This is the dude yall are on here defending…then yall wonder why democrats are struggling 
This dude needs to be impeached. Just a complete lack of basic governing and a total abdication of responsibility.

The optics of this situation is bad. We don't want the military up there but the right wing media has made Chicago shooting statistics a major thing for years. They don't care that it's black people getting shot, just that it's a liberal city. So therefore, how can you say shootings will continue. Might as well roll out the red carpet for the military then. Such a bad situation.

Wearing Lions gear when it wasn't cool
I'm assuming most people because the visuals of the military walking around on O Block aren't going to be for altruistic reasons. It's to get people used to a militarized state. Which is something we should never want to see.Who is "we"?
Most reasonable, non ignorant people will welcome the FEDS/military to address Chicago crime
Chicago wants the national guard

Michigan Avenue in Chicago is one of America's most iconic and beautiful shopping districts, just off Lake Michigan. It's also one of the safest streets in America, so this is just performance art for the Trump administration, because these guys are just gawking tourists.
