It’s no surprise to anyone paying attention that residents in crime-ravaged cities like Baltimore are crying out for help. When a former CNN talking head waltzes into town expecting to hear weepy hand-wringing over the National Guard, what he gets instead is real people begging for relief. The truth is, folks are sick of the wild west environment in their neighborhoods, and they’re ready for some real law and order.
Shockingly, even people with liberal leanings are seeing the results of failed policies. They’re screaming for more than empty promises and virtue-signaling from their so-called leaders. You can feel their desperation. Their cities have been ground zero for policies that don’t work, and it all stems from liberal incompetence and misguided priorities. The typical railing against federal intervention falls flat when families live every day worried about gunshots ringing out near their homes.

"It'll be a breath of fresh air."

It is past time to admit what the people in these communities know: crime needs to be tackled head-on, and sometimes that means taking the gloves off. Baltimore, like Washington, D.C., with its record-low crime rates thanks to smart law enforcement strategies, can get its streets back if we stop handcuffing our police. It’s a lack of tough, focused leadership from local officials that’s led us here, not brutal policing or federal intervention.
How long will these cities have to wait before elected officials stop hiding behind misguided liberal policies and start making the hard decisions? Deploying the National Guard is not just a move for those past their breaking point; it’s common sense. When everything else has been a catastrophic failure, you don’t refuse a lifeline.
What are we waiting for? If we genuinely care about the safety and future of these American families, it’s time to ensure that they, too, live without fear. Once again, will our leaders act, or will they continue to sit by and let political correctness prevail over common sense and public safety?
