Re: “Trump takes over D.C. police, citing ‘bloodthirsty criminals’ ” (Aug. 12, A1):
So President Donald Trump goes to unravel the crime drawback in Washington, D.C., by surging army to assist regulation enforcement. I can solely assume it will result in elevated arrests and incarceration.
However is Trump going to offer elevated jail area? Extra funding for authorized help? Sufficient beds for drug and alcohol remedy? Extra job coaching? Sadly, no. Like most of his options, he focuses on threats, intimidation and the train of uncooked energy relatively than taking the time to suggest considerate, evidence-based strategic approaches to advanced issues.
