I’m 100% for it. The last time DC had some peace was after the tragedy of 1/6 when tanks were on the streets.

She can’t do it because it’s not in her interest. She’d be missing her career goodbye

Sounds like Biden needs to then. Shall we march on the white house? Stand in freedom plaza and demand protection (the irony!)

Please don’t stand on the plaza. You’ll damage the paint job. Then she’ll again have to spend the money we don’t have to yet again paint up her one accomplishment in DC

I’m watching this from afar and laughing. We moved around the time my friends started lecturing me about how looting is a form of free speech (Covid riots). Enjoy your stupidity, y’all!

Glad you took your racist self, somewhere else.

Having lived somewhere under national guard control I would prefer not do that again. It was safe but also felt scary at the same time. And the curfew was brutal.

Precisely why I moved. I am not racist. I do think that people of all colors are harmed by lawlessness. In fact, minorities are harmed the most by progressive policies, so you’re the racist.

You did not know how progressives view crime before you voted??

You people are so dumb. She can't call the National Guard as Mayor. Only the President, Congress or Secretaries of the Army and Air Force can. Remember when we couldn't get the National Guard during Jan 6 b/c Trump wouldn't allow it.

They have been unwilling.

she can request it.

Then you are unaware of how much hyperbole and disinformation this thread spews. It's local Rs trying to use the fear mongering tactics of their party to get elected.

But for what purpose? The National Guard cannot address the crime lab back ups or prosecute crimes. This is a really dumb thread.

Yes, but there has to actually BE a state of emergency.

Yes, I'm sure living in a literal police state would be very popular among DC voters.

I was tempted to move as well, still am. My friends lectured me too. Isn't it their stupidity though?

Not sure why disagreeing with looting is racist... sounds like an argument these 'friends" would make.

I don't think you know what a literal police state is... that's part of the hyperbole that got DC to the point we are at now.
