    Do you think they'll need to use the machine guns on the top?

    I am pro-cop on nearly every controversial story (George Floyd, Jan 6th, BLM, Daunte Wright, etc) but this show of force is just embarrassing.

    You talked about the data, I specifically did not use the DC-reported data but the FBI data that does include aggravated assault (etc) as part of its violent crime trend. Their data matches the chart I posted above. https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/explorer/crime/query

    If Trump or congress said they were funding an influx of police officers to focus on late night crime trends or other pockets of crime in certain DC wards, that would make sense. Marching in a convoy of humvees and machine guns is lazy Trump distraction bait.

      Oh man did you see what Trump did when he heard about someone jaywalking? Crime is crime, I'm glad it's being stopped.

        blah blah blah, a bunch of words to basically state that “no, I haven’t investigated the claims about data manipulation by the DC politicos made by the Police Union”…

        Boy, it sure is difficult driving around all the machine gun emplacements this morning… And the rocket launchers… It surely does feel like North Korea down here.. :eyeroll:

          The other way to think about this is that it is intended to send a message that the years of lax or nonexistent law enforcement is over.

            Imagine getting T-boned by an MRAP because Trump wants to get his base’s mind off of the Epstein files.

            Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                Reminds me back during the Furguson riots I think, when the local cops were criticized for bringing in military equipment. One Iraqi-war veteran commenter said “I’ve led patrols in Falluja with less armor.”

                Thank you for your attention to this matter.

                        It's funny how he said he would drain the swamp but he is BY FAR the most egregious SWAMP KING I have ever seen in the white house.

                          Maybe you just don't understand what he means by "swamp." You need @Jolly here to translate for you.

                            I have added another item to track in my President Trump economic scorecard, and that is the number of federal workers. We will see how this does over the long term.

                            End October 2024: 23.51MM
                            End June 2025: 23.58MM
