@pbsnews: President Trump paints the nation’s capital as a city beset by crime and called in National Guard troops. D.C. leaders contend there is no crisis, pointing to crime rates at 30-year lows. Charles Lehman of the conservative Manhattan Institute argues neither side is telling the complete truth. Amna Nawaz spoke with Lehman about how both the locals and feds could pursue smarter solutions. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #washingtondc #dc #nationscapital #nationalguard #donaldtrump #donaldjtrump #trumpadministration #whitehouse #crime #crimerate

I mean, he’s not wrong. DC is overrun with crime. Heck, I heard the resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave is a 34 time convicted felon and adjudicated grapeist AND he’s married to an illegal! Report it far and wide so that they can remove the trash from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave!

I'm a regular ol' white lady.... I've walked all over DC (gotten lost all over) at all times of the day and I've NEVER felt unsafe

The only emergency is in the whitehouse

Frank0Dank0 :

Once trump got there it certainly became less safe

Jana 🦢 :

This administration doesn’t care about public safety.

Wow, it’s crazy that he’s justifying using the US military against its own citizens. This is wrong, there is no reason for US soldiers to be deployed against its own citizens.

natureboy02002 :

sooo.. no, this is not reasonable, planned, nor will they have data to support it's progress, extenuation, or ending

Motivational Pancakes :

One side is invading with military force. I dot. Want to hear anything else except them be held accountable. This is far too dangerous to be so “both sides” about this.
