On Tuesday, Breitbart posted an article about crime in Chicago. During the Labor Day Weekend, 7 people were killed and 49 were wounded in shootings. 

The article reports:

On Monday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “Newsline,” Chicago Alderman Raymond Lopez said that “We need the National Guard to help take off the pressure from the Chicago Police Department” by guarding city assets the police are having to guard and said that he wants to see crime drop even more than it has in Chicago and he wants the same sort of crime reduction that Washington, D.C. has seen.

Lopez stated, “It’s very easy for Brandon Johnson to put together these orders that are meaningless. But we need the help. We need the National Guard to help take off the pressure from the Chicago Police Department, which is guarding some of the city’s assets. And we could better use their personnel, their intel., and their training in the neighborhoods.”

Bringing in the National Guard would help initially to stop crime, but the city also needs courts and judges who will punish the criminals. Chicago also needs to end its no-cash bail policy so that criminals who are arrested stay in jail until they are tried.

The National Guard can initially be used to get crime under control, but until the legal systems in our major cities work to combat crime, the National Guard will only be a temporary solution.
