What you are describing is NOT a public emergency. They are crimes and there are crimes everywhere. But car jackings, muggings, and teenagers riding dirt bikes on the streets is a job for the local police NOT the United States military. Obviously! This has ALWAYS been the case.
This thread is almost 10 pages and not one of you brownshirts have provided a legitimate argument for the creation of an indefinite police state in the nation's capitol. At what point will crime rates in DC no longer merit this state of emergency? At what point does "crime" in other cities trigger an expansion of this new federal police state? You can't say! It's all vibes! And you'll accept any justification.
12 pages in and not one single Republican has been able to answer basic questions about this new fascist policy.
At what point does "crime" merit a declaration of a public emergency, the unprecedented seizure of local law enforcement and use of the military to establish domestic order? In what way does overall crime in D.C. rise to level of a natural disaster, a terrorist attack, or out-of-control ongoing riots? What, specifically, needs to happen for this "emergency" to be lifted? Why has this only become an emergency NOW? Even if the crime numbers (which are at 30-year low) are "fake," there has not been any sudden, dramatic increase in crime. It's just a whim! Based on the rationale currently being provided, there is nothing that could prevent this from being used in any city, anywhere.
You guys can't talk about any of this! It's just "well...what about the crime? what about the blacks?" That's not the point! This has no basis in law. It has no compelling justification whatsoever. You sad sacks have completely dispensed with that old "well, I don't agree with everything Trump says but..." or "well, maybe he went a little too far in this case... " No. You completely back him on everything, immediately, unquestioningly, no matter what. It's really something. Still waiting on those Epstein files you all said he was going to release!
And let me repeat, TDS is old. Everybody is tired of it. But a lot of people here are too stupid to see it. We get it. You hate Trump. No one cares. Fck off and …
Is it TDS to be against someone who is a sexual assaulter, pedo, pedo protector? Someone who pardoned hundreds who assaulted police officers? Republicans have lost sight of what they stand for.

The assault on the DOGE staffer was the catalyst for what needed to be done.

That’s not an answer. What metrics call for a military presence in the city? When does the presence end?

Federal control of DC is not unprecedented. It's how it was run for 200 years.
