Now, before we begin, I just have to say that I am usually against this sort of thing, but the situation has become dire in some of these Democrat-run cities.
We all saw the “summer of love” from the BLM rioters who caused untold property damage to innocent civilians and violent riots all over the country.
While this violence and looting saw an uptick that summer, widespread violence, and looting are pretty much part of a normal weekend in any Democrat-run city.
In short, violent criminals are acting violently toward innocent civilians and that’s something we just can’t have. There is a stark difference between the enforcement of unjust laws and the protection of life, liberty, and property.
As a response to this, President Trump recently told a crowd in Iowa “Next time, I’m not waiting”, and hinted at using the U.S. military to clean up these deep blue cities.
Moreover, the 45th President explained that he wanted to use the military during his time as President to solve these problems but held back.
Congressman Troy E. Nehls writes: “Over 2,500 NYPD officers have turned in their badges and quit in 2023. This comes as crime is skyrocketing and police budgets are being slashed. Democrat cities are failing.”

This comes as crime is skyrocketing and police budgets are being slashed.
Democrat cities are failing.

Newsmax provided the statement from President Trump:
Calling New York City and Chicago “crime dens,” the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination told his audience, “The next time, I’m not waiting.
One of the things I did was let them run it and we’re going to show how bad a job they do,” he said. “Well, we did that. We don’t have to wait any longer.”
Take a look at all these videos from Democrat-run cities and let us know if you believe the military is needed to clean up these places and restore order, or will allowing the U.S. military to patrol the streets simply open Pandora’s box?
Remember, what we use against others today will suddenly and swiftly be turned against us tomorrow.
Those babies dindu nuffin wrong.

WATCH: These thieves managed to steal over $250,000 in merchandise from a Chicago Louis Vuitton store.
This level of crime going unpunished is unsustainable.

The legal mechanism to achieve this was outlined by The Associated Press
A law first crafted in the nation’s infancy would give Trump as commander in chief almost unfettered power to do so, military and legal experts said in a series of interviews.
The Insurrection Act allows presidents to call on reserve or active-duty military units to respond to unrest in the states, an authority that is not reviewable by the courts.
One of its few guardrails merely requires the president to request that the participants disperse.
