Hey, I agree. Years ago they had those guards there in NYC for about three weeks, then all of a sudden you didn't hear about them anymore. People should take a look at the actual MTA subway map to see how massive the system is. Not possible to keep guards at ALL stations, and the guards are only position at the tourist areas, like Times Square. And there is usually one or two guards standing there, with their back turned, on their cellphone.

As a current NYC transit police officer, I feel deploying national guards, state troopers and MTA police on those selective subway station is only for 'SHOW' and nothing but a political tactic for upcoming election. Just go to the 'hood' stations where real crime is happening these days..I guarantee you that you will not find a single armed national guard or state troopers there to deter crimes. Real criminals do not possess weapons in their carry-ons and back pack- they are all hidden close to their body, which police can not search without probable cause. Heck, searching random people's belonging is a violation of 4th amendment in first place. Just look at MTA PD selects who they search the bags- old 60yr old ladies or clueless tourists which will obviously obey the rules. Try to perform the bag checks where real criminals hang out. You will quickly learn how many people will curse you out/scream racism and would try to fight you for stopping. And even if you are denied entry due to refusing the bag check, you can simply just go to the other end of station and jump the turnstile. It's a complete joke. It is just sad to watch what this city has become and will continue to rot with this laughable liberal policies.

I grew up and lived in NYC for 50 years. During the Koch years, crime was high. However, he had a simple method to address crime in the subways.

Yes, if you rode the subway at night, it was crowded (as bad as rush-hour) with only 2 cars open, but everyone felt secure, and I never had an issue riding the trains during that time.

Because the New Yorkers (I have lived there for a few months on a network migration admin contract, so I got to see this a lot firsthand) have seen so much crap that they aren't bothered by just about anything. They ignore it and go about their business, At the same time, by stripping them of all their rights as citizens against undue search and seizure etc... they can keep the locals in line, as it were, by showing them visibly how little control they actually have when up against the government. It would not have the desired positive effect if spread evenly. However... in a tourist-focused area? They want happy, positive blogs and tik tok videos where they rave about how safe it is, rather than the opposite. Tourists often will read/watch news about all the crimes in an area before visiting, so this would reassure them, resulting in good PR when they tell their friends and family about it afterwards. It makes the most sense to place it there if that's the true purpose. Edit: Oh, and there's also the well-documented statistic that tourists ARE more likely to be robbed with a weapon of some sort, simply because they are tourists, therefore just rode in on a plane, and thus the aggressors know they don't have any weapons to defend themselves, on top of the confusion of being in a new country which causes constant distractions about what the laws regarding this situation might be there, as your mind tries to process everything around you (I can imagine coming to NYC if it was my first huge city, and I had never ridden a subway before. It would have been pretty intense, I feel) and the potential language barrier that may exist. It's a lot of factors that raise the risk, so I guess that argument could also be made for a reason to place them there. More likely victims? More security. *shrug*

@josephharrism.d.1056 That sounds great Joseph. I wish it was the same over here.

"Militarization of the subway" is a wild sentence to say.

[@thisiso0_tron_0o41]

Hi, my name is Ivan, i live in Moscow, Russia. Major city with the biggest subway system in Europe. Here we have X-Ray machines and random bag search system to prevent anything bad getting in the subway. If you are carrying in a legaly owned gun and law enforcement find that you will go through the system marking that presence on you, so if you will try to do any kind of robbery with it surveillance cameras will capture that and you will be caught at the same day. Same goes to knifes. We have very low crime rate in the Subways, because we have specialised patrol force called rosgvardia riding on the trains and checking on random people. It is impossible to commit something bad here and get away.

Thankfully Putin actually cares about making cities safe.

[@ranojutro426]

Man if they do that to black man is going to be a big riots. Did you see what BLM did when police arrested criminal??

[@FaithnGod1558]

That’s because today’s Russians are more law abiding, freedom loving, God fearing and God loving, than most Americans who live in any of the bigger cities in the United States, and without any question, those are the FACTS today in 2024. 🇷🇺

You make a lot of very good points regarding our rights and military roles. Thank you for exposing this and letting the rest of the world what is going on.

Thank God I don't live in USA.. couldn't live like that. I pray you stay safe. 👼🙏

@@lisabona7978it's only in New York City. But per our Constitution no military force should be policing within our own nation. That's the job of the municipal police, Sheriff's office. state police, and marshals.

It's happening in LA too?

LA and california in general has these same issues, primarily because both states have terrible judges who let criminals go immediately.
