Oh, Louisiana...
Well, here is a baffling development: Louisiana is sending national guard troops to suppress crime in DC.
Shreveport, Louisiana has a violent crime rate of 1228/100,000. DC's is 948/100,000 people. It seems like maybe DC should be sending troops to Louisiana.
But, of course, that's not really what this is about. And that's a shame because the truth is that crime is not evenly distributed, and a "surge" of attention at the right time can make a difference. In 2023, DC really was in trouble, but their rates of violence have come down since then. If all this was rational, we would be sending resources from other states to Memphis right now, and that would be a good thing.

As a person who works in the District of Columbia, I can tell you that none of these troops or agents are being deployed to prevent crime. They are not being placed in areas where crime happens. They are running roadblocks in high traffic area and seizing immigrants, or anyone who looks like an immigrant. They hope to create confrontations and incite violence. It's sick and evil.
