Make no mistake, this isn’t really about reducing crime. Using the National Guard to reinforce the work of urban police can briefly lower crime rates but, if the effort doesn’t address the core drivers of crime — such as too few jobs and too many guns — little is likely to change. That’s clear from what happened when the governments of Colombia, Mexico and Brazil sent in soldiers to police cities with high crime rates.
In each of those cases, the results show either it didn’t have any effect on crime at all, or things just got worse,” said Robert Blair, an associate professor of political science at Brown University who studied the military policing intervention in Cali, Colombia. “This strategy is ineffective at best, and probably it is counterproductive,” Blair told me.
Im tired of dumb ass nikkas cosigning this shyt. They have been doing this in Latin America for decades and it has not put a dent in the crime rate, but it has lead to a lot of people being killed and rights being stripped away.
