Reagan closed all of the places where people can be committed. It is part of why there was such a huge homeless explosion since the 1980's. GOP cuts to health and human services and the VA pretty much guarantees this is the result.
This. The laws on involuntary commitment haven’t changed. These people aren’t being given help by federal guards - they are just being moved and become “someone else’s problem.” But I guess you don’t care as long as they aren’t in your face (Anecdotal Annie) -signed someone with bipolar relative. It is shocking what it takes to commit someone.

Not only has the right ie gop defunded the police . Project 2025 explicitly removes their over time pay. Any police that vote did the Republican Party literally vote against themselves

Yours is the voice of the silent DC majority. Thank you for saying this.

Anecdotally, I see a lot less fare evasion now.

This thread has aged beautifully.
How would the NG have prevented the murder of the young EO en in Charlotte? Be specific.
The NG in uniform around the station would have deterred the accused from boarding the train. Most of these people are so addled they can't tell the difference between uniforms.
How can you possibly know that?
Are you suggesting that the criminals run toward the police?
Criminals might not but a schizophrenic who hears voices might.
Completely false narrative about schizophrenia. Shame on you.
What's the false narrative. The man had a history of hearing voices.

They would not have deterred someone who is hearing voices in his head.

First person to do that gets to be the next Mayor.
Didn't need the national guard here to do that. You need federal prosecutors prosecuting crimes (they weren't and it isn't the DC AG's responsibility) and you need the funding for the MPD and various social services, which the GOP has cut.
Uh, who was behind the disastrous "defund the Police" initiative? This is the result. And, by the way, it's wonderful to walk around freely on the Hill. Residents are loving it. Even the car wheel and rim thefts have disappeared.
the phrase was devised out of frustration that black men were being slaughtered extrajudicously by police. the right weaponized the phrase. At the end of the day, it is the GOP who vote against funding bills who are defunding the police. The left has not actually defunded.
The funds were diverted to non-profits offering useless wraparound services in DC.

Are we going to gaslight that the DC council is on the right?

Except, it was all based on a lie. And, after $4 billion in riot damage things are even worse for the AA population.

So you want to live in a military state just in case somebody changes their mind about having a mental breakdown? Are people even capable of changing their mind about such a thing?
