@newsnationnow: “There are a lot of citizens in our community that are scared,” says Memphis Mayor Paul Young about the National Guard being deployed to the city. He doesn’t think sending troops will bring down crime but said he welcomes the help.
"citizens are scare" of the national guard??? naw citizens are scared to pump gas, go to public events, let their kids play in the neighborhoods, go to Walmart, go to the wolfchase mall...

Memphis has been out of control for years and he needs to take accountability.

Went to the Cooper Young 4 miler yesterday, MPD was there to control traffic. No one was shot, and there was no National Guard. Don’t believe the hype.

It was his call. He decided to let criminals thrive. He decided to not enforce the laws and let repeat offenders go out and commit crime over and over again. He could have done his job and the national guard would not be needed.

Mayor Young's concerns about the National Guard in Memphis really hit home. We need real solutions, not just a show of force.

just to be clear for anyone who doesn't live here, the DA has not been prosecuting many of our violent offenders by allowing plea outs. we have 10 criminal courts here and they prosecuted 38 criminal cases last year. that is less than 4 per judge, don't believe me dig a little deeper and see the truth. additionally we cannot keep police officers because they have cut their benefits so they train here for the sign on bonus and then transfer outside our city to surrounding areas. the local government is racist, corrupt and negligent. we have the highest taxes in the entire state and the conditions of predominantly black neiborhoods is absolutely appalling and it's due to pure neglect from our elected officials. it is a cesspool and our own political "leaders" don't even live within the city they serve because they know the conditions and crime.

mayor Young is correct. poverty and no hope are the underlying issues that drive crime.
