The argument put forth by Trump for his use of federal agents invading US cities and the use of National Guard and Marines invading US cities is supposedly one based on crime. He says Democrat cities are cesspools of death and crime and that he has to use the National Guard and military and ICE to stop crime and murder rates and illegal immigrants. That's his justification and he has made these claims over and over again but hasn't offered any proof whatsoever to back them up. Well, here's some proof I found that he's utterly wrong and/or flat out lying. Of the top 15 states in the US with the highest murder rates, 11 of them are Republican states. Only 4 of them are Democrat states. That simple fact just completely destroys Trump's argument.

The truth is that his use of federal law enforcement (ICE, CBP, etc) and National Guard and military units has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with law and order. If it did, we'd see huge National Guard and US Marines operations in Mississippi. If what Trump was saying was true, we'd see huge National Guard and US Marines operations in Louisiana, the state represented by current House Speaker Mike Johnson. But we don't. We only see ICE and military operations in Democrat states - not a single one is Republican.

We all know that Trump is a narcissist with the thinnest of skins. He has made plain and clear his hatred for anyone who dares hold an opposing view of who doesn't vote for him or support him. Look at Colorado, where he killed federal funding for a clean water initiative just because that state voted Democrat. That's not hearsay - he actually said it was the reason why. This is nothing other than retribution against people whose only crime (in his mind at least) is that they didn't vote for him. That's why these operations are taking place solely in Democrat states and none in Republican states.

I'm sure the likes of Trump felchers Leroy and Frank will offer the usual pathetic defence of the indefensible, but the numbers don't lie and Leroy and Frank are just wrong no matter what they think. See for yourself...

1. Mississippi - Republican (19.4 murders per 100k)
2. Louisiana - Republican (19.3 murders per 100k)
3. Alabama - Republican (14.8 murders per 100k)
4. New Mexico - Democrat (14.7 murders per 100k)
5. Tennessee - Republican (11.4 murders per 100k)
6. Arkansas - Republican (11.3 murders per 100k)
7. South Carolina - Republican (11.3 murders per 100k)
8. Missouri - Republican (10.4 murders per 100k)
9. Maryland - Democrat (10.1 murders per 100k)
10. Georgia - Republican (9.9 murders per 100k)
11. Illinois - Democrat (9.8 murders per 100k)
12. Alaska - Republican (8.5 murders per 100k)
13. North Carolina - Democrat (8.5 murders per 100k)
14. Nevada - Republican (8.2 murders per 100k)
15. Indiana - Republican (8.0 murders per 100k)

Hmm, quiet from Frank and Leroy. Can't defend against this, can you? Frank and Leroy are Lloyd and Harry from Dumb and Dumber, such is their mindset and the ease with which they are fooled by Trump. ;D ;D ;D

No.   They are going after illegal aliens.

ONE cohort of illegal aliens are criminal illegal aliens. Sanctuary states' local law enforcement protect them from ICE. sensible states cooperate.

Right, sure... And what of the use of the military in Democrat states to combat so called crime? Why only Democrat states when almost three-quarters of the worst murder rates occur in Republican states? By the way, those people who have legal claims for asylum are not criminals or illegal.

What are the demographics of the states with highest murder rates?


Quote:

Based on available data from 1980 to 2008— Blacks were disproportionately represented as both homicide victims and offenders. The victimization rate for blacks (27.8 per 100,000) was 6 times higher than the rate for whites (4.5 per 100,000). The offending rate for blacks (34.4 per 100,000) was almost 8 times higher than the rate for whites (4.5 per 100,000) (table 1). https://bjs.ojp.gov/content/pub/pdf/htus8008.pdf

FBI data also shows that trend continues today.

Quote:

When the race of the offender was known, 55.9 percent were Black or African American, 41.1 percent were White, and 3.0 percent were of other races. Law enforcement reported 726 justifiable homicides in 2019. Of those, law enforcement officers justifiably killed 340 felons, and private citizens justifiably killed 386 offenders during the commission of crimes. (See Expanded Homicide Data Tables 14 and 15.) https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/topic-pages/expanded-homicide

Blacks are 13% of the population FBI data shows they were responsible for 55.9% of all murders.

When you break FBI data down by age and sex it's around 5% of the population doing around 55% of all murders.

Black majority areas are going to be far more deadly than white majority areas according to FBI data it's nothing to do with which side of politics you prefer.

In the Northern Territory Indigenous homicide rates are 9x higher than Non Indigenous Australians.
A clear pattern here and in the US.

Good God, what's the big fella doing about New Mexico, Illinois, Maryland and North Carolina?

I know the leftist judges on the Supreme Court have ruled it out, but where's the federal troops?

Where's ICE, Border Control and the Dept of Homeland Security?

A massive fraud of this kind allows the big fella to terminate all rules, laws and articles, including those in the Constitution. He's free to suspend erections. How do we know?

Still awaiting for the announcement by Trump that he's sending the US Marines into Louisiana to deal with the terrible crime wave happening there in US House Speaker Mike Johnson's state. After all, his state has the second highest murder rate in the entire country.

Mike got erected fair and square, Armchair. If you have a problem with the good people of Louisiana, I suggest you take it up with the correct authorities.

Good heavens, they still have a rule of law, you know.

Or have the leftards forgotten that?

Which state's murder rate went up by 16%?

I'm curious.
