He believes that deploying military troops to cities like Los Angeles and Washington D.C. is an abusive show of force aimed at political headlines rather than effective crime fighting.

“The purpose of ordering our own military to occupy our cities doesn't seem to be about fighting crime but about getting headlines that Trump is fighting crime and as always owning the libs.”

Deploying the military for law enforcement in Washington DC violates the principle of Posse Comitatus and is a political distraction.

“No, it's not a legitimate attempt to fight crime. It's another tinpot dictator move. And it has echoes of course of what we saw in Los Angeles where militarizing the police force is one violation of the principle of posi commamatus.”

The deployment of military and ICE agents to Washington DC is a political performance that fails to address crime and wastes resources.

“It is what it always is about with Trump, which is appearing on TV like you're solving a problem, not actually trying to solve the problem.”
