Re: “Trump takes over D.C. police, citing ‘bloodthirsty criminals’ ” (Aug. 12, A1):
So President Donald Trump goes to unravel the crime downside in Washington, D.C., by surging army to help regulation enforcement. I can solely assume this may result in elevated arrests and incarceration.
However is Trump going to supply elevated jail area? Extra funding for authorized support? 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 somewhat than taking the time to suggest considerate, evidence-based strategic approaches to advanced issues.
