“While adding more police officers to a peaceful society won’t likely decrease crime much, a violent community is another story. People in these communities need greater safety to live their lives. Without becoming a statistic. Law enforcement that is visible on the street can surely help. But rethinking the meaning of ‘safety’ won’t. So what’s burning? Democratic hopes, maybe. We’ll see how Trump’s move to clean up the capital goes. Yet, if he tries to use the National Guard in other cities without constitutional warrant, that’d go beyond mere policing, into police-state territory.” (08/19/25)
