Why doesn’t Trump just send the NG to NOLA, Jackson and Memphis?

The governors would have every reason to cooperate.
I realize he had to suggest to Chicago / LA bc he’s making their idiot governors defend criminal violence.
Make em say no, in public. Then do a DC type plan with the governors of Mississippi Louisiana and Tennessee (and Marsha Blackburn could run on it).
New Orleans is basically fricked. It has no mayor; It has a lame duck indicted felon, who will be succeeded by someone equally as terrible. Put the NG in the tourist areas and let the cops do cop things elsewhere.

I am guessing that he has several cities on a list, but they don't have the manpower to handle all at once.

Some might not have the same agenda.
But damn Landry could have a freakin huge opportunity to get shite done. But he’s a pissy.

I would be BEGGING him. It’s the only way Landry could win a second term at this point.

Red state governors shouldn't need to have Trump or the federal government do it. They could do it themselves.

The Louisiana State Government, counting our governor, lacks the brains and the manpower to fix New Orleans from a security standpoint. Look at the cluster frick that happened when they tried to do New Years Eve and the Sugar Bowl.
There needs to be a mission and a plan.

Those states don't matter
The whole point of this is to embarrass Newsom & Pritzker

The NG probably needs a warm up in Chicago before it takes on the gangsters in Jackson MS. And that's not a joke. The lightweights in Chicago and Detroit get their gear from the pipe hitters down here in Jackson. We've got warlords and checkpoints and shite.

I realize this. Embarrass them for a while longer, then actually take a similarly situated shithole and make it walkable again.

And I only call him out as a pissy to HOPE he might accept the help from Trump.

Troop NOLA is already on the ball. Since they came back in March 2024, there's already been a noticeable drop in violent crime:
-murders down 27–34%
-nonfatal shootings down 16–46%
-armed robberies down 19–52%
-carjackings down 32–43%
I'm sure they wouldn't mind some NG assistance, but we could use it here in BR too.

Every predominantly black city in America has a major gun violence problem. It’s an epidemic among these communities. The problem is that the optics would make it look like it’s racial. Selecting Democratic controlled cities in democratic controlled states is a smart play to prove the point that gun violence can be greatly reduced with proper policing.

It only embarrasses them if it works. In other words, if there’s no drop in crime with Trump bringing in the National Guard, then it’s only an embarrassment to Trump.
But, if he can drastically affect crime rates in the short term, by simply inputting, some human energy, it really lays bare the fact that Democrats are de facto pro crime.

I’m fine if they come to NOLA, Shreveport and BRLA.
It’s my understanding that the NG presence in the tourist areas of DC have freed up the DC cops to do actual policing.
NOLA is embarrassing

NOLA has its lowest murder count in decades this year, even including Jan 1.

Simply enforce the laws already passed n the books or make them harsher;
Felon in possession 25 yrs min
Possession of a stolen gun 25 yrs min
Possession of an obliterated ser# 25 yrs min
Those people will be locked up long enough to reduce crime. DA’s plead the above crimes down way too often and send the thugs back on the streets to commit more crime.

Each state has is own National Guard.i wouldn't think manpower would be the issue

Does NOLA, Jackson or Memphis have 50 to 60 people being shot every weekend? It's a slight of hand argument where per capita is used to label other cities as more dangerous because no one really wants to address the war zone that is Chicago. Hell, Birmingham is dangerous too, with 151 murders last year. However, in terms of sheer numbers they don't scratch the surface of a weekend in Chicago. So as a matter of size and scale, you don't need the NG in Birmingham or a Memphis, but in a city the size of Chicago, the extra man power would certainly help.
