Has the National Guard Decreased Violent Crime in D.C.?
@maustermuhle: No, because violent crime will just move somewhere else. And I think there's been studies showing that, yes, property crime decreased when the National Guard was present. Violent crime didn't change. So again, is it freeing up MPD to focus on violent crime? I think there's a certain degree of that.
Now, is that the way we should police, where we just say, let's deploy the military so the local police can do their thing? Not sure.
