No President Trump
says too many killers on the street.


The Mayor can not stop the FBI
and the National Guard going on the streets


Newsnight BBC2HD
had a report of
A USA reporter saying
Armed Street Gangs & Mobs are
too much for the Police.

And the Police Union
are supporting the help?


It's around 800 National Guard
no number on the FBI

If that's genuinely his reason then I personally have no issue with what he is doing.

Many people don't realize how much crime is in DC. My husband distinctly remembers being several blocks from a shooting on the steps of the one of the monuments when he was much younger. It's similar to Baltimore in that way that walking around there at night can be unsafe depending on where you are. Anyway, both cities are within driving distance and share similar problems with the working population easily making 6 figures, whereas you have a service class that hardly makes sh** and cost of living is very high in DC and in Central MD. There are bigger income disparities in that part of the US.

The difference here is DC doesn't have Statehood so he has more leeway to use federal resources to clean it out. The people protesting are probably considered a feature at this point, because they're bringing attention to issues in the city that most voters would care about if they were even aware. I've already seen a few clips come my way showing some of what was happening there and it's bad, but not something I'm surprised by given I knew this already...

i think the background behind it is that Trump wants to control the security around the whitehouse for issues that are likely to arise from protests in the future. He doesnt want to have to co-ordinate with a mayor when his forces are shooting people

Yes, he (Trump) spoke on TV News
saying how Putin is coming on Friday (Alaska).
And he does not want trouble in DC
