re: Who here supports sending federal troops to major cities to combat crime?

only if they ask for the help. I remember when New Orleans had a crime spree I think either the mayor or the governor brought in the National Guard and it worked in lowering crime. I assume these states with high crime rates can you call in their own National Guard if they want to.

Do not support unless as adjunct to ICE/deportations. I see these functions as essential to federal law and national security.
That’s where my tolerance for federal police power begins and ends.
I do not want the next Marxist that Democrats put in charge of the auto pen policing individual states. I will not end well.

This. Say goodbye to your guns.

I never felt safer in New Orleans than when the national guard was there.

However, I also believe that part of determining whether something is truly right and good requires looking beyond first-order effects and considering possible second-, third-, and fourth-order effects as well. For instance, a person might argue that providing the homeless with food, clothing, and shelter is right and good (and many churches and other organizations would agree)—but if doing so removes incentives for those people to provide for and better themselves, I question whether those actions are truly right and good.
. I recognize that this good can and most likely will be attempted to use for evil in the future by those same dims who hate their power base being disrupted. BUT- you cannot fail to do what is right and good because you are living in fear of the revenge of truly evil people.
In the same vein, even if deploying troops to American cities leads to a drastic reduction in crime, if those same troops are used by another party to facilitate a truly totalitarian, Orwellian state a few years later, was it truly right and good to deploy them in the first place—no matter how noble the original intent?
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
