Episode notes
Partner On Real Public Safety
- Say yes to federal help but demand sustained resources like recruiting and license plate readers instead of performative National Guard deployments.
- Articulate support for more police, after-school programs, and violence intervention to build lasting momentum.
Prioritize Effective Crime Investments
- Invest in recruitment, license plate readers, after-school programs, and violence-intervention initiatives rather than short-term troop shows.
- Those targeted investments reduce carjacking and youth violence more reliably than temporary National Guard deployments.
Mosaic Of Institutional Erosion
- The National Guard moves, DOJ raids, and politicized appointments form a pattern of institutional erosion rather than isolated events.
- Taken together, these actions signal a shift toward autocratic tools that weaken norms and oversight.
