blacks kill each other

Tell you what, stop putting the guns and drugs into the neighborhoods and let's see what happens.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

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.

Bullshit.

OK, I'll bite, why is he doing it?

so it isn't the criminals fault he commits crimes it is the other criminals fault for selling him what ever he used to commit the crime?

Knives will kill people and illegal guns. The problem is the killer not the tool. As long as blacks live in families with no father the killing will continue

Eliminating the drug trade is definitely a key tactic of getting crime under control.

Although in liberal cities, they distribute free needles to actually encourage drug use.

 

[Hafar1014]

Bullshit.

Blacks create 53% of all murder and 93% of the time they are the victims. Who cares this isnt happeing in my hood and what not

I agree. Trump should let these cities turn into Haiti. He should urge all non black to GTFO of these shit hole cities.

 

[drudge X]

You realize that this action, even if only limited to DC, will save the lives of hundreds of black men during the rest of trump term?


You are fighting that.

There's something wrong with the IQ.

Red light cameras in black part of the city is racist but nevermind the number of black youth and senior lives saved by these cameras.

These cities are exhibitions of how inept blacks are at running cities. These cities are horrible places made worse by leadership that clearly doesn't know what it's doing. It is also one city short. San Francisco, under black mayor London Breed has turned into an open sewer.

 

[drudge X]

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.

This kind of mentality is why blacks are stuck in a vicious cycle of never ending hopelessness.

Guns and drugs are everywhere. You are saying blacks cannot make their own decisions and easily manipulated?

That theory is behind the entire defund the police movement.
